Hi everyone, Hope your easter has been good. Wondering if I could get some advice. For the past month or so there's been a sort of whining-mixed-with-rumbling noise coming from the front end of my car. I guess the best way to describe it would be like when you ride a mountain bike/BMX with...

Im due to pick my ibiza cupra up in a few days, I was looking forward to it, but now im a little bit aprehensive, Ive read about the few problems that they have, pedal box, fuse box etc, Ive since spoken to a VAG specialist (Midlands VW) and he said "pedal boxes fail due to the clutches...

hi Last night had a little RR evening at local place in Slough called Novatech. The results seemed reasonable accurate as a few cars that had been RR'd before produced very similar results. Just wondering why i would be down on standard figures by so much( 15hp and 30 ft/lb down) ? And...

Yet again - my car didn't feel as if it were attracting enough attention to itself maybe?... Soo - this is my latest distruption, the rocker cover? at the bottom, between the cylinder block and the gasket rubber seal seems to be leaking a little? There's clear staining of oil seeping through...

Hi All, I've ordered a new Cupra - due in October. I can't believe I've ordered a car without test driving it first but I was just so keen to get the new Cupra when it came out. Having now read loads of reviews, a lot of them seem to be saying the same thing i.e. the DSG system isn't...

When fitting my Forge FMIC to my 2003 LCR 75,000 miles there was what could only be described as a large amount of oil in the passagers side SMIC ie the one before the turbo. I think there was somewhere between 150 and 200 mls of oil in there. The inside of the hoses were all well coated with...

Ibiza wouldn't start so I checked the plugs and the number 2 was dripping in oil??
