strange

I have 04 reg leon 130 tdi and its developed a strange noise when you brake or set off forward or in reverse. The noise is like a cracking sound and sounds quite substantial. It comes from the passenger foot well sort of area. Its got the dealership baffled. They've fitted a new wheel bearing...

Was under the car the other day, noticed a silver corrugated thing, kind of like a small radiator under the drivers seat, any ideas? 54 plate TDI Cupra.

how come i disconnected the negative off my battery to do a ecu reset (it was off for 50 mins 0 and when i reconnect the battery the radio still works and didnt ask for a code?.............did i do something wrong :confused:

I rolled my car down a hill earlier, turned my key enough to get my power steering working and as i was rolling down my temp sensor started beeping at me. Thought it was odd but ignored it, not like it could of been overheating as the engine was off. Anyhow popped out half an hour later...

My engines not soundin to healthy at the moment. There is a strange sort of rubbin/grindin noise coming from it. Quick look this mornin before Uni and i dont think its the alternator. Going to have look when get home and check the timing belt, fan belt and alternator again. Pretty sure its...

I bought a usb OBD2 cable from ebay (i know, i know...) and am having slight issues. It was supplied with all the drivers needed to do usb -> seriel which i installed. Booted up shareware of vag-com 409 and went to the options screen. Tested all the COM ports, and it found it (or says it...

does anyone know the part number for the black textured strips which go on the pillar between the rear windows and front windows? cheers guys

I could of sworn that all my windows where up last night yet this morning the drivers sides had dropped about 3inchs :shrug: apart from having a wet seat im lucky all the radio stuff was still in there. Is there a reason why this happens or was it just a one off ?

I found what I can only describe as a hot water bottle top in my engine bay the other day. It doesn't have a screw thread though. It was resting on top of the gearbox. Does anyone know what it is? I had some diagnostic work carried out on the engine and a Forge dump valve fitted a few weeks...

Hi, I have an 03 Mk3 Ibiza and I am having an anoying problem with the font left hand corner making strange noises. When ever I apply torque to pull off, accelerate suddenly or the car relaxes back after a braking application the front left hand corner emmits a rubber squeek(ish) type...

the other night when i was driving my cupra it started to loose power while i was accelerating. i was doing about 80 then it started to drop off slowly so i let off the accelerator then accelareted again it got to the ame point and did it again. Anybody got any ideas or had the same problem.

I've noticed this before, but I'd forgotten about it as it has to be quiet to hear it and I usually have my stereo on. When crawling along in first gear - sat in traffic, clutch foot right up, and just easing the accelerator to move along. As soon as I lift off the accelerator I get this...

Hello, I had a service and MOT about a month or so ago. The result of which was that the front pads were replaced. I'm now getting a metal on metal scraping noise coming from the wheel. I'm hoping its just a stone trapped between the two plates. the noise get worse when I slow down...

I think the previous owner of my car was simple! These chips and scratches were obviously caused by her leaving the keys and some potentially violent keyrings in the lock and slamming the boot! But you would think that after a while you would notice these chips appearing and start using the...

This maybe similar to another thread going on at the moment but just in case its not i will ask here, basically it is an intermitant problem, every now and again especially in 2nd just as my car approaches 2000rpm its like it hits a brick wall it only does it when coming up to 2000rpm fairly...

It's happened a few times now but on full lock the car makes a strange noise followed by a dimming of the lights and the car seems to labour and feels like it doesn't want to do what your trying to do. Any ideas what this could be? It's an 04 LCR. It's in warranty so will take it in next...
