strange

Got a bit of a strange one, my Cupra is boosting a bit oddly on part throttle. If I accelerate using part throttle, the boost goes up to 1.5bar, then back to 0.5 and up/down/up/down then settles for part throuttle driving. It's annoying as the car surges and slows as this happens. On WOT the car...

i've noticed that in 2nd gear my car will pull from 2-3,000 RPM very rapidly - needle almost jumps... it was also doing the same between 2,800 and 3,000 in 6th on the motorway is this some kind of overboost kicking in, or have i got a problem somewhere?

Hi, my car started beeping at me today as I was driving and I saw that the water temp gauge needle had hit max. I slowed down and the needle started dropping again. The coolant levels are fine and there's no leaks, but if I go over about 30mph the needle starts to go up again :(. Also power...

Only recently this has happened, but whenever i am going around a left hand bend and go over a bit of a bump in the road a weird noise comes from the front wheel on the drivers side. It almost sounds like the wheel is rubbing against something. I have only put 30mm springs on it so cant imagine...
