cold

Hi guys, I am looking at putting a K&N 69-9756TFK Typhoon Intake system into my Seat Leon Mk2 2011 2.0l TDI, but not sure if this will be worth it or whether there are any cheaper / better options to go with. Any ideas? Just had a stage 1 remap to 185bhp - 393nm torque as well.

Hi, My '08 reg Seat Ibiza regularly fails to start - the ignition cranks, but it fails to start running. Sometimes, if I'm lucky, I can manage to get the engine to start by pressing down on the accelerator whilst turning over - but usually it'll take me several attempts, and most of the time I...

Hi, I've a couple of questions, I'm sure they are common faults, but I'm new to the Cupra/1.8T lump. It is really not happy from cold, starts fine and revs up ok, but try to engage some sort of forward momentum and it just bogs down when the clutch is released, give it a bit of just keep...

Like alot of people on here I have a problem with my Leon Cupra when starting it from cold. It will stutter quite badly for the firtst couple of minutes and feel as if it is going to stall. It seems that some people put up with this issue and other people have cured it by doing a variety of...

I'm a little confused over this, I was looking at this as a first mod, some recommend a CAI Kit & some seem wary re fuel & DPF issues, plus loads to choose from: 1. Pipercross Viper 2. K & N Typhoon 3. BRC 4. Greens 5. Powertech etc Can anyone offer advice. Cheers Paul

I decided to spend a few bucks... Which one do you guys recommend ? God Bless

hi all i started my car at work and its shaking the engine realy bad on idle wen cold... i have to keep the revs up to keep this away. i took the car for a wee drive and u can here the turbo but there no power at all :S but no smoke from the car what so ever ? im realy confused and a bit...

i've had a few occurances of the RNS310 going blank and the sound dropping off for a few (maybe 5) seconds when the outside temperature is below 4 degrees, its always first thing in the morning and it happens 2 maybe 3 times and is then fine for the rest of the day. its never happened when...

Hi folks need help and advise as this is really peeing me off I know ibizas are not the best made cars but im having real problems finding this fault on my 130bhp Ibiza sport Basically when the cars cold there a rattle which seems to be coming behind the dash board (engine maybe) every...

Hi I appear to have 2 issues with my LC 180 on AUQ engine code. I have noticed recently that sometimes, it is not getting up to normal operating engine temperature. It normally shows 90 on the temp guage approx half way, however sometimes its showing only a quarter way up the gauge even...

2002 IBIZA 130 TDI SPORT the car runs very lumpy when cold. The engine wobbles like its misfiring. When it gets to running temp it runs smooth. Had it checked out and it’s coming up with nothing. Everything is working fine. No codes at all. ANY IDEAS?

Can't put any pics up as my laptop has been stolen but fitted a rather smart double 3" cold air feed today....got a nice 3" flexi hose from work and a cold air intake to replace oem intake and battery relocation brackets. Have moved battery across and then put a nice feed to the right hand fog...

Anyone out there using a Cold Air feed? Other than the standard. When I had my car modified they kept hold of the Airbox and Intake otherwise I would of used the standard air intake and ran some ducting to the airbox. Basically I run the Aero front bumper, However I imagine this issue will...

I fitted my induction kit a few weeks ago, but being in a rush, never put the cold air feed in. I was playing around with it last night, trying to decide where to put it... does anyone have any recommendations/pics? ive seen it going to the foglight which would be ideal, but from reading...

Morning, I have a 2007 reg ibiza fr tdi. Recently when the weather has been extremely cold the car seems to take longer to turn over to start. Is this just teh case that in the minus temperatures the diesel is getting thicker or do i need to get this looked into. When I say turn over I...

Hey guys i was out in my car earlyer (pd150 leon) and when i started it up after about 5 mins it started to make a tapping noise then when it got warm it stopped. Any ideas on what it is?

I understand that cold weather normally affects the performance and economy of most, if not all, diesel engines. I've noticed in my SC 1.6TDi I get 52MPG when it's a warm day (7oC I class as warm at the moment!), and I get around 46-47MPG when it's cold (-0.5 --> 0.5 like today). :blink: Is...

Recently my v5 170 (02MY, 103k miles) has refused to start from cold unless I give it some throttle. Performance seems the same as ever and overall MGP remains constant at 31-32 so I'm figuring its just a cold start fault rather than something more serious. I've sprayed the plugs/caps with WD40...

I have a 2001 Cupra 1.8 turbo 20v In the morning on cold starts it idles fine but if I move within 20 seconds the revs start to flucuates if it wants to stall. If i turn off the igniton and restart it, it's fine. If i sit and lightly rev in for 30 seconds it is also fine. When going along, in...

ive seen on a few cars that they have cut a hole out of the bumper and put an anodised ring there with a pipe to the filter/box. I would like to do the same on mine, holesaw the bumper before it gets painted and fit the ring and pipe. Can this be done on the mk2 and if so where can i get...
