test

hey there!!!! I've been searching on the web for specific details, but I cant find any. I need to know my cars compression ratio? (it is a Toledo 2002, N/A 1.8L AGN engine) and I need to know what is the average pressure I should obtain from my engine, when running a compression test...

Right well basically passed my driving test on tuesday so have been out and about in the leon giving it a bit of a test only a 1.4 but insurance kills to have more. I know its not a stupidly quick car in a straight line but in my opinion it handles very well although I have noticed that when...

Hi everyone, hopefully on my way back into the Seat fraternity. I test drove a 130 tdi yesterday and only saw around 12 mpg:confused: It had been sitting for a while and I drove it from cold. I asked the dealer who said it gets better after it heats up. Even so 12 mpg on a ten mile test...

Well I have been having a nice break from work and as I am looking at new cars I decided to check out the Seat Leon as it is the right size for me and looks like a nice car. I test drove: Diesel 1.9 TDI Ecomotive - 105 PS. Surprising torque right from down low upwards, nice and smooth...

Hi all, I liked the idea of a Diesel Leon 130 SE but am now thinking of a 1.8T 20V Cupra instead. Members of my family reckon I should go to a Seat Main Dealer and do the following: 1) Drive a 1.6 Petrol Leon for instance - a car I'm not after 2) Drive a 1.8T 20V Cupra - a car I'm...

I used Cruise Control today for first time. It worked fine, but the dash warning lamp did not illuminate. When i got back home I checked the lamps illuminated when key is first turned and still not all lamps were on, only some come up. (i.e. door open warning lamp does not illuminate on the key...

Just been down to local Autoworld. Was a new (since I last went in) lad in there who seemed proper sound. Got talking about the exeo, mk2 leon and golf e30. Anyway, they had the 2.0l TDi (173ps or summat - I forgot) in the showroom with all optional extras. Looks mint! In silver. Driving...

Got some new products sent and though i'd test them out on my day off. I'm well impressed with the results, washed firts with meg's gold class shampoo and dried with sonus drying towels. Then tested out my new Dodo wax, Results:- Roof... Bonnet... Sides... Then applied the...

Does anyone know where i'd find the fuel test port on a LC 180. I'm fitting Nitrous and taking the fuel from here would save me having to cut the fuel line. Thanks

Called in to Alexender Bridge Seat to look at the new Exeo today, they have a black SE in the showroom and a luna grey 143 Sport for test drives. Had a quick look around the SE first and erm, it's an Audi, everything is exactly the same inside bar the steering wheel, stereo and the round...

Hi all, I've got a Magnex Catback system on my MK4 pd100. Its a decent system and has a deep throaty noise on acceleration and not tractor like on tickover. However, it does'nt have that turbo whistle at idle or loud 'whoosh' when changin through the gears, so im contemplating removing the...

So my car wont start, it's turning over but just won't fire. it started for about 2 seconds there a while ago but just petered out, kind of spluttery. I lifted up the back seat and had a mate turn the key but not start it. Isn't the pump supposed to make a sound when you turn the key? I didn't...

Hi all, Well my trusty old 2002 TDI Toledo 110 had its MOT on Saturday and got through OK.. I happened to notice the Diesel Emissions test as the bloke did it out side with some kind of wireless link to the kit inside. It was 0.93 something's, not sure of the units !! Well...

Right, well went to test drive the 1.6 16v 105PS today as my mum is looking at getting one, got to say was appalled by its performance. Everything else was great, felt really nice to drive, just the rubbish power problem. Was just so gutless! needless to say she wont be buying the 1.6 16v now...

Anyone recommend a good place to have a basic power test done, I would like to see what my LCR is making as standard. I live in Swindon and I have done a google search and found either Owen Developments (Kingston Bagpuize) or Powerstation (Tewkesbury). Thanks in advance.

I am thinking of booking my car in for a rolling road test. my car is a 08 plate IBIZA 1.9 TDI SPORT. its only done 19,500 miles. is it save to go on with this mileage, or should i wait untill i have done a few more miles ?

Well, the Ibiza is al back together (although not painted yet) and off for its Vehicle Identity Check this afternoon at 1400. Assuming it passes (and it should because I didn't use any stolen parts to repair it and it's not a ringer AFAIK:cartman:) I can tax it and get it back on the road!!!
