solved

I though I'd share my solution to a problem I found (and due to it's nature may effect others). I had an irritating squeaky/knock/rattle from the rear driver side passenger seat. Having looked at the locking hook (square horseshoe thing) some wear was apparent. Had a drive when someone was...

Hi all Right i recently became an owner of a Y 2001 blue 1.4tdi arosa:) i saved it from the scrap heap it came into our garage with water loss and signs of head gasket anyway the owner decided to call it a day and asked us if we knew a company that could scrap it, i felt it was far to good...

Ive had a search but all i seem to find is people interior door handles snapping off Basically i opened my door from the inside after arriving at work The door would not close, it just kept bouncing back almost like someone was holding the handle up, the interior door handle has gone quite...

Calling folks wiser than me... :whistle: When I drive along, my car pulls to the right. I've had it looked at, and it was suggested I changed the front suspension, which I've done. It helped but I can say it's not cured it, and I can add the following observation: It drives completely...

Hi all, I bought the facelift gti gauges a while back as the black and yellow dials with the huge clocks wern't really doing it for me, me and my dad 'bete noir' were hoping for an easy switch over but we got the usual issue with the oil pressure buzzer. We agreed that although removing the...

Hi guys, I bought the BSH Catch Can kit as part of the group by on mk5golfgti.com. I received the kit on Saturday and got a chance to fit it last night. It was straight forward enough to fit, just like any other Golf GTI/Octavia VRS guide, but in order to fit the bracket to support the can...

No seriously, there is a sledgehammer next to it right now, and I'm sorely tempted to take my frustrations out then scrap it! Anyways I got a W reg 1.0 Arosa, since I bought it back in April its had no end of problems, and no one seems to know how to fix it, so................. Started off...

Hi guys I briefly brought this problem up a week or so back but I wanted to see if we had rectified it but no such luck. I'll go from the top as the full story i hope will help. Basically prior to getting my car mapped, it would 80% of the time boost and hold 11/12psi but i had terrible...

With the number of posts on rattles I'll post my solution up for all to see. For about 6 months my glovebox seemed to be rattling, dealers had the car twice but couldn't hear it. Anyway, it's not the glovebox. There is a plastic piece of trim under the passenger side dashboard which is...

Hey, Thought id write a small guide to this as its common and happened to me 'yet' again! On the PD130 engines like mine you may come across this annoying problem. You hear a loud bang? Lose loads or nearly all power? You have a side mounted inter cooler (SMIC) located above the left...

So after ripping my car apart and putting it back together, I think I have finally killed my electrical gremlins :clap: I searched high and low over the forums but never really found a solution so I am posting this in the hope that it helps others out with similar problems. I had 3 main...

Hi guys...Seasons greetings to you all Quick query in regards to a quote I have just received. The thermostat on my cupra needs changing. I have picked up all the parts and given the car to my mechanic to change the bits over. Now, he has said that it is a lengthy job and would involve...

I need to renew by front left caliper pins, and if they are a reasonable price, may well do all the other brakes as well. Looks like the rear are the same so ill check my local ford dealers, well i say local, think they are miles away!

Just went out in my car and noticed a loud noise when under boost. It only seems to happen when accelerating and the turbo is boosting. I can't seem to reproduce it when just revving at standstill, but it does sound a bit different. It was fine earlier today, now this! Any ideas?

Thought I'd post this up just in case other people might be experiencing the same problem since a bulletin has been released about it by Seat. A while back I started to get this weird 'ook' (or moo..) type noise coming from the engine whenever the car's been in a lot of traffic (ie...

Guy's, just thought I'd put a post up with the solution that Seat in Northampton found for my fuel leak problem, because when I searched for help there were no solutions only threads which asked for help. Firstly, I must say the service from Seat Northampton has been the best experience I...
