need a manual for a seat ibiza gti cupra 2L 1998

[sadben]

Need to pull my engine apart . I think the piston hit my spark plug .

 

[projectgingawar]

How the hell?

If it hit the spark plug, chances are it collected a few valves on it's way too.

 

[sadben]

Havent pulled the head off yet, just the rocker cover , valves, cam shafts look good .

It depends what you need the manual for, if it's engine issues then the Golf / Audi manuals might be able to help as the same engine. For all other bits you tried haynes?

hi, the manual is for the general up keep of my car-brakes, tracking lights etc... crazy when you are trying to find out why your tracking light is statying on constantly,. could do with a manual like. But thankyou for your suggestions. Tamsyn

Haynes manual is the one you want.

What's a tracking light?

sorry i meant the TCS light. Cannot find a haynes manual for it anywhere.

Have a look on the forum mate, however your best bet is to use VAG-COM to scan your car or get someone to do it for you

I use the ibiza/cordoba haynes manual for general pieces. It is mainly 1.4 and 1.9 diesel based but has references to ABF engine on most areas (locations and differences). It is listed as covering all the ibiza engines in the front, just not very well.

As for 02 cupra, dont do a haynes that ive seen...yet

you are correct they don't do one and never will!

 

[Fl@pper]

use the haynes, majority of it is similar to an 8v as the cams are joined by a chain at the back which has marks on cam to line em up anyway

give the cam sprocket a paint mark on outside - they are pegged both sides for timing with/without cover on and made me jump at first remembering which way round it went - lol

TCS sensor, without looking I can tell you what it will say for that one, along the lines of 'take it to a specialist garage with fault diagnostic equipment'

Haynes are rubbish for anything fault code related, they seem to ignore that you can buy cheap readers making it a diy possible job

This link may help, mentions a fuse.

Can I remove the sump of my Seat GTI Cupra 1998 model (16 valve) without taking the engine or the gearbox out? It looks like I can get to every screw except for 3 which are hidden behind what appears to be a support bracket for the gearbox. Has anybody attempted this before?
