weird

20mins after I went a 20 mile drive tonight I went out the back of my house to find that there was a high pitched beeping noise coming from the engine bay which would come on for about 2secs every appx 19secs, this went on for a further 15mins! i would normally think this was something to do...

I have a 2000 Seat Ibiza TDI (90hp) i have started gettin a problem when accelerating once the car gets to about 2500rpm there is a really noticeable dip in power for few seconds then all of a sudden it all comes back again, this has really baffled me and was wondering if this is common or if...

First of all, happy new year everyone ;) My car seems to have developed a strange problem... Basically, when I switch the ignition on - 70% of the time I’m hearing a clicking sound. The same sound then reoccurs randomly when driving. I couldn't work out what it was to begin with, but...

Right then... this morning the weirdest and strangest thing happened!!! Started the car, took the missus to work, drove to my work..... got to my work and was just about to turn off the ignition when the interior light came on without me opening the door!!!! Then the central locking...

Here's a strange one for you. Last night it was my turn to collect a couple of friends and drive to a friends house for a couple of pre pub drinkies. I drove the 3 miles to the first pickup, parked the car locked it and did what I had to do. The car was parked for 10-15 minutes and the car...

Today I removed my boost gauge from the A pillar to a universal pod next the the pillar. Basicaly what happens is when i rev the car the light on the boost gauge flickers a small bit and also the headlights get brighter when i rev, all since i moved the gauge. The light in the gauge is wired...

I've been away for the weekend and my father changed the engine oil without changing the oil filter and drove around about 17km using the new oil and the old oil filter. So i've just bought a new one (oil filter) and i don't know what to do. He used Mobil 1, 10W-40 ( 505.00 ) for my 81KW Leon...

Today I was taking the spare wheel out and noticed a small black clip type thing at the bottom of the area where the spare is kept. I pulled it out and now i have a small whole in the bottom and you can see the ground through it. What is the small black bit for. It also had a metal nut with...

Just recently (maybe related to the hot weather?) although not every time, when I start up my Leon TDI 110 (02 plate - 49k, quite recently dealer serviced) the idle will sometimes rise to a steady 1100 rpm approx where it will sit for anything up to about 30-40 seconds, then return to it's usual...

Ok so basically I was coming out of a parking and there where some really ugly vibrators at the exit, the car ( Cupra R 2005 model only has 3.000km) vibrated kinda violent due to the hard suspension....Soon after, this noise started whenever I accelerate or brake hard.... it sounds like 'clack '...
