I have a 2000 Toledo V5 (150) with a water leak which is now quite severe. I have changed the Flange which needed done but their is another, bigger, leak from the very rear of the engine. It appears to be coming from the cylinder head area as water is running down the underside of the exhaust...

Just wondering if anyone has had the same problem. My seat has been leaking and flooding the Nearside front and rear footwells with water, My mechanic can not find where the leak is, just wondering if any one knows where he could start looking ?

hello people. This is a plea for help!!! got a 1999 Cordoba which has just gone thru MOT, with the help of a little radweld. Think the mechy man has cocked up, cos now the rad header tank is bubbling away like a kettle. rad fans don't seem to be running either. any ideas?

Just had cambelt and water pump changed as we bought a car with no service history and it's done just over 100k. Since it's been done the car is blowing cold air out of the heaters and keeps overheating. Phoned the garage who told me to keep an eye on it as it could be the head gasket. When I...

My car seems to warm up to 90C, then sometimes drop off to 75- with the needle being quite eratic between 90 and 75, as if the sensor is faulty. Anyone got any ideas? CHEERS

right my secondery water pump stoped working so i checked all the fuses and they where ok followed the quick fix guide on another thread and got it to work via a 12v battery but when i put it back in the car still nothing so i took the plug out of the pump and tested the plug with a volts meter...

Right, my secondary water pump has packed up. Not working at all. Before anyone bites my head off I have searched. Have checked the fan fuse on top of the battery and it looks fine. Also checked that the plug hasn't come loose on the pump itself. I'm going to try and strip it down and...

Hey, Just a quick one - my water level is about a cm over the indicated level, is this OK/safe for the engine? :think: Thanks :)

Hi, why did they drop the temperature gauge in the MK5 Ibiza ?, i like to have one just to make sure the engine is warm enough to throttle up and also to make sure it's not overheating. But the mk5 has lost it's temp gauge. I have the temp readout on my scangaugeII so it's not of particular...

Has anyone else ever noticed a fair bit of water in the door? When I stripped the door down earlier I noticed there was a little bit of water, thought nothing of it. As I carried on i felt the wrap around the loom was soaking and there was water around the speaker and in the adaptor too. Do...

Hello My 98 Alhambra has started to leak a bit, the water comes through the roof lining by the clock and the passenger footwell is awash. Are there any obvious places for me to look or is it a hose job and hunt for the leak? Dave

mine been dead for months just found this but unsure weather it is the right one look like it is to me but could some one confirm that this is right...

Recently its needed toping up around every 1000 miles, Is this normal or somthing that needs fixing? If so, head gasket or seals in turbo? cheers guys.

Hi Guys, I bought a mk2 tdi 2.0 2006 (18k miles) last weekend.. When I start the car from cold it is pumping out loads of white / blueish tint smoke until the engine has completely warmed up. Another thing I have noticed is that the coolant level dropped below min from above max in...

Just for info really if anyone wonders how much this will cost. From my SEAT dealers today (I took it there because I'd rather pay extra for people who are supposed to be experienced and know about common faults) FAULT: Water ingress from 2 places into the passenger footwell over and under...

Hi all, As the title suggests, the water temp on my Mk1 Leon 20v Turbo keeps dropping from the normal 90degrees to around 75. Anybody have any ideas as to why?

Enquired about a cupa r ive seen for sale and owner says its stamped to say its had a cambelt change at 46k. Would the dealer automatically change the water pump at the same time or is there a possibility only the belt would of been done?
