hi guys, Ive been reading on here that the coolant pump, pumps extra coolant around the turbo once the engine on an LCR has been switched off. this noise can be heard fron the front of the engine for abt 10mins after switch off. This has been happening on my LCR ever since i got it in Oct...

Hey, After the fun and games in the snow the last few days I was wondering if the following would cause any problems?? Could a switch be put inline with the N75 to enable it to be switched inside the car. Reason for asking was that I forgot to reconnect it after I fitted my 007P and it...

Does anyone else's FR 170 TDi make a buzz/hum for about 30 seconds after you switch the ignition off. My Leon is in the grage and they have told me this is normal as it is due to the cooling fans for the turbo. I've never heard of this before and the noise is more of an electrical hum to me...

I don't know much about cars, so I thought I'ld ask you guys... Since my worn out Ibiza won't start anymore, I've got my eye on a secondhand Cordoba Vario. But the Vario's tires are pretty worn out. I had just put new tires on my Ibiza, so I'ld like to swap the wheels, if this is possible...

Hello. Ibiza 1ltr 2000 : Any Idea why the radio turns itself on for no apparent reason even when no ignition is on? (Reminds me of that film Christine!) Its one of these inbuilt dash type RDS radio & Cassette built into the centre consul with the large information LCD screen. Also the...
