speed

Hi everyone! Last week i bought a brand new FR tdi and i´m happy with my new machine... When it hit the 1000 kms i gave it the 1st push in 6th gear (free way) and the rpm stopped at 4000,doing a speed of 210km/h...is this normal? Everybody says it hits (easilly) the 230km/h! Is it because...

car seems to be having difficulty pulling at the top end, been on vag com at the beggining of the month and all ok....had a couple of blasts and it seems to be getting slower:confused: could it be the plugs??any suggestions?? running 210 bhp and 240lb yet 135 is hard work??

Does anyone know how often this is supposed to recalculate itself? I.e. is it set at every nth second? I've noticed that my readout on the trip computer seems to stop calculating the average speed shortly after I reset it. I.e. for the first couple of miles it will update every few seconds...

Not sure if you guys mention things like this on here, as its obviously not clever to go fast... But seriously, on a "private" track, how fast has your new cupra been??? all im saying is... the book figure might be slightly too low...

Hi I need some new tyres for my Altea 2.0TDi Sport. The tyres that are on it now are 205/55/16R. I have searched for these tyres everywhere and there are very few manufacturers that do this size. However, when I search for tyres according to my registration the tyres it brings up are...

Does anyone know how to Remove the Front Left ABS Wheel Speed Sensor (G47)? I have removed the allen screw but i'm not sure how it comes out and Looked on elsawin ..... it doesn't show how to remo ve only the part. From what i can see on ukmkivs it pulls out but i wanted to check first. Cheers

whos tried this? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Display-Speed-on-A-C-SEAT-Leon-FR-CUPRA-R-Diagnostics_W0QQitemZ220153021362QQihZ012QQcategoryZ122140QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem sorry if there is already a thread about it !! i couldnt find it by searching.

My view is a std handling set set up on the beezer cupra'd is not good enough on public roads for its: speed, torque and steering potency. Ive put some rear spacers on, massive difference, Rear ARB is on-route......Front arb (eibach 22mm) a possiblity, any views? lowering (trying to...

Hi sorry if this has been asked before. I see u can gain roughly 200bhp 300lbft with chipping a cupra tdi but what i would like to know is more 0-60 times before & after & top speeds. currently the standard cupra tdi can reach 135mph where law permits, how much faster will they go with 200bhp?

Just wondering if there is a speed limiter on the fr tdi. as it seems to stop at 139 ish and go no more..... after remap it still hits the same point?? surely it would go even 1mph more with the remap???

Hi guys, i have a SPA designs speedometer i want to install. im after the best/easyest place to access the electronic speedo cable? would it be at the rear of the dials? and if poss what colour am i looking for? Cheers guys!

hey ppl i have a 2001 1.4l cordoba signo, and although its a beautiful sporty looking motor its a bit slow off the mark, roughly 0-60mph in 3 days :cry: any suggestions for speeding it up a bit?

I went on Friday, best day really as the weather for the rest of the weekend was poor. You can view the photo's here - http://gallery.thatzvinyl.com/v/Cars/fos7/

My LCR has Koni FSDs along with front and rear Eibach ARBs. For the most part the grip is phenomenal and goes round corners like it's on rails. However, I have noticed that on high speeds bends at 70mph+, such as a long tightish bends on a motorway, that the car doesn't feel very stable. It...

Ive been playing with my laptop and found the acceleration part in group 5 of measuring blocks in the engine section. It shows 0-60, 60-90, 1/4 mile etc and was wondering if these are an acurate measurement??? Is there anyone that knows about this part of vag com?

Anyone else's car do this. my heating/cooling fans seem to speed up when putting car into reverse First time it happened I thought it was just a coincidence. But now it seems to do it all the time Car's a Cupra, but not that that should matter. Can't see a reason why this would...

PD130 1.9TDi, what should the idle speed be?

Need to get a clutch to handle the 350-400HP we intend to have. Drivetrain is a 225 TT quattro BAM code with 6 speed box. Spec stage 3 or 3+ seem popular but I cant get a sensible price in the UK :blink: ECS stage 3 is an option @£850+VAT Helix @ £ 830 +VAT Sachs?VR6? Any others worth...

im getting worried about something, the car is making a huge amount of noise at speed, im talking about speeds of 85 - 100 mph on the autobhan of course, its my first diesel apart from a 05 caddy van i used to use which was quiet all over the place.. almost not there. Its not a continuous...

:think: This I ask my self 10minutes ago. The same engine with the 180 Hp in Golfs are 6speed,Gti and Tdi, the Fabias also. I thing the Cupra Tdi also with 6speed. Why let us outside of the 6speed ? Ibiza Cupra Also Golf 4motion. :) Why not Ibiza Cypra 4x4 ? :confused: I will wait to...
