strange

Hey Guys I have a 1.9tdi 100 sport Ibiza 56 plate and today when i started her up she decided she wanted to idle at about 1100 -1200RPM instead of her usual 900RPM. A little reving on the throttle and a second later she went back to 900RPM I have done many small trips today and when...

Hi guys. Whilst driving my FR Tdi over the last couple of weeks i've noticed a strange sound when accelerating in 2nd and 3rd gear. The only way I can describe it is an air-leak kind of noise which lasts for half a second and then goes away. It sounds similar to the weird suction-type noise...

Hi, I’ve read a few threads about dodgy indicators, dodgy stalks etc but I can’t find one to best fit my problem. The bulb warning light is on and one of the rear indicators is out and the indicator ticks fast, no problem with that. But when I put the alarm on the indicator flashes so I...

I spotted this on ebay, but there is something odd about it, the exhaust is on the wrong side and the rear wiper is also facing the wrong way:confused: the seller dosen't know anything about leons as you will see...

Hi everyone, hopefully on my way back into the Seat fraternity. I test drove a 130 tdi yesterday and only saw around 12 mpg:confused: It had been sitting for a while and I drove it from cold. I asked the dealer who said it gets better after it heats up. Even so 12 mpg on a ten mile test...

Right was bored in some traffic today so started playing with my car revs. :whistle: Noticed when i give the throttle a quick jab the needle and revs drop for a split second before rising only very slight but noticable... Also on my drive home i was on overrun in 3rd from about 40mph...

Hi Everyone, Probs not the best way to introduce myself, but i know pretty much nothing about cars. But my arosa has done me well over the last few years, so, massive fan of the car :) I have just experienced something that defies logic as far as I can tell. When i first bought the car...

Hi there, Basically recently I have just fitted an oil temp gauge along with SeanyK who is also on here. This may be a big coincidence but I am getting a very loud buzzing sound since doing this from the engine bay which disappears as soon as I start to drive off but then comes back when i...

Hi, I have a Seat Ibiza 1.4s registered in 2001 & I have the strangest issue which is doing my head in! The stero is all part of the main 1 piece console with AC/temp controls etc & the stereo keeps coming on/going off eratically. I could be driving along & the stereo will go off, or I could be...

I have an 05 plate FR 130. It's got a Custom Code Phase 1 and uprated Sachs clutch. It's been running absolutely fine (albeit the clutch has been heavy) since I got the remap and clutch at the start of October and I have done a couple of thousand miles since then. However, last thursday on...

I've noticed this happen a few times but not always. Anyway, when I am doing say 30 and in 4th gear and begin to accelerate, as the revs hit around 2K, the whole car vibrates and shudders very violently (no exaggeration, it's also pretty noisy too) for about 500K's worth of revs then settles...

Hey guys, i really hope someone may be able to shed some light... Went out to start the car, (2.0l 16v ABF) and, well, it won't! Turns over fine, but wont spring to life. And there is now also a strange vibrating/humming sound coming from what i think is the idle control valve? I'ts under...

Hello all..... Something very strange happened to my Leon today. (FR TDI) Driving along and it went to the dreaded 1000 rpm obviously regenerating the DPF, anyhow I stopped at the shop switched the ignition off, all was fine but it was still regenerating when I switched the engine off...

Hi guys, for some reason my car has developed an odd boost problem, it 'appears' to be since i removed my N249 and N112 valves compleatly, 4th or 5th gear (not sure about lower gears) i'll put my foot down and get a peak of about 19-20psi on the boost gauge, then it'll instantly drop to about...

the wife was out in my 05 lcr yesterday, and the car decided to go a bit bizarre what happened was, the car was working fine, she went shopping, she came back to the car, started it but is wasn't running right and when revved it just died, after 20 minutes it finally started and was running...

Own a 57 plate MK2 cupra, have done less then 10K miles. Recently noticed a strange noise that appears to happen when the clutch is used frequently, i'e when driving slowly in car parks (looking for a space!!):D and having to change gear a fair bit, it also happens when pulling away on a hill...

Driving the LC to work this morning I noticed a strange chatter sound coming from the airbox area. I've smoothed my airbox and usually get a nice woosh when changing gear. I still get this woosh but its followed by a metalic chatter sound :confused: I've had a quick look under the bonnet...

I have just bought a Leon 170TD FR 2007 with nearly 18k on the clock. Having never owned a TD im not sure of what noises it should and shouldnt make. Not sure if this is a normal thing, but in 3rd & 4th gear between about 1250rpm and just under 1750rpm i get a strange wooing type noise, kind of...

When I did the service last week I modified the bottom of the airbox out a bit using a dremel on the front facing section to help the car breathe better... since doing that my passengers have noted a 'woooo-ing' noise as they put it when I'm moving... Anyone know if this is normal and just...

The turbo on the LCR has started to sound different than what it did. It is hard to explain the noise. Before it used to hiss, as it should. Now it hisses but with a wurring noise too. Sounds like there is a bb pellet in the turbo making a strange noise. However all power is still there I...
