hello! In the past few weeks, my ibiza has had real dodgy start up. I originially put it down to the cold weather, as my old 106 used to do the same. But its not been too chilly recently... When i go to start it up, it sound as if the battery is struggling to turn the motor over? The...

Well its not really a problem, but when first starting my car in the morning, its kind of splutters when it starts. I let the ignition coil go out, and sometimes do it a few times to get it all up to temp. I have no lights or error lights to tell me my glow plugs are dead, but could a few be on...

Hi All, Had a bit of a problem starting my 2.0 TDI (PD) engine today. Cranked the Car, it spluttered, and then refused to start, despite several attempts. Then the oil low warning light / alarm came on - which might not be so surprising because the car is parked on a reasonably steep...

LCR '52' plate will not start...... The battery in the fob and car are absolutely fine the problem I'm having is after getting into the car putting the key in the ignition turning it two clicks so all the lights display as normal then the fuel pumps primes but then I turn it once more to engage...

Was just wondering if anyone has added one to their car, and if there was any such tutorials on how to fit one about? Think it would be quite a nice mod to fit to the car :p

Morning, I have a 2007 reg ibiza fr tdi. Recently when the weather has been extremely cold the car seems to take longer to turn over to start. Is this just teh case that in the minus temperatures the diesel is getting thicker or do i need to get this looked into. When I say turn over I...

I have a 2001 Cupra and it is really noisy on start up when it's cold. It makes the whole dash rattle more than it does normally for a few seconds and sounds like and old diesel! It's not really noticeable when warm. Is this normal?!

Hi guys, Went to jump in the car tonight to come to work, fired up and then ran a bit rough and died. Tried to start it again and it did eventually fire up after holding the key for 6-7 seconds (which seems like an enormous amount of time when you're doing it). When it was running it seemed...

I have a 2001 Cupra 1.8 turbo 20v In the morning on cold starts it idles fine but if I move within 20 seconds the revs start to flucuates if it wants to stall. If i turn off the igniton and restart it, it's fine. If i sit and lightly rev in for 30 seconds it is also fine. When going along, in...

Jumped in my car this morning and it won't start. I've never had this problem before with it in 4 years of ownership. When I turn the key all the dash lights and radio come on as normal but the engine wont turn over at all. Because all the electrics are working I wouldn't of thought it was a...

Hi, was wondering if anyone could help with a problem I have with my altea 1.9 tdi pd.... when the engine is hot, it don't start very well, cranks over for about 3 - 5 seconds, and then starts. when cold, it starts on the key, even on a icy cold morning. Together with this, the...

Hi all, Im completely new to this and also to Seat. Just bought a 2004 1.2 12v Ibiza and have had a small issue on start up. The 1st day I had her she started really rough and had to touch the accelerator a few times so stop her from conking out. The amber sensor fault light then came on...

Hi, my mates just bought a LCR 225 has done over 125k now - it runs and drives perfectly, just when starting the car warm or cold its slightly hesitant but fires up everytime. the lights on the speedo cluster fade and brighten again while its turning over (like its needing more power) not...

First post here, had a read and this is a rather knowledgeable place especially as my knowledge on cars can be written on the backof a postae stamp. Model 1.2sx3door I have had the vehicle from new and it has had no faults until now, is is a 2004 model and has done about 91000 miles quite...

Hi Guys, This post is going to be very vague so i'll apologise before i start. When i start my 2000 20vt Sport it makes a funny noise its hard to describe and only happens on tick over, it sounds like it might be a noisey pulley / carrier is this a usual problem. I had this once on my subaru...

Hi Guys, I’m driving a Seat Leon Diesel 1.9 TDI Hj52 plate. I know i shouldn't drive on low fuel but i had and it has finally caught me out. It ran out while i was at the Traffic lights, so i ran to the petrol station and filled her up, it started up and i drive the last part of my...
