Dear All, I went to view a 1.6 Leon which has 48K on the clock and full Seat Service History from a Seat Dealer today. Everything looked fine untill I looked at the oil cap which had quite a bit of White stuff and also at the top of the oil cap neck on the engine side. Does this mean a...

Hi guy's, Hoping someone can help me here. I have bought a 2nd hand engine for my cordoba which has 65k on the clock, my existing one has 94k on the clock, and was wondering if i can get the clock reset to show the mileage of the new engine i have bought? Thanks in advance RedRunner

Hello All. After some urgent advice. I was looking at a 2nd hand Bluefin from an Audi a4. It has been reset by Superchips and is fine from that point. However when i spoke to Superchips they say that the device may not work with the new facelift Common Rail Diesel engine? Does anyone know if...

Been doing a bit of digging on this one and think I'm close to the problem so will keep it brief: In-gear acceleration in 2nd from the bottom of the torque band (2100rpm) to maximum boost and about 4500rpm - I lift off the throttle sharply but the car continues to accelerate, the turbo...

hi all, ive just bought another mk1 cupra last week to replace my ovni yellow one which i sold to my mum and dad, i wanted another as they are great cars in my opinion and much better than a mk4 golf. I was hunting for one frantically for a couple of weeks and it was actually my mum who found my...

Been quoted £157 + £35 for the brake fluid change. What do they change in the service and is that a good price. 1st service was about £90 so don't see where the extra £67 is going!!?!?!:confused: Do they need to take the wheels off to do the fluid.... and how could I tell if it even gets done??

just a quickie. I never really noticed it before (saying that its rare that i floor it in 1st gear) but when changing from 1st to 2nd at around 4-5k revs i get a huge amount of turbo lag im talking what feels like an eternity until the turbo kicks in again in 2nd gear. In reality its more...

Broke my 1st n 2nd gear after reversing to park up. Ive read up on this as being a rivet on the selector fork. I know the work involved as im an ex mechanic and was wondering if there was anyone willing to take on the job of fixing it for a reasonable price? Gutted only bought the car...

When changing from 1st to 2nd i get a big chunch and it wont go in, this only happens at high revs or going over 25mph, if i change down a gear over 25mph it will still chunch and only go in under 25mph. changing from 1st to 2nd at low revs or under 25 it will change perfect with no chunch same...

Hi folks, I'm havin' a MILLTEK TBE fitted next week and wondered if I should be keeping the old system to sell on?? I'm reckoning K1 owners won't be needin' parts for their systems for 4 years or more.. Is this system worth anything? 11 months old car 8000m covered Respect
