Hi all, bought my lcr around a month ago now off the bay and ive loved every minute so far! gf`s now jelouse lol. The bloke i got it off was abit brain dead so say the least and mechanically let the car go, but i got it for a good price so it left some money to spend. Replaced so far: 2...

Morning guys, Mk3 Cupra which normally runs like a dream won't start today. Car ran fine yesterday, no issues at all, regular temperature etc. Had a freezing night last night (often do, may not be related) and this morning it won't start. Turns over fine, sounds like battery is healthy at...

I've got a 1.9tdi 03 plate Ibiza that takes an age to start from cold. Routine is - 1. Turn key - engine sounds like it's gonna start then fails within moments 2. Try again with key held for about 5 secs(ish) then oil bulb flashes 3. Still key held (I got brave and carried on!) engine rumbles...

This is a problem I have had with the toledo ever since I have had it. When I start her up from cold, the exhaust system is really loud for a couple of minutes until the choke comes off and the revs return to normal, then the noise disappears. It sounds almost as if a baffle is loose in the...

and I'm pretty sure it's because of my own stupidity!! [:@] My car is a mark 1 Leon TDI (90). I noticed recently that on frostier mornings the car was taking a few more turns than normal to start (than in similar weather last year). Given that it's just done 80k miles I attributed this to...

last year i did the air intake modification and at the weekend i was driving down the a27 and it was flooded and the car sucked in a fair amount of water. waited for breakdown recovery to come and they got it started again but about 10 miles down the road it cut out again! lost all power in...

Hi, Sometimes my leon wont always start 1st time. Everything is turning over ok but it doesnt seem to fire up. It will start eventually and sometimes its fine for a week then starts playin up again but its just a pain in the arse. It runs ok aswell once its going. I had a fault code scan...

Hi all, For many years now I've been following the remapping scene and have educated myself to a point where I think I can see myself buying professional tools (no galletto's/KWP2000's! Think more Optican Dual/Byteshooter) and starting to offer remapping as a service using files from a highly...

Now that the cold has arrived and temperatures have dropped to zero, i'm now got problems starting my car in the mornings. i would need to start the car and press on the gas pedal half to all the way and even then the car would splutter for a few seconds before running. Anyone else having...

I have searched, but found nothing conclusive on this issue.... When I first start my car from cold it chucks out a cloud of blue/whiteish smoke, and also does it when going from 1st to 2nd, and less so from 2nd to 3rd, with occasional large puffs on a trailing throttle. The problem seems to...

Can anyine throw some light on what/where the J271 relay is or if these codes point to something else? The car has failed to start twice in the last 3 weeks, it just turns over for a bit then will fire up and run rough with the EPC light on. Turn it off and start it again and it'll be fine...

Hi All, As this is my real pride and joy i thought id add some pictures and details. Its not a SEAT so dont shoot me :) but i have got the LCR as the daily driver. As an avid karter including BUKC and track day fan i decided with my Dad to build a mainly track focused car so we dont ruin...
