steering

Hi to all. I have a Cupra Formentor for about 2 months now. I am very happy with the car but I have noticed that when I am driving the car for about 30 minutes and more there is a strange sound as you can hear from the video when I turn the steering wheel. Something like motor?? It doesn’t...

Hey guys! Decided to ask if anyone has had a similiar problem or any clue as to what's going on. Lately I've noticed that there is a low humming sound coming from the right side of my Leon when turning at low speeds. Sometimes it almost seems like the sound changes place, most often it comes...

Hey Long story short, my parked 2011 Ibiza was hit by another car bending the front wheel out. At a quick glance the bumper is misaligned, and tie rod is bent like a banana. Not sure if anything else is damaged. Insurance offered a total loss full pay out, or a partial pay out and retain the...

Hi. So, I've had my car for almost 2 years and I've only seen this now. There's this small sensor to the right of the steering column (LHD), where other cars might have a Start Engine button.. see the pictures. To me it looks like the light sensor but it seems like an odd placement.. anybody...

Hi All, New Formentor owner, got my new V2 150 about 6 days ago, done about 160 miles. Love the look and feel of the car and the driving experience. Well, most of it. Today I was out driving on an A-road and the car shut down the driver aids, including the power steering assist, and almost...

Hi all, I have a 2011 Seat Ibiza Cupra that has developed a fault with the power steering and battery draining completly. The yellow steering light is on permanently and I have no power steering at all. The battery of the car keeps dying if left unran for a day or so. It goes completely flat...

Hello good people, I am checking my sanity here, can you please share your experience. Recently I noticed my Formentor trying to take me off the road when driving in straight line, like there is an issue with steering and wheel alignment. I have around 3500km traveled, and no major issues, but...

Hello, I have had my seat ibiza fr for a few years now, no real problems. Recently my steering felt odd and it got worse over time. I have no lights on my dash for this issue but I do have a problem with my steering. It feels heavy. There's no to little noise when I turn my wheel to full lock...

Hello, I’m hoping that someone on here may be able to help me! I’ve had my 2009 Seat Ibiza 1.6 TDI CR Sport for a couple of months now and has been faultless. However, a couple of times once I’ve started her up, I’ve noticed that when turning (and not dry steering), it feels like there is no...

Hi chaps. Had a quick search, but i couldn't find any threads asking/answering these same questions. 1. Was there ever a MK1 model that came with a multi-function steering wheel? I don't see any. 2. Because -afaik- it's very close to a MK4 Golf, can i fit a Golf/Bora/Passat Highline wheel with...

Hi guys I'm new here :) So I bought this Leon with 121k miles on it 2 days ago. Previously been mapped to 210 with a dpf delete, needless to say an incredible car for a 21 year old uni student to own. Fast forward to this morning on my commute to uni, all was well until after about an hour I...

I have a 2013 Seat Ibiza FR with 28,000 miles on the clock It has had an intermittent fault of the power steering failing at random times over a few months, until last week it gave up completely and now the light will not go off and there is no power steering at all. I had a vag com on it last...

Dont know if i am putting this in the wrong section but here goes - this has been annoying me for a while now, the steering wheel of my car has become shiny and i would like to know if there is any way of making if look matt again. Any advice is appreciated!

My sister has a 1.6 DSG which she picked up today, I noticed when she turns the wheel it makes a high pitch faint whine? Is this normal like the power steering? Anyone? Thanks in advance Jamie
