weird

Ive never really had to touch coolant system in any of my cars but is this normal?. I posted a question about coolant the other day because my light was flashing and bleeping and when i checked the level it was a fraction below the minimum so i added a drop to make it just above the min level...

Right then... Has new EBC disks and DS2500 pads the other week, and have done about 1000 miles since which has now bedded them in fine... but....i had the brake fluid changed as well and i have a weird issue.. when i brake now the pedal goes down quite a bit and it doesn't seem to brake...

My Leon doesn't have a cover for the diagnostic port,should it have one?

I have an interesting problem, I wonder if anyone has experienced the same. As I mentioned in a previous thread, the orange light in my ibizia diesel only comes on sometimes obviously meaning the car doesn't start without it... However I have just discovered that if I open the drivers door...

Since ive had my car re-mapped, there seems to be a weird issue around 5,000rpm where the boost seems to go down then when it hits 5500rpm it goes back up. Anyone else had this before? Its almost like turbo lag at 5000rpm. Very odd.

Hi all – I’ve just got my LC back from the garage and it’s developed a rather nasty fault: the all the gauges (speedo, rev temp and fuel) aren’t working and neither are the headlights. The weird thing is that everything else is working fine: indicators, main beam flash etc. It’s obviously...

when i'm slowing down and about to stop my a.b.s has been cutting in for some reason? only does it at low speeds, and only happens somtimes? but its happening more than it should for no reason, even in the dry?!? also the light sometimes stays on for 5 mins or so for no reason? i think it...

Does anybody know how to undo that weird screw that holds the panel between the rear lights on??? :blink:

Last week or week before i did the N249 bypass.... now then as far as i can tell, i have checked all the pipes are in and there are no boost leaks at all... the DV (forge 007) now sounds different....almost a flutter......when you lift on.....rather than the nice kinda darth vader...

Strange leak I am getting at the bottom of the drivers door. Its not much but it seems to be coming over the top of the seal as if the door is not shutting tightly enough. I think someone may have looked at it before as there are 2 screws missing at the bottom of the drivers door card, will...

Anyone know if Brembo's from a Fiat 20vT will fit a Cupra? Has anyone done it?

I washed my car yesterday.. took about two hours to do it in some degree of detail. When I came to rinse it off I noticed I had the odd spec of black tar/paint/wtf on it. It wouldn't budge with a sponge and sure as hell wouldn't move after a blast with the pressure washer. I used a finger...

i did a search and didnt really find much, but way back in 2004 'sooty-torques' posted about a swooshing noise when the key is turned, stated as fuel being pumped by an electric pump....? is this normal? the noise sounds like when you have water in your foot and it squelches

Right, I was just nipping out for some lunch and on the way back I was sitting at the traffic lights on a dual carriageway and I pulled away pretty hard (nothing to do with the crappy focus that wanted to race me). I got through first gear and in second I got to 4000rpm and then no more. It...

Ok so I've had my '05 LCR for about a week and a half and I've noticed a couple of things. There's a rattle/vibration coming from the centre console (it stops if I press and hold the CD player). Also, when I'm reversing and turning I get a really loud creaking noise... can't tell exactly where...

Ive only had this Cupra for about 2 weeks but I had my previous one for a year so know how a standard one drives. When I bought the new one it seemed faster than my previous one but I put it down to me having not driven my other one for ages. I noticed while driving the turbo kicks in...

Hopefully someone can reassure me that my turbo isnt about to die:( If i'm in 1st or 2nd gear and accelerate gently (just driving normally) I can hear the turbo sucking (have induction kit). As it reaches around 2k rpm, the turbo feels like it dies, I hear the pressure dump and the car...

......when I see another LC or LCR on the road... I get Happy :shrug:

Hi, I'm posting this on behalf of one of my colleagues at work (an ex-VAG technician) who owns an Audi 80 on an L-Plate, it’s a 1.9TDi (1Z Engine Code). It currently has a fault where when you press the accelerator fully, it has no effect on the engine until approx 3-4 secs later when it...

Does anyone else have their cupra marked down as a 5 door on the V5??
