:help: My Ibiza has been running really bad in the mornings over the past few weeks.:cry: Even when it not that cold. It revs up and down and smells of petrol. It never cuts out though. About a minute later or when i start driving it will be fine. It seems to have started after i fitted...

Hi everyone just a little check my leon cupra runs a little lumpy sometimes from cold when pulling away until warm, it runs superb when warm and has 66k. Just checking thats all??? Cheers Ben.

2l 16v seems to be running a bit cool of late. Engine normally operates with oil temp at 92-98 deg C and the coolant bang in the middle at the 12 o clock position. Now the coolant look to be slightly cooler and the oil temp in the high 70s to mid 80s deg C. Oil and coolant level seem...

guys, recently my mpg seems to have been quite poor. ok, so i have had the air con on pretty much constantly since i got it fixed a month ago but i dont think it is that. after i start the engine, if i watch the average mpg on the trip computer the first number that appears is usually about 5...

I've bought an amp, and some component speakers and adaptors. It looks like my speakers are going to be here before the amp, and while I can fit the speakers myself (hopefully) it might be a while before I can get some help with the amp. Can I run a set of components (Infinity Reference...

What is the general consensus on running a new car in these days?:confused: Just picked up my (second hand) 2.0 TDi Reference Sport. It had 15 miles on it when I picked it up!:D I asked the main dealer about running it in gently, and he said watch the brakes as they won't bed in for the...

Just been out and bought a V5 Toledo on a 54 plate and after a 100 mile drive the car started running lumpy and the dignostic light came on ,Should i be worried ? I've seen and read a few forums on here with simlar issues and the problem points to a INGNITIONS MODULE would that be the case for...

Hope you guys can help - my LC has briefly run rough a few times over the past week but quickly cleared itself. I put my fault code reader in the car expecting the problem to return and this morning it did, in a big way - the car drove like a lawn mower and I only just got to work, crawling...

A friend(who is a mechanic) recommended a biodiesel supplier to me the other day to run in my Ibiza FR TDi, he is using it in his car and is having no problems at all, however its not a VAG car and was just wondering if anyone is running it on a PD engine? I've emailed seat a few days ago...

Now after attending the BTCC at Corft on sunday I asked one of the Seat Cupra Cup engineers about the set ups on the cars and got on to the matter of the DV's as i could not see one anywhere (to which i was confused) and it turns out they are not allowed them so the completely remove them, blank...

Hi all Could all you lovely v5 owners give me an idea of what sort of mpg you get? Also does anyone have any idea roughly how much a clutch change costs on the v5? I used to own a v5 and i have recently been driving a 1.8 vti civic, i'm not so sure the mpg is much better than the tolly...
