speed

Hi all, I found the code that keeps putting on my engine light and found the root of the problem. It's the vehicle speed sensor on the gearbox. Does anyone know roughly whereabouts on the gearbox it is?? I've had a quick look but cant seem to see it. The next step will be to take off the...

Hi guys, Just stripped my ibiza of all seats apart from the drivers one and all interior panels apart from the dash in order for it all to be skinned in leather. And what can i say? My car has turned from a really potent machine into something else all together. It's a whole lot faster...

Was rather bored the other night and did this... Lets have a few, dont know why but.... be rite!! It might not be quite right but hey! Mike

Found THIS and filled in what i knew and blanked out the other boxes..... Redline RPM - 6500 5th Gear Ratio - 0.84 Final Drive Ratio - 3.39 Tyre Size - 205/40/R17 It came up with 159mph for my top speed. I'm assuming my input info was right? Does this mean in theory that the car would...

cars developed a squeaky creak, you can only hear it at low speed and it can be recreated by either braking on and off or throttle on and off, both done quite quickly.:confused:

Just wondered what was involved in fitting a 6 speed bo to the ibiza. What mounts do you need, do they just bolt in? do you use the original driveshafts? what about the shift mechanism and which box do you need? Cheers.

Hi Guys not posted much on here but need some advice. I am wanting to get lsd fitted but cant make my mind up if i should go 6 speed or not, i have a agu golf running around 350hp and have heard that the 5 speed box is not that strong, so do i change and get the 6 speed lsd or stick with the...

Hello chaps, My first post, and I ran a few wee searches but I couldn't come up with anything. I'm driving from North London to the arse end on nowhere in Wales on Wednesday, and I wondered if anyone knows what the optimum cruising speed for a Leon Cupra is (180bhp) in terms of getting the...

I recall reading that a couple of other people have experienced a rattling noise when moving very slowly to the left with above 3 quarter lock. I too am now getting the noise in my 4 day old TFSI with 200 miles on the clock. Anyone find out what was causing it and what the dealers are doing...

i see Alpine have finally released, what they claim to be, a full speed interface between the HU and iPod: http://www.dvbcaraudio.co.uk/product/Alpine_CDE-9850Ri.html I'll be investing shortly. Anybody know if the whole of the 2006 model range will support this direct connection? Rather...

Was wondering what the top speed anyone has out of a standard LCR. (Under safe and controlled conditions of course)? I got to 140mph and chickened out of going any faster, it felt like it still had alot to give, just didnt want to run the risk of getting busted :banned: and it felt pretty fast...

ok, on the spec it says 120, and more often than not they are wrong. on a run back tonight i got the car to 120.. and that was it. it did have 4 18" alloys in the back mind you but my speedo is out by at times 10mph is this right? surely not.

Have anybody changed their light from red to blue? (like the Passat have) Think it look quite good :clap:

I have a had a minor niggling problem for months now relating to a clunky change between 1 - 2 and 2 - 3. The clunkiness is there most of the time and, originally, I thought there was some crunching. Following a search od the archives, there seems to be a few of you lads and lasses who have had...

When I put the heater to the floor or to my feet, the air seems to blow much harder on the drivers side than the passenger side. Its like 80% of the force goes to my side. Are they all like this or is it a problem. :confused:

i got hold of some codes that make my climate control display speed and about 60 other things that i do not understand, it works... but the speed only displays in KPH not MPH. is there any i can change this to mph? i got them from a audi website.. but they work in the leon.

Can anyone tell me how or where the speedo gets its reading from? The speedo suddenly stopped working so I thought there must be a problem with the sensor located in experience on top of the diff housing. When I checked this there was a cable going to a blank dummy fitting that sits in the hole...

Hello, Doing some testing in my car last night ran 0-100 on split timing not highly accurate 0-62 (65 on speedo) 6.2-5 sec 0-80 (85 on speedo) around 11sec 0-100 16.5 secs 50-80 6 secs this around the right for a remapped cupra 195+ bhp by the way with out TCS system...

hope this hasnt been asked before :redface: but whats the top speed like on a leon ihi? anyone know?

Really struggling with the car and its :censored: me off. I've basically no top end speed, really struggling to get above 60, and at lower speeds really having to work it. Could a blowing exhaust manifold cause this? At the moment I have a Powerflow jobby on, but thinking of getting rid of that.
