wheel

Hi all, If any of you have been following my camshaft/timing issue thread, you'll know I had also got a knocking noise which apparently turned out to be a loose hub nut (the big ass nut holding the hub on as far as I'm aware). Anyway, this was tightened up and all ok.... However, last...

Only really noticed it over xmas and new year and now with the snow. When my wheels wheel spin on ice or snow it makes a grinding noise. Is this the traction control kicking in or is it something more serious?

Finding it awkward as you have the small and large sections also the grooves, anyone found their favourite?

As many will know I run my Mk2 Leon Cupra with 19" BBS rims. But I have had my OEM 18" SEAT alloys refurbished this week for a few reasons, which I'll list for the sake of it. :) 1. I didn't like the standard colour that much 2. I'm doing a track day soon and wanted to run it on 18's and on...

I have an 07reg leon with only 40k miles on the clock, i had very worn tyres on the car which was making a wheel bearing noise when driving, I have just renewed all 4 corners for some vredesteins and altho the noise is drastically reduced there is still a bearing noise! will the wheel bearings...

i have found my self a cupra r 225 steering wheel, which is quite worn - has anyone every had a steering wheel refurbished / leather replaced? how much does it cost? also has anyone ever removed / replaced the badge at the bottom of the wheel? cheers chris

Hi my 06 fr tdi needs a front bearing but does a new one come complete with a hub or is it a bearing on it's own. Also how big a job would this be. Thanks in advance

Looking for a set of spare wheels for my 03 LC. What other, if any, wheels from other cars fit. I thought i had a set the weekend from a mates Scoobie but didnt fit...............

My wheel met a kerb for the first time the other day after a ****** in a Range Rover thought it would be funny to test my patience... Anyways, theres a scuff around the rim about 6 inches long, and a scuff on the spoke itself... and with them been glossy black alloys, the bright silver scuffs...

Guys, I'm not one for racing but since the weather has been relatively dry and I've only had my Cupra 1.5 months, I thought I'd take the opportunity to put my foot down to enjoy the acceleration. Usually I wait until i'm in second gear until I put my foot down, but obviousy wantin to feel...

Hi, I was cleaning my car this weekend (first time since before Xmas as I haven’t seen the point to doing it with all the salt and grit on the roads) when I came to clean the alloys. At this point I noticed something that has got me seriously worried! Whilst the alloys and discs look fine...

hello folks can anyone advise if the mk5 has a multi function steering wheel ? is it an option ?

fitted my 18's today looks good if you ask me, shame they make the wheel bearing noise intolerable so its back to the original 16's as the starfish rims are to go drives very nicely on them tho gonna have to do the bearings i guess, there was noise before on the 17's but nothing like now...

I have a problem with my Leon Cupra 2007. During a drive steering wheel controls & lights and also horn stopped working. Clearly the all contacts to steering wheel are down somewhere, excluding the airbag. It would be nice to get them back, I cant pass an inspection without the horn. Its been a...
