strange

A couple of weeks ago I ran the car to warm the interior up before going to work. Bit surprised to find the interior still icy cold even though the engine was up to temperature. Even stranger was the fact that as soon as the car was rolling hot air poured out of the heater! The climatronic works...

Has any one got any ideas as to why my 08 Altea with climate control steams up when the climate control is put into the "Econ". As soon as I put it into "Auto" mode the condensation is quickly removed. The condensation starts from the front of the car to the rear and even appears in the...

Picked up my Altea Sport TDI DSG today (2005 model) and was doing the 60 mile drive back from the dealer when I tried to accelerate and the car would not. I was in 'D' and put my foot down and saw the gear display change down to 5th and the revs go up but the car would not accelerate. I then...

my leon tfsi fr makes a strange hissing noise!!! When i turn the engine off and get out i can hear a hissing noise that sounds exactly like air coming out of the front tyres. It clearly isnt the tyres as i have checked the pressures over the past week or so. It must be in the engine bay...

Hi, I've done a bit of a search on this but would just like some clarification as my problem appears to be slightly different to those I've found described. My temperature gauge will sit at 60c (bottom) for a very long time, slowly creeping upto a quarter (quicker if you turn the heaters...
