  2. Does clutch wear more when used when car started?

    Alright Guys and Girls OK, so maybe this question is just about Mk4 Ibizas, but, seing as it is what I have, I figured this would be a good place to start asking questions. After speaking to one of the engineers about cars in general at work today, he said something to me, but wasn't able...

  3. Uneven brake wear?

    brakes are now metal on metal all of a sudden, almost like it happened over night:confused: however it is only scraping on the passenger front and passenger rear side there is no pad left at all, like it has just fallen out almost. Plenty of pad left on the drivers front and drivers rear...

    Seat fabric wear (FR170)

    After having my FR for about 6 weeks from new and 2800 miles I'm surprised to see how quickly the driver seat is wearing... It seems to be bobbling on the left hand side quite a lot.. Has anyone else had this or is it something i should get checked out with my dealer.. Ta

  5. Best wy to wear in a new engine?

    Took delievery of a leased 0003 milage FR550 on Friday. So far not really too impressed. Got told that I gotta wear in the engine and for the first 1000 miles I shouldn't take it above 3k revs. Ok fair enough. So there I am driving around and around and aroundthe M25 trying to clock it up...

  7. Suspension wear - Front end

    Hi guys My 05 plate Tdi FR seems to have developed a tendency to weave all over the road. I do get random clunks from time to time as well. Can any of you suggest typical items that tend to wear on the front suspension of these cars? I'm guessing its an ARB bush, but I need to check as the...

    Lowered FR, OUTSIDE wear on rear tyres

    Hi everyone, Ive had my car lowered for almost a year, had two new front tyres around the same time, rears are still Pzero's. When I had the coilovers fitted, I also had it 4 wheel aligned for 80quid from a decent car garage in Milton Keynes. (Not the same place as where i got coilys...

  9. Rear brake pad wear

    Started to hear a grinding noise from the rear nearside wheel last week. When I was getting a couple of tyres repaired todat took a look at the brake pads wear. Front looked about half gone but the back looked bare. Car is a Altea 1.6 05 plate with 25,000 on the clock. Does this not seem...

  10. Strange Tyre Wear

    2001 Alhambra 115PD The NSF Tyre has ~3mm tread all over except for about a 60 degree section on the outside edge, that is worn to 'visible tread' only. Any ideas? Also what to replace them with? We live in Aberdeen and get a 'bit' of snow most winters. Thanks AD90

  11. LCR - Pad Wear Sensor

    Afternoon all, Just changed the brakes all round on my LCR (cheers Badger Bill for parts) and am very impressed with the new set-up so far. However, when removing the old pads noticed the pad wear sensor was embedded in and so we now have the warning buzzer when we turn on and the poxy light...

  12. Normal tyre wear?

    Hey chaps, All 4 of my tyres are on their way out (fronts especially) I just wanted to check that the tyre wear I'm getting seems normal, as I don't remember it from previous cars. On the fronts at least, the centre part of the tyre is noticable more worn than the sides (by over 1mm I'd...

  14. Rear tyre wear

    I know this has been covered before but all the threads seem to be unresolved. During a weeks holiday in the lake district our altea began to vibrate at 60-65mph, never thought much about it other than tyres need balanced. I've been periodically looking at the tyres as i do with any car and...

    Dreaded tappet wear

    Last week my car has reached the worn tappets stage, now covered 106k and 3 years old. Noticed something wrong when I could hear this tappety noise when engine under load. Rocker cover off and base of cam lobe on number 1 cylinder slightly marked. Apparently a common problem on the pd150 and the...

    Can anyone explain tracking/alignment to me? (tyre wear issue)

    OK, I've just had new tyres fitted after the last tyres did this: This was the front driver's side. The front passenger side was similar but not quite as bad. Wear is on the inner edge. Remaining tread was still above the legal requirement. Car is on standard suspension. I'm still...

  19. Wear and tear to leather

    I'm hopefully off to look at another Cupra properly tomorrow after just missing a great Ovni one a few weeks back, but when I had a glance in the other day I noticed something a bit odd. The car has done 50k and has an HPI check (by the dealer) and FSSH to back up the mileage, yet the leather...

  20. Tyre Wear

    [:@] What do you guys expect mileague wise out of a set of 18" p zero's. I've had to replace my two fronts already ater 7500 miles, and knowing its going to cost me £500 or near enough was an utter shock! Is this common of the leon fr's or is it my driving style or misfortune?
