Hi folks, yesterday, for the first time ever since ive had my FR TDI (18 months, 21k miles with me, 5k when bought) the engine idle was up near 1000rpm and it really sounded rough! There were no warning lights, however im sure this is a regeneration of the DPF taking place. Ive had a...

A strange problem developed yesterday after i washed the car (pressure wash rinse). The drivers door seems to think it is open all the time. The interior light stays on although its set to only be on when door is open. The buzzer to remind you the lights are on comes on although the door is...

its that time to buy some new tyres, however confusion was quickly instilled I currently run Toyo T1R's all round and so I looked at Toyo T1R's on mytyres.co.uk which were £106 a corner then I looked at Goodyear Eagle F1's which were £101 a corner, so a little more reasonable BUT then I...

Thinking about upgrading my LCR to coilovers and wanted to know what else i should replace at the same time, i.e bushes, top mounts etc, don't want to pay 2 lots of labour if i can get everything done in one go. I've had a read through suspension FAQ but it's 2 years old and the most recent...

Hi y'all the wife and I bought a 2001 18t cupra today and we love it. Problems started when we got near home and found the idling was getting lumpy and the car was on the verge of cutting out, so frustrating. We have 12 months warranty on it so no problems but what could be the cause of...

Pondering what to do with my Leon Cupra. 2001 model with 120k on the clock. As per my other thread, the 'ear' engine mount has sheared off the block. This can be fixed with an aftermarket bracket. The cambelt etc will need replacing at the same time (it's still running but was scoured as a...
