strange

Strange humming sound coming from the back of my car? I don't think its the exhaust as its not blowing! Its like a constant thing.....really loud at about 50 - 80 mph I have been told it might be the wheel bearings. Is that what it is? If so how easy / expensive is it to fix? thanx

Sorry for another one of these vague 'I have a noise' type threads but I have tried to locate the noise and haven't a clue. Basically I will be driving along happily and then go to stop... as I press the brake I get a strange metal clicking noise which comes from under the bonnet. I have...

Just as my 110 tdi comes on boost around 1800 revs in 3rd, 4th and 5th there is a shudder, but goes around 2000 revs. A friend suggested it could just be an injector problem and that i should flush them out. But i just aint sure. It happens in a straight line and around corners. Please...

Hi guys, I have a Seat Ibiza TDI130 Sport. Lately I can hear a loud vibration coming from the front when the engine is at high torque and it's driving me nuts!! Was told to change engine mountings which I did but did not solve the problem. Also when going round corners the sound seems louder...

Whilst driving home the other night, I noticed my engine managment light was on but only very dull! only just noticable that it was on, as I continued my journey it got slightly brighter and was flickering slightly until it was basically at full brightness, then all of a sudden it just...

I was at traffic lights today just before a sliproad onto the M62 when a early Lotus Esprit pulled up alongside. Just for fun I decided to have a go and didn't do too badly, but on my up-shift to 3rd there was at least a second hesitation between me hitting the throttle and it doing something...

Any Ideas as to why my car is making the following noise: When revving and lifting off when reversing down alley where i live i get the usual dumping sound but also getting a bit of a pop / bang sometimes very loud it sound sort of like a gun shot? It doesnt happen all the time and i think...

I had the radiator replaced under warranty a couple of weeks ago because it was leaking. I haven't driven the car much since then because the nice weather and traffic jams have meant I've preferred to take my scooter to work...!! Anyhow I started my car the other day just to move it back a...

Hello all My Tdi Fr 130 is 18 months old and I like it a lot. However it has had one or two problems; the electric mirros packed up, a fair few rattles (all now fixed) and last but not least a complete loss of coolant; due to a poorly positioned clip cutting into a coolant pipe. All these...

Hi, Wonder if anyone can shed any light on a boost problem that I am having. Most of the time I feel as if I have hardly any boost and just occaionally I seem to have loads of boost. Would this be a dodgy sensor or something. Can anyone shed any light on this subject? Cheers...

my new ibiza cupra is strange if i nail it through all the gears it peaks at 1bar of boost then drops to 0.5 but if im going slow say in second or any other gear 3/4/5 it peaks at 1.5 and holds 1bar its very hard to describe unless your driving the the car. under load the car produces good boost...
