very close to closing the deal on a FL FR 170 tdi CR with DSG. im getting priced up for the K1 / Aero kit with the single centre exhaust. on of my quoting dealers tells me that seat dont seem to recommend the K1 centre exit exhaust for the Cr 170... anyone fitted this exhaust to a PD or CR...

Noticed on my Leon today that its sometimes tricky to get it into gear, almost as if the clutch isnt fully disengaging. Is an FR TDi 150, chipped to ~180bhp. 6 speed box. The car has done about 52k miles, so I would have thought the clutch would have lasted longer. Its done it quite...

For the last week I’m having trouble starting my cupra in the mornings. It’s taking me four or five attempts to get the engine started and am wondering what the cause could be. I’ve searched through the MK3 section and found that a few other people have had problems starting their cars and...

Didnt know where to post this (section wise) Basicaly i had a problem the other day, a coil pack went on the LCR and i replaced it with a new 1, problem solved! Today i was driving along, went into boost and it judered and the engine light came on flashing, then turnd off when i was driving...

Have the factory fitted radio and multi disc combo fitted at the mo, Only trouble is that the radio will play through all the speakers but when you play a cd it only plays through the right hand side sets. Anyone with any ideas as to what could be the problem, or anyone with a wiring digram that...

I was driving around and the wires randomly came out of the back of my sub. This causes a problem as my car now sounds crap, and i cant remember where the wires went into the connection block thing,(i dont know the name of it by the way). The sub is passive, it has 5 wires going into a 'block...

Having trouble with the free Tomtom which I received as part of the April till June promotion on my recently delivered XL Stylance. Its works brilliantly in the car, muting the radio, and switching it on when its off to speak. However my computer will not recognise it on the home dock. Tried...

Does anyone here have the TomTom option fitted to their Altea? Ours seems to be behaving a bit eratically - sometimes it works, sometimes it continually reboots, and sometimes it doesn't even recognise that there's a card in it. All this has happened since the unit was first connected to...

Now then... Firstly when I wash my car I have to shampoo it, then go over many spots with a cloth and white spirits to remove all those stuborn stains such as diesel, additives, tar etc Does anyone have a better way, is white spirits ok to use on paint? I do wash again after the white...

righto , as some of you are aware our last altea was in self destruct mode from the minute we got it . so after god knows how many shoddy repairs we eventually traded it in and got a 2.0FSI sport . now we have had that for 6months and the CAT has desintegrated :(

Right here we go on the way home tonight i lost the ability to select both 2nd and 4th gear on my 2.0LItre ABF Cordoba, it just wont engage the gears and kicks them out. I am thinking this is pretty terminal and is going to need a rebuild. Does anyone want to make my night by telling me it...

Hi all - first things first, my motor is a 2002 Tdi SE (with 36k), and chassis-wise it's standard. And guess what...I need advice once again! I had knocking from the front suspension just after buying it (which got pretty bad). I traced this to the front ARB bushes and links, which were...

Started fitting my jabba induction kit yesterday and mid way through i encountered a problem. It appears that the air inlet pipe which is connected to the maf is too short as its not allowing the heatshield to be bolted into place! Just wondering if there was a piece of silicon hosing that...

Hi All, I have recently bought a Cordoba GLX 1995 and it's a great runner! One problem I have been having is the Instrument Panel, the Speedo, and Tacho work sometimes, but not others. All the other instruments work, just the Speedo and Tacho are very tempermental. Has anyone else...
