Well its not as simple as that, basically I got my friend (who has fitted these before) to fit a double-DIN Alpine headunit into my Ibiza. I went off to work and he finished about 6pm but he left the interior light on. I came home at 1am to find the light on, opened it up, it started okay and...

Guys I've found a K1 for sale 20k miles on a 2007 - 07 plate for 15k. Did they make the K1 at this age as I've checked Parkers for the value and its only displaying 2008 onwards. Obviously if this is incorrect the car is highly over priced! lol Cheers for the advice Jim

Calling on the wisdom of other owners for suggestions of what could be wrong.... (want to have a better idea of what *could* be wrong as I've never used the garage that recovered the car... don't know how much they would want to try it on). -Drove 180 miles from my folks back home -3 miles...

For the last week I’m having trouble starting my cupra in the mornings. It’s taking me four or five attempts to get the engine started and am wondering what the cause could be. I’ve searched through the MK3 section and found that a few other people have had problems starting their cars and...

It wasn't until someone said it, and it has me slightly worried. But when I turn the engine over it produced a juttery sound just before it starts running idle. A friend says it has a similar sound to "idle cams" :blink: has anyone else noticed this, or now I have said it does it bring...

Yes Folks, 4 and a half months of waiting and I have finally got rid of me Pug 306 and received my Dakota Red Bocanegra. I was shaking slightly when I collected it, due to it being the first high performance car I've really ever driven. But after I filled her up and did a couple of miles, all...

Please note this is a merge from the old TDI FAQ, some links might be missing the old pics for example and some info might need updating. This thread can continue to be updated by adding new posts to it. Note that a general search of the TDI section can yield new results on old topics so for...

Had a searched and found a couple of relevent threads but nothing with a conclusive "fix". So my 2002 V5 has a little trouble starting now the weather is getting cooler. I need to give a little throttle on cold morning to stop the engine dying straight away. VAG-COM shows no faults. Is...

"Seat Ibiza 1,8 - 1995 (4-doors)" I have a weird problem! I fit a new lock-cylinder to the drivers-side door. The lock-mechanism in the door itself works perfectly but suddently the central-locking-system (CLS) doesn't work. Now all 4 doors only works kind of manually (like any old car...

Hello, I tried to start my Seat Ibiza today and it just wont start. The engine seems to be turning but it then just "coughs" and dies. I will get the AA to have a look at it. Since it is under 3 years old, any idea what the 3 year warranty covers?
