Hey All, Had my MOT today and they picked up that my front shock strut bushes are nackered. I've got adjustable koni coilovers on it. I presume I can't just get standard ones. would i have to get them from Koni are are there aftermarket ones i could use?? I presume in fitting them i would...

Whilst drving my wifes 52 plate 1.9 Tdi today (after getting a fresh MOT ticket:doh:). I was reversing round a corner to turn round, this involved some gradient and full lock, I got a clanging noise, the noise a spring makes. I thought, bugger snapped spring as know this seems to happen on newer...

Are these correct ready fro fitting my coilovers, used the part number everyone says on here this came to £44.26 everyone said they were cheaper than that! Do I need anything else for fitting coilovers? :confused:

My OEM top mounts are dead and want to uprate them instead of going through the hassle of getting SEAT to replace them under warranty every couple months. Has anyone got any uprated ones or know of any at all? Did a search but not much was thrown up that was relevant. Cheers :)

Need some help oin how to replace the top mounts for my coilovers. Ive done a search but no luck. Some can do quick write up (dosnt have detailed much :D ), tips or pointers. Not sure if you have to compress the springs on them :think:

I've been told my top mounts are worn and need replacing, where about's on the internet could I but some new ones? If someone could provide a direct link that would be great as there seems to be a million different types and prices seem to vary a lot so it's hard to know what I should be...

Can anyone advise the correct grade of oil required in the event of top up between sevices for the Mk5 Sportscoupe ? I phoned the dealer who advised vaguely "any synthetic oil". Not a very satisfactory answer.In the handbook it only gives VW values but how does that translate to 10 W 40 for...

This is an intermittent problem with my cupra, the clutch pedal doesnt always come all the way back to the "stop", sometimes it will site about an inch or so too low as if there isnt enough pressure to push itself back to the top. Is the pedal sprung loaded or is it pressured into coming back...

Morning lads, Your opinions please on top 10 mods for the LC 180: Wondered if this was a useful one: http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/product.php?xProd=8022&xSec=349 I'm sure N249 bypass will on here too as a cheap effective one. Cheers, Nuts

Hi, I am going to change the top mounts and bearing on the LCR after work tonight and just looking for a quick How To guide or any hints and tips that you may have to help me out to make the job any easier. Thanks.

hi, i'm currently fitting my coilies. bought some new top mounts from euro car parts, and he gave me the mounts ans suggested i buy the bearings(front). ive got the old strut out...but im confused as to how the bearing and new mount fit...the hole in the mount is too big for the nut that goes on...

Hi guys, Hope you can help. I've currently got a 6n2 Polo GTI running full Ibiza Cupra 1.8 20VT with a KO4 and pushing about 280bhp. However at this moment in time my rev counter isn't wired up and I don't have a boost gauge. At about 90mph in 3rd and 110mph in 4th and 130mph in 5th...

Right ive been defeted...ive got a feeling im going to get an i told you so here. i cant for the life of me get my top mount bolt undone on my front strut i put so much pressure on it infact that i snapped my 7mm allen drive bit and ended up punching the floor when it gave way...:doh...

Afternoon.. I need to replace my shocks as passenger side has developed some additional movement. I'd LIKE to do it myself but will take advice if it's a bad idea.. I have a reasonable selection of tools but I do not have a spring compressor. I was planning on replacing the shocks, top...

Hi i got some LCR top mount prices the other day and from Seat its about £60-80 for front and rear. Are there any cheaper suppliers out there that list for the LCR?

Sorry I know this has been discussed before, but searching didn't really reveal the info I was after! I've noticed that the gap between the top mount cap, and the metal of the car seems to be bigger than I remember (offside in particular), and there is an uneven gap left to right. I was...

I’m changing the shocks and springs on my 2001 LC to an LCR setup, I want to change the top mounts but which ones do I need? Euro Car parts list the LC and LCR separately cheers

I put some new wheels on the Mk2 today, now its knocking going around corners. Would i be correct in guessing the top mounts are knackered again? Anything else it could be?

Eventually managed to watch Sunday Nights Top Gear and was disappointed that they never had a cupra there, perhaps they will if Seat brought out a 300hp version! I know it probably would have been hammered by the Focus ST and renault thing but i think the FR or Cupra deserves a look in to the...

When i bought my car from SEAT it was due its 2nd year service so they did it as part of the deal. I asked what oil was used and the salesman brought out a tub of Quantum Synta Synthetic 10w/40 and claimed thats what they used. As i needed to top the oil up recently i rang them up to confirm...
