sounds

I am hoping this is nothing more than hypercondria as I've had a few 'issues' recently so hope you guys can give me some reassurance. My '03 tdi 130 had a service yesterday and since then when i turn the engine off it seems to stop very abruptly as if stalling (it's running fine though)...

My sister just rang me to say her oil warning lamp is flashing with 3 beeps (definitely the oil light and not temp gauge) The car sounds like a bag of nails. Car is a 1.4 16V She drive about 1/2 mile home with very little power from the engine. I've done a quick search and found that it...

Hey, I have a Leon Cupra 53 reg (04). A couple of problems. -When the car is cold, you start it and it sounds like the exhaust is blowing. After approx 2 minutes, this stops and it ticks over as quite as a mice. I heard it's something on the exhaust that kicks in to the warm the system...

I have a 2.0 TDI sport Altea (BKD engine - 55 plate)... which I've had for approx 5 months. As far as i remember, it always sounds like a police siren when accelerating/decelerating... i.e. the turbo spools up and down. I'd expect this a little, but it seems to do it between 1k and 2k rpm more...

I had a few questions about the 20VT Sport that I have owned for a few weeks. I have done some searching but not convinced with what I have found. On cold start up the initial noise sounds like a diesel but then goes. I have seen a few threads but not sure if this is normal for the 20VT. I...

Recently I have noticed that my car makes, what I can only discribe as a "darth Vader" breathing sound at low revs. When I am lightly feathering the throttle to pull in to a parking space or my drive it makes this noise. This noise is not from the DV as this make a little woosh when I take my...

I have just purchased a 1.4 tsi mk2 leon. I noticed it was very noisy on idle. Dealer initially diagnosed "cam follower problem" and I left them with the car. After help from Seat UK they said it was just a noisy fuel pump [which is driven from the camshaft on these engines]. They said they...

hi guys. i have an ibiza mk4 1.4 16v 100 bg at 110k since 2004. Last month, a sound like "tirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" starts to come from clutch. I had changed the clutch pressure plate with new one at service. They had also changed clutch bearing. But the sound continues. It' s coming when i'm...

Hi I am in the process of buying a Seat ibiza and went to see one today. It was a 1.2l, 2003 with 79,000 on the clock. What I found unusual is that it sounded like a diesel from inside the car. Not the knocking type of an old diesel more like a modern diesel. From the outside it sounds fine and...
