cold

I have an X reg 1.9S TDI. I noticed after being in traffic jam the other day for an hour or so that when I put the cold blower on it was blowing hot air. The engine temp gauge was only showing half way. Was told by a friend that it could be the thermostat. At the same time i found it hard...

Had a searched and found a couple of relevent threads but nothing with a conclusive "fix". So my 2002 V5 has a little trouble starting now the weather is getting cooler. I need to give a little throttle on cold morning to stop the engine dying straight away. VAG-COM shows no faults. Is...

hi all, My leon turbo has started to struggle slightly when cold, when i start it up on a morning it will sound almost as if its only firing on 3 cylinders, and when i pull away it hesistates and runs terrible, it will only last maybe 30 seconds until the engine has run. I have a boost...

I am having a bit of an annoying problem with my 07 FR. When I start up the engine in the morning from cold it takes quite a lot of effort to turn over. Once its started its ok starting up for the rest of the day, I just don't know whether I should take it in as there are only six months left on...

I bought a Turbosmart Dual Port last week and it comes with a cold side relocation kit for a mk4 golf Does anyone know if this will fit mine?? Not too bothered if it doesnt as i ony paid £75 for the valve and the relocation kit so got a bargain there i think! Cheers

I've trawled through a few forums within the past week searching for a solution to the rather odd fault on my 2004 leon tdi cupra 150 with the arl lump fitted but i am unable to yield any information. The fault started when i returned to the car after work on monday and it started for a...

Hello Seat owning friends.... I am currently having trouble with rough cold starts on my 2003 1.9TDi 110 Toledo (97k miles) Last 2 years it sounded a little struggling to start in very cold weather, but never any major problems. Every time I have had the car in for a service or work I...

Right guys,i've searched this place for info on adding a cold air feed to LC 180 20VT's,all that comes up is info for the LCR boys and links that have either died or photo's have gone.Surely a LC owner has done this mod,i looked in the engine bay and there's no way on earth,an 80mm feed pipe can...

Hi all, in desperate need of help. I have removed the two plastic covers from above the back of the headlamp that direct air to a corner piece that goes around the battery. This corner piece then connects to a plastic hose that directs air to the air filter. I cannot get this damn corner...

When I first start the engine from cold, theres a slight clunking noise as the engines idling. It stops when I put the clutch in so im thinking its gearbox related. Anyone experienced this? Cars still under warranty but only happens when cold so by the time I got to the garage (60 miles away)...

Any ideas on the above? Done loads of searching, run a VAGCOM search on the car (cleared a low temp sensor fault which has not returned). The stutter is only present when cold, within 2 mins its gone. It doesn't seem to be present at any other time :blink: I've only had the car a few...

Hi guys, Next week, I'm fiiiinally getting a new pannel filter, and think from what I've read from JamJays thread on cold air feeds, I should run a cold air feed. I have found some on the interweb, and don; know which to go for, so some opinions please. I'm definatly going for a Green panel...

Hello all. The AMD RR day is approaching in just over a month so I want to get some testing done with different methods of increasing the airflow/decreasing air temps into the turbo. 1st up, air ducting for the Neuspeed seeing as it's already on there. So can anyone tell me what the maximum...

my seat leon 20v turbo when starting from cold it miss fires any ideas guys?

I bought my cupra a few days ago and i have not had anything turbo before so was not knowing what to expect. anyway once the car is warmed up at around 90C its fine in the lower revs its a tiny little bit jerky before boost and as it comes onto boost but its hardly noticable at all. As soon...

Anyone got the squeling noise when cold? i thought it was coming from the fan belt but seems to be coming from the timing belt? any ideas anyone? thanks

Right guys, I need to know the best way to mount and get a cold air feed to my jetex filter in my LCR? Can I see your ideas and ways? I was thinking of getting a enclosed one like the forge one, but I don't think the feed is worth it. The set up on the LCR's I think starves the engine abit, as...

hi, i have a 2001 leon cupra, it has developed a missfire on cold start up, after 2-3 mins running it runs ok without a missfire, just fitted new platinum plugs yesterday and no improvement. any ideas?

hi can anyone give there advise. every time i start my cordoba 16v from cold there is a tapping/clicking sound coming from the rocker cover. doesn't affect starting drivability etc its just annoying. cheers
