Robo's Mk4 Ibiza FR TDI PD130 * Jabbasport

[J20ROBO]

All began with the sale of my Audi.

Following the sale of my Audi. I purchased my SEAT IBIZA FR TDI PD130
(Pics as when I bought it)

Spec at time totally standard, exactly as it left the factory,
So was a blank canvas...

Only problem a had at time of purchase was the load signal cable fir the TC snapping off.
This caused the TC light to appear after approx 10mins of driving.
Common fault ave found out on Mk4 Ibiza and VRS Skodas .(pic below)

Took less than 10mins to fix.

Next issue to resolve were the brakes or lack of brakes
So new discs and pads all round

Looking great, how does it compare to the A4?

Its more sporty than A4 is the best way of putting it. A4 was more a big cruiser. Alot more road noise also ride is alot mare harsh on the Ibiza when compared to the A4.

Can't beat a bit of (comparitive) weight loss
The mods so far are nice, great ways to perk up the performance from an already great engine.

Any more plans for the Ibiza?

Just less than the quoted Jabbasport price £295... Money well spent tho it has to be said. Highly Recommend you get it done if you not already done so, guys at GI Motorsport in Killie are Top Class and know there stuff.

good thing you did'nt tbh, was a bit of a lemon. Turbo sounded too loud for to be normal and the dash rattled like hell along with clunking from the front of the car. Smart repair would have been done on the back bumper as well as the guy who was taking it off the ramp for me never folded down the ramp extensions and reversed into them gouging the bumper ha ha.
