I have had a good look to see a similar question been asked but i recon my case is different. if i have been driving my lcr more exuberantly than the norm over a period, say round a few twistys then up the slip road and on the motorway, i notice what seems like my clutch slipping. at 3000rpm...

Evening all :) I had my AmD remap done today on my lcr, am very pleased with it, torque is nice at 300ftlb, but the bhp is a little disappointing at only 252bhp. She drives much better on the road which is good, but I've been doing a few logs since and only seen a max of 182.75g's. I was...

Hi all, Ive been looking at a 55 reg Leon FR TDI today and was wondering if you could give me a few pointers. Are these cars reliable and do they suffer from any common faults. The car is priced at 8995 from the most reputable dealer in my county and had fsh and 12 months...

Hello everyone, I've just joined the forum as I'm thinking about buying a Seat Leon Cupra T. The vehicle I'm looking at is an 02 plate with 55k miles on the clock. It has 12 months MOT but has no service history book. The seller (who is a trade seller) says that they have received the...

Hello all, I've decided to make my introduction and enquiry into one thread as i am yet to purchase a leon and have came in hope of some friendly advice. I recently had my first nipper and the 57plate Fiesta i've been running for the last 2 years has to go to make way for a 5door. I've been...

HELP! I know nothing about engines really I think I've got a boost leak, Between 3000-4000 RPM it kind of boosts, then stops... then boosts again, then stops then boosts and then continues without a problem at "What feels like" 3/4 boost. How do you source a boost leak? What pipes could...

Hi guys. Still fairly new here, but I need more power! Currently have a Jabba stage1 remap giving me 196bhp 266lb/tq (supposedly according to graph) with 3" D/pipe, 2.5" exhaust, Forge TIP, Forge recirc, Cone Air filter and now Uni FMIC. Ideally I want as close to 300 as poss. What power can...

Hey, Pulled up yesterday in a car park, put handbrake on and got out etc. Came back and the button had "gone in" the hand brake and it was feeling stiff to move up and down. Eventually, the button did come back out again and all was ok. Very unusual I thought, what is this likely to be...

Basically, 3rd gear keeps making a weird noise, kind of like a whiney - waahing thing. But, it's only doing it when coming down through the gears and slowing down in third. There's no issues whatsoever when accelerating in third. It's been doing it for a while but it's been more noticeable...

Got given an open cone filter today. it was originally for a beetle 2.0l 8v. i asked the guy who gave it me what size opening on it, and he said it was a 70/72ish..so i though hey lets try it in my bay was just curious..although it sounds AMAZING, would any problems arise from an open...

Hello all. I currently own a Mk2 Punto 1.2, but as its a Fiat it's very expensive to keep it running, and i'm forced to sell it. One of my friends owns a Mk2 Ibiza 1litre. I'm positive it isn't stock, as it has different skirts and bumpers, along with cupra alloys. It's been lowered and it's...

Hi there, I'm new to this forum. I test drove a Seat Leon 2.0 TDI FR from a Seat Dealership and was very impressed! I'm looking to change cars next year, currently drive a W reg 1.8 Ford Focus pushing 113k miles. I do about 20k miles per year and want something which I can afford to run, an...

I have an Ibiza Cupra TDi with the following spec: custom code phase 1 remap Full miltek system, green cotton panel filter, sachs clutch. This morning while driving to work I experienced loosing the turbo. Basically I was driving the car up a hill ( was giving it some welly) when I went...

Hi all, I'm currently trying to decide whether or not to buy a Leon Cupra TDi. The guy who's selling it will be trading it in on Tuesday in part-ex for a van. He's been offered 2.5k from the dealer but obviously he'd like a bit more if he can get it. The car is an 04 plate with 123k on the...

I'm considering an ibiza FR as my next car, was originally going to go tdi but with the price of diesel these days, for the miles i do (only 250-300 a week) i don't really need 1. Was just wondering what kind of performance figures the FR is capable of... I read somewhere on here that a...

Im sorely tempted with the Milltek dpf replacement pipe and matching remap - I know it gives 240bhp+++ HOWEVER while the 16v tdi is potentially a 300bhp engine does anyone know the limits of the clutch, gearbox and other associated drivetrain parts? I know of a remapped Cupra which spins up the...

Just back from a quick blast in the LCR today and with the cold temperatures was driving like a rocket - the car is standard bar a green filter and Milltek catback - it got me thinking though, if its this fast just now then it would just be ballistic with a remap[B)] - do you guys feel that the...

Merry Christmas all, Just been looking at the advert Irfan's got for the Black FR Tdi with bluetooth and 18's, 1k miles for £15,995. Just after a few opinions from owners, cheers Tony
