  1. Brake Wear Light on a TDi?

    Hi, I've searched and searched but noone seems to have asked before, only you 'R' owners discussing the sensor accuracy. Anyway, does the 04 Cupra TDi have a brake wear light? Or is it just on the Rs?

    Abnormal brake wear

The car has been to the dealers today for identification of a rumbling noise which at first I had thought to be wheel bearings. I should have noticed this before but anyway the dealer...

    Inner Tyre Wear (fronts)

    I am just about to put F1's on the front to match the backs and I noticed how bad the inner edge has worn when I was doing an oil change. There's about 2mm on the outside edge, so at a glance they look ok. But the inside has worn that low, that there is no tread and you can now see the blue...

    Wear & Tear or Mechanical - PAS

    My power steering seems to be misfunctioning recently, and I think it needs a new steering pump. I've got warranty on the car (not manufacturers), but within the first 3 months, any wear and tear claim is not covered. I was just wondering if you guess that this would be classed as W&T...

    Using engine braking, heavy clutch wear?

    Hi When decelerating, I tend to put it into 2nd or 3rd (say from 60 + odd) and then hold the revs at about 1200 RPM to get the max engine braking possible. My question is, will this wear my clutch out, ie, is it as bad at putting ur foot down on accelerating at very low revvs? I ask...

    My TDI DSG is having it's 40k service and they've called to say that the rear discs and pads have gone and that the fronts are not far off! Is it normal for them to go after 40k and for the rear ones to go first?
