early

Hello, i have an 02 leon cupra, it has had a remap a couple of years ago, just recently i have noticed that its not quite right. It is fine up to about 4.5 revs then the power just drops, the max speed i can get out of the car is about 118mph! I have had a lot more out of it than that. I have...

Hi Guys, i've had my Leon Cupra for a few months now and generally i'm really happy with it. It does however give me a few problems when starting up in the cold weather. It always needs heaps of revs to get it going which i don't like doing with the oil cold (someone told me it's not good for...

Car missfired on the way home today for a minute or so and then started driving fine again, plugged it into VAG-COM when i got home and came up with 'cylinder 2 missfire'. Would it be a good idea to change out the coilpack and plugs now before it puts strain on the other coilpacks or should i...

Sad news, Clyde Valley Racing have withdrawn from the BTCC. However, Cartridge World are aiming to run Adam Jones to the end of the season independantly from CVR. I'm sure this will get around pretty quickly, this is the quote I received via the Cartridge World Carbon Zero Racing group on...

Hi All Hope you're well and those of you regulars to the BTCC event are enjoying your rest! I've now confirmed parking passes (which I understand will be required this year) between the Esses and Bomb Hole for those of you interested!:D Open to all (preference is given to YRC members...

changed one bout a month ago and ive just started geting the same symptoms again unplugged them lastnite and they all woked fine but will this method work if one has only just started to go should i drive it more to see if the coilpack gets worse then unplug again when one mite b totally...

This will sound weird but please bear with me.... I leave for my work at 7.30am every morning. When i start the car and engage a gear it seems almost like i dont have a clutch. By saying this i mean i bring the clutch up and it doesn't seem to have a biting point . Has anyone came across this...

Will the side skirt for the facelifted 6K (00-02) fit early models (93-99)?

I think my DV might be blowing a bit early....i've just removed the casing to my dynatwist so I can hear more whats going on, and when I rev it a bit (3k) and let go I can hear it dumping. Is it supposed to do it around that time or could it be the N75 being up the duff?

I have been running my company Leon Cupra 150 Tdi for over 3.5 years now and it has 130000 miles on the clock. May opt out of the car scheme, as company no longer offer Seats, and VW and Audi are overprice equivalents that I will pay more tax on. Does anyone have an idea on what my car...

I have a LCR with a few suspension mods: front & rear Eibach anti-roll bars, Koni FSD dampers and Eagle F1 tyres all round. The car grips phenomenaly well compared to standard - minimal bodyroll and very little understeer. However, the ESP is kicking in far too early! On a spirited drive...

Was there an early release of the leon called 'Sport' of something in this country, it had a 1.8 20vt unit but wasnt called a cupra, obviously when the car wore the multi spoke wheels it was called a cupra, but im sure there was one slightly earlier with different wheels, or is that a 1.8 20v...

as i am looking at getting an early Leon (2001 - 2002) is it alot of car for your money? I reckon so :D can't think of many other cars as solid as the 1.8T, 5 doors, lots of toys and also with a few nice mods (just wheels and suspension) it can look a really great car opinions...

Can anyone tell me the width of the 16" multi spoke wheels fitted as standard to early Leon Cupras? Also what is the correct original tyre size, 225/50R16? I've just bought a Mk4 Golf which has standard 16" x 6.5" BBS wheels with 205 width tyres. It does not have the same grip as my old...

I mentioned to my brother i'd like one of these for Christmas, and said no more. He's just dropped it off :clap: All i've got to do is fit it, not doing it tonight, its brass monkeys out there. I'm guessing it's as easy as it says, but the nut thread thing in the middle - do you just...

on an early 03 lcr, can the traction control be manually turned on and off from inside the cabin?

Was out and about at 6 o clock ish this morning. 15 degrees on the temp display and the R was flying! :scary: Only had it 3 weeks and it's been warm as fook ever since, amazing what a nice bit of cold dense air can do... Bit random but, just thought I'd share! :think:

last week i changed my front discs and pads to black diamond pads + drilled and grooved discs. the brakes are now very very good but just 1 problem with them the ABS seems to cut in far too early. Has anybody else had this problem and can fix it or change when the ABS cuts in somehow?

If so, how did it go? I assume that you have to settle all the finance before you can sell the car? This would obviously cause a bit of a cash flow issue, are you able to pay it off with a Credit Card?

Quick techie question. I've been told that it isn't possible to fit an aftermarket Mk3 Ibiza front ARB to my 1994 8v GTi as the bar interferes with the lambda sensor on the exhaust. I'm sure that I've heard people have got this setup. Has anyone got this sort of setup and if so, how did...
