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...

hey all, damm electric windows. Right when i use the window controls in the car none of the windows will work, but if i unlock the door and leave the key in the windows come down and go back up if i lock the car. Any ideas and help would be great.

I have noticed the coolant temperature gauge has been going to 90c then falling to 60c and then back up again. The temperature will fall when I'm crusing at speed with low revs to 60c (motorway driving), then rise to 90c when stationary or driving around town (i.e. constantly accelarating /...

Got in the Leon this morning and noticed that the headlight dash light was on :confused: Thought maybe I'd left my lights on overnight but the lights were off. The warning light is lit but its fairly dim. when i turn the headlights on the light goes back to its usual brightness :shrug...

Hi all, I have a strange rattle/vibration coming from what sounds like the exhaust (manifold end) when I give it medium amount of throttle going through 2nd and 3rd gear at 3k RPM, doesn’t do it at stand still or if I pass through 3K RPM gently just when under heavy load. It’s a highish...

Hi everybody, does any one have experience something like this? everytime i stop my engine (1.9 tdi 130 - ASZ) i have a noise that came form the vacuum module in the engine compartment that seems to be some circuit that is "beeing clean" and then stopped (it takes about 15/20 seconds after the...

Folks, Anyone ever seen an issue where all the dials on the dash fail temporarily but the MFD (computer display) keeps working? I thought I'd better give my Leon FR DSG a run to keep the battery charged since its been sat on the drive for 10 days in all the snow and ice and I'll not be...

Guys, Could not resist a quick shot of putting my RNS510 from mygone and forgotten R32 into the FR tonight. Now before I did this I had read various posts about the clock shift that always happens on pre 08MY cars. Now as soon as I installed it sure enough the clock shifted. However I noticed...

Hi, My coolant level is bang on max when cold but drops to just above min when up at normal temp (90c) When I open the cap and de pressurize the system the level is back to max again the same thing happens when it cools down completely. Seat have no idea:confused: which is no surprise I am...

I have fitted a new MAF after the car was running rough (plus done over 70k now), but since fitting the car seems to be boosting a bit strange. It is smoother now but seems to bog down around 2000rpm in most gears, like bad turbo lag, and seems slower. There were no other problems before...
