  1. Engine Warm Up

    I've been having a problem with my car where it either jolts or cuts out completely with no EPC light after about 10 miles. I live half a mile from the M6 Toll road and drive along it every morning. I've noticed this problem happens at about 10 miles [if it happens at all!] Is it...

    Warm Up - Cool Down

    I'm sure we all know how important it is to let your engine warm up properly before driving it hard and cool down after driving it hard, especially for turbo'd engines, but I thought it would be interesting to hear different peoples approaches to this and, if possible, some techy experts with...

    New Mk4 emits a sweet smell when warm

    I've had my 1.2 Reference for about a week now. Is it normal for it to emit a sort of sweet, burning smell when new (the closest thing I can think of is when you make flapjack --- hot treacle and oats). It was really strong at first, and nine days later (360 miles) I can still pick up a faint...
  9. warm weather = car feels better built/tighter

    anyone else felt that when its warm the leon feels more solid and better built than when its cold. Its not bad anyway but it feels really well built when its warm. Or is it just me! Maybe all the parts expand a little and it makes everything tighter?
  10. TDI Warm up time

    Hi peeps I always hate early winter starts in my Ibiza, because it took ages to warm up, and I'd be shivering for the first 5-10 minutes of my journey. However, I've noticed the Passat (same PD130 engine) warms up FAR quicker, even before the top of the first hill I'm getting nice warm air...

  12. Warm Start Up Problems

    I'm wondering if any of you guys could help me on this one ? I spoke to a guy earlier with a year 2k 110 TDi. It's totally standard and starts first time everytime when cold, but when starting when already at running temp it sometimes takes 3 or 4 attempts. Each attempt is at least 5 seconds...
