One of the little lights have failed on my 2 month old MK5 Ibiza, Any ideas on how to change it? (its one of the lights in the top brake light above the boot) Book says take it into dealers to change it, but rather not pay them £50 to change a bulb!

Does the Leon FR (57 reg) come with brake pad wear indicators? My car has been to have its 40k service and they have told me the front are 90% worn.

when viewing my car i noticed each disk was scored! not smooth, im buying from ted johnson and they said they are cleaning them up and reckon a stone has got into them at some point! if they are scored, dont they need replacing? they say not!! is this to save money, or are they allowed to sell...

Dear All, I have a Seat XL 170 and there is a sticker on the windows that says that there has to be a brake fluid change at 7000 miles. Is this necessary the car is on a 08 plate and has done 5500 miles? Kinjamin

Hi all. I have an FR TDI Mk1 Leon and just had my break pads replaced. They were well woren and the steering was viberating everytime I breaked. I thought there was a warning light in the dash when pads got excessively worn. I checked the break area while the pads were being changed and noticed...

My cruise control stopped working and when lights were on the brake lights were constantly on also, i changed the brake switch the other day, however the problem persists CAN ANY1 HELP?

I had my first break down last night. I had just pulled onto a dual carriage way and had easily reached 70. I cruised at that speed for a minute or so when suddenly the car lost all power and a yellow light on the right hand side of the dash (engine fault light?) started flashing at me. I...

After 5 months of having my Leon Cupra I have just got round to reading the owners guide properly. I noticed that there is a break wear warning light on the instrument panel. Does anyone know if this is just a gimmick or whether its actually useful? Also if it does work, is it accurate and...

I drive a 57 reg Ibiza, and since last week the break pedal has been hard for the first 10-20 seconds of starting my engine from cold. The pedal cannot be depressed at all for at least 10 seconds, until it gradually softens. This had never occurred before last week, although when I spoke to...

Thanks for taking the time to have a nosey threw my pictures. I got the car in november 06 from former member mchubb, she was exactly what i was looking for. A standard untouched version of the mk3 cupra with only 32k on the clock. Had a Revo stage1 remap installed along with a Miltek cat...

Hi all! I have a Cordoba late -99 (Almost -00) with the "new body". My rear upper breaklight (the leds) fail intermittently. Every now and then they stop working for a few days, and then they come on again. I havent found any wiering diagrams to look for connectors and stuff. Anyone...

As i'm 90% sure my MAF is playing up i need to get it replaced under its VW warranty, problem is they'll only replace it when its completely screwed and throws up a code. That would be fine under normal circumstances, i'd just drive it until it dies but on this occasion i'm reluctant to do that...
