day

Hi folk I've been using a microCAN lead with VCDS/VAGCOM to set up my Skoda Octavia mark 2 for various things, including drive away locking, Scandanavian day running lights etc, and I was wondering if there is the same provision in the Leon mark 1? I know I'm going to have to get hold of a...

I'm picking up a set of Seat Sport OZ Super T's over the weekend (Cupra R wheels) which I intend to use purely as track wheels. Question is, which tyres do I go for purely for track use? With a 205/45/16 tyre, I've read that the Toyo R888s aren't a wise move as they're only available in...

Today is a very sad day for me. After only a year of ownership my Cupra is off to a new home :( It has been by far the best car i've owned, and thankfully its off to a fantastic new home with someone i know will look after it. wOULD RECCOMEND A cupra to anyone and will most definitely own...

Just gave the Arosa it's yearly service and at last had time to fix the door checkstrap mounting on the A post. No more clonking when opening the door, marvellous. I've taken some photos and may do a " How Too" later if anyone is interested.

Well with all the threads on here about dpf's and limp modes and all the other faults. I thought I would post up and say that my FR is running like a dream and has no faults or issues. My wing has been repaired and it looks like new. Fuel consumption is good. No funny noises. Everything works as...

Right, bought my 51 plate Cupra about 2 weeks ago and yesterday was the first properly rainy day since then. Problem is that when I got home last night and parked up (with water in the car on the floor front and back by the passenger side doors) the alarm kept going off randomly. In the end I...

My 2.0 tdi makes a fairly loud tapping and hissing noise when the engine gets up to temperature on a very hot day such as today. Normally this happens when outside temperatures are high twentys. It sounds like this noise comes from underneath the engine and can be best heard from the side of...

I have an LCR with ds2500 pads and grooved discs. On its debut track day at Snetterton last friday, the car was amazing and keeping up with cars far superior to it; however, my shiney red front brembos have turned brown! I know this is due to the heat, but wondering if anyone knows if it will...

Hi everyone:) I've been thinking lately about whether or not I should get some day time running lights fitted to my car. Has anyone on here who has already done it and where do you guys think the best place to mount them would be? Thank you, Jonny:):)
