5th

Basically my car has never really felt right since being into seat but its been on the rollers at ptorque again and actually made 5bhp more than it did before it went into seat but i have noticed recently that in 5th gear @ 1250-1500 revs (roughly 40mph) if i let off and press the accelorator...

So.. my friend got the new Cupra R 2009 6 gear transmission. The car is great overall but there is this ( maybe ) problem. when travelling on low speeds and low revs, if 5th gear is engaged, it lets go, and goes back to neutral by itself, First i thought that it is a sign that i should go to a...

Hi everyone, I wondered if there is anyone who can help me out with any ideas or feedback as to what is wrong with my car as the SEAT Mechanic doesn't seem to know himself.. Basically the problem arose a short while back but has got progressively worse. When i pull away the car is fine...

Hi all I can get 2nd 4th and 6th gears but I can't get 1st 3rd and 5th :( Any ideas what is causing this? Thanks

Can anyone shed any light on this problem. Whilst exiting the motorway yesterday I tried to downshift from 6th to 5th but I couldnt get it into 5th. There was just to much resistance to get it in. I tried depressing the clutch but no luck. I went into 4th then upto 5th and it goes as normal...

Hi Guys i know i put a thread on here a day or so ago saying i cannot afford coilovers yet and i was then asking about springs but seems i got paid loads this month so.... called AMD (essex) and they have it booked in for thursday the 5th nov for AP coilovers - i will put some pics of it...

Hi guys, My car is a 54reg and has done about 35k, but now all of a sudden it won't start. What I mean by this is that I put the keys in the ignition, turn then all you get is the car trying to start but failing. This happens every 4th or 5th time I start the engine. I thought it was the...

Quick question, had the car now for 4 months and on a couple of occasions, struggled to get it into 5th gear, put it back to 4th then ok next time I tried it. Any ideas or is it just me being paranoid. Car is FR TDi 2006 4500miles on clock.

Not really a serious post. 3rd gear is great off large roundabouts to 85mph 4th is great for joining motorwarys (up to 100mph +) 6th is great for commuting cruising from 40mph to what ever speed When do i use 5th gear on the road? :p

Hello every1, Right long story short, my car goes into limp mode in 5th gear...50/60mph...foot down...5-10 seconds later boosts drops to 5psi, turn car off then back on it boost fine again. N75? what should i be expecting to see at full boost with my spec? only just...

I'm sorry to post yet another boost thread but here I go anyway because mine is a bit strange :) Basically when I plant it in 5th gear my boost often takes a couple of seconds to settle and bounces around a little. ie it normally will spike at 21 psi, fall to 17 then settle at about 19-20...

I'm going along on Sat 4th if its not raining. Is anyone else going to Ultimate Street Car? It'd be cool to see, and maybe race, some other mk3's up there ;) Jim

Had a weird problem today...was driving along on the motorway put it into 5th quite early (2k revs) and around 2.5k the car started to hold back, as in power, hold back, power hold back etc. And then after 3k it seemed ok? I thought maybe MAF or Coil pack or Sparks? But then was confused by...
