Now then, I was browsing the net the other day and whilst I was on there I thought I'd check for how much cupra tdi's are advertised at/going for (my car is a 56 plate with 52k on the clock by the way) and checked a couple of valuation sites afterwards. I was pleasantly suprised to find...

Hi, I am currently the proud owner of a Seat Leon Fr Tdi, its an 05 reg.Its a standard 150bhp. This car has got to be most washed car i have ever owned just for the fact that it is simply brightest red ever when clean. Before this i ahd a platinum grey Leon cupra tdi with a 190bhp remap...

Hi. I've been a member here for a few weeks and have had my Ibiza FR for 2 weeks now: My kids have named her "Bubbles De-Beeza" after I told them she couldn't be called "Bella"! I've been reading a lot of threads and trying to learn as much as I can from this forum. Up until a few...

Has anyone tried to replace standard FR PD130 plastic pipe with the Cupra metal PD160 charge pipe?? (6LL145770B (egr to smic)) Is it a direct replacement?? Or can anyone recommend a direct fit aftermarket upgrade please! Cheers amigos

There are a couple of reasons I have been thinking about changing my 55 plate FR TDi, and one of the big ones is suspension. I find the A3 and Golf to be generally better damped and more suitable to the crap road surfaces that we all have to drive on, but I don't want to part with a big pile...

Hi, just wondering if the engine oil used in the ibiza 1.6 tdi's is called platinum? Any help would be great. Thanks

Hello ladies & gents, Pardon me if this question has been asked a million times but I've had a quick search and can't really find anything that answers the question.... I'm wanting to remap my Ibiza but as it's the PD160 engine, will it be able to withstand extra power/torque etc or is it...
