worn

Hi all, this sounds like a worn bush to me but i'll pick your brains anyway. When driving over uneven road, I get this knocking sound from the N/S/F suspension as the car rumbles over it. The sound is as rapid as the car goes over the knobbles in the road. I am ruling out the shock absorber...

Hey, My brake pads are worn on my Cupra R 2003 so Im going to buy pads myself and then get someone to fit them (well thats the plan). Last time I did this, I was told I had to goto a main dealer because they were the only ones that had the tools to fit the pads to the Brembo's... Is this...

My FR TDi 06 plate has just passed the 70,000 mile mark and is due a service asap. However i wanted to get some advice to hopefully point the service fellas in the possible right direction. Firstly the car has felt like it is pulling to the left, it always feels like im just slightly steering...

I know I'm not the only one with this problem. I'm sure that I read on here somewhere that LCR steering wheels and gear knobs are actually trimmed in red leather and are painted/dyed/whatever in black. Are paints available and has anyone tried them?

Anyone else have this? red showing through. Anybody tackled this in anyway?

tonight as i was coming upto a roundabout that seemed to be clear i carried on driving forwards onto the roundabout, then some tool decided to cut me up halfway round[:@], i slammed the anchors on but then they didnt seem to lock up aswell as normal and there was alot of squealing, from this...

Sorry I know this has been discussed before, but searching didn't really reveal the info I was after! I've noticed that the gap between the top mount cap, and the metal of the car seems to be bigger than I remember (offside in particular), and there is an uneven gap left to right. I was...

Hi Is there any "danger" of driving around with a open leak from the pipe that goes from the left side of the inlet manifold and to the N249 valve? Nearly got to work and the car started to drive odd. Vagcom said mechanical failure of the N249, opened bonnet and the silicon hose on the...

Hi All, Just got a couple of issues with the Beeza. 1st problem, When braking at low speeds (under 15mph) i get a droning noise which sounds the same as a bus coming to a stop! This is an intermitant problem which only seems to happen after a half hour drive. Front & rear discs & pads are...

2006 Leon FR Tdi was in for it's 40k service today. I'd asked them to look at a problem where the car seems to judder sometimes when stationary. Anyway, they phoned me up and said it's the flywheel that has worn "not how it should" and needs replacing (luckily under warranty) however should...

I've got a LCR and went to Snetterton on a trackday on Monday. I did a few slow laps to warm everything up and then when braking from 120 on the main straight for the first time I got some brake fade once I got below 80 which I wasn't expecting as I wasn't pushing it very hard before. Then when...

My gear knob (when bought from dealer) was all worn and I asked the dealers to look at this, but they did a very poor job and it looks like a 5 year old kid has touched it up with a purple marker pen. Am i right in saying i will not be able to get this replaced under warranty now, because the...

As the title says the inner pads are almoist worn down and the outer ones still have plenty of wear on the front of my toledo. The disks are ATE power disks and the pads are greenstuff. It could be a sticking slider mechanism but is it possible its something else like a master cylinder? It...

Fitted me BF Turbo back last night, whilst i had the down pipe off i had the usual look about, the turbo seemed to be slightly worn, bit of play in it, think it could do with being replaced or recon, :doh: does anyone know what other turbos fit without any probs? Does a TD04 fit?:redface...
