days

Sold my old puma and I've decided I want to spend some of the money on a remap for my FR - to try for a little more power and increase the mpg. Most of my driving is motorway/dual carriageway, and 50 miles a day average. Car is coming up to 49k miles. I've been reading lots of old threads...

thought i might post my latests logs.Had a few problems over a period of time but think they're behind me now.Pretty sure these show a healthy LCR , Sunday 14 February 2010 19:19:37 Monday 1ML 906 032 1.8l R4/5VT 0001 1ML 906 033 Group A: '003 Group B...

Well I can join the ranks of people with problems with their mk5. Got in the car this morning and presumably due to the cold, something has gone wrong. The air bag light stays on, on my dash. This is ether an air bag (funnily enough) or seat belt tensioner fault. I also have a permanent scuff...

hi all, well, being as it was a saturday and ive had a new stat sitting in the boot for a while, i thought id change my faulty thermostat on the LC. What a bitch the lower housing bolt is to get too lol! Welkl in the process of removing the n249 bracket, i noticed a couple of split vacuum...

hello, how many days can one be late for a service before it affects the warranty. the next service for my seat ibiza is due 30/12/09. i tried to get in before then but all garages are booked till the end of the new year. first appointments 04/01/10. if i am out by a week does this affect the...

Hi does anyone know of any rolling road days early part of next year...pref south east. want to see what the old girl can do and would be good to put faces to names from the forum.

i woke up this morning and suddenly decided i was bored with my car and i havent seen another ibiza like this i thought i would have a bash. ::D:D Before After What you think? i love it :D

Picked up my 1.6tdi sport sc on Monday, i must say it is a stunning car and i am well impressed with the engine, so glad i didnt get the 1.9tdi. Anyway bloody dpf light came on so i rang the garage. They told me to run the car at 3000 revs for 10 mins and it should go out. Tried it and Bobs your...

I thought I would relaunch this sub-forum with 600whp!:clap: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C8PbF7XMYU Enjoy!

Picked up a 2003 LCR 210 in black on Wednesday and was sad to see my classic scooby (uk turbo) go in part exchange. Loved the scoob, but was string to show its age... I must be doing something wrong in the LCR as I have just done a 100 mile round trip and averaged 36MPG - I was taking it...

noticed the last few days the leon seems to have a weird droning noise above about 30mph, its not related to the gears i don't think as happens in 3rd and above and its not related to engine speed as it dosen't happen in second when at about 2.5k rpm but does at 1.5k rpm in 6th when i...

hi guys,have made the move to getting mk2 cupra as mine starting to get a little tired at 126.000 miles plus i,ve had car for 3 years now.so is there anything to watch for on the mk2 other than the recirculating valve.any suggestions by the way on aftermarket recirc valves,i know that they...

:headhurt:So we all have them... But today was a pain... I started out with good intentions, to change my starter motor, after taking the battery (and all the fuse stuff attached to the top) out, I then moved the power steering bottle off it's bracket and (worried) if the pipe would come off...

Had a long drive today (car is brilliant in 4" of snow by the way!!) which added about 300miles to the clock. Its now at 8944miles. Its due for its 1st service in March some time. But when i started it to go to the shop it told me "Service due in 400 miles or 431 days" So, the computer...

Cupra & Punto http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=97840 Megane 225 http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=98016 Ok, so the date of the Cupra and Punto detail was 3/12/08, but I did do them both yesterday using the same process :harhar: enjoy

Till i exchange my ibiza FR for a leon FR :) Cant wait. The front bumper on the leon, am i right in saying that ive seen on this forum somewhere the FR bumper modified to look like the cupra one by colouring the bottom silver strip that runs between the bottom middle? If so hows this done? or...

just wondering what the value is on a mk2 cupra. I see them going for as little as £500 -£800 these days.

Over the last few days (hard frost etc) my car has decided that it's out of oil. It isn't out of oil, in fact its not even low, but the red oil light flashes continuosly and i get a "Beep" when it starts flashing. On a day when the temps are mild or warm this won't happen, so its got to be...

No this isn't a film review before anyone asks! First of all, the launch control thingie the TDI-FR has, does a Cupra get this feature? As for the car in general, I've had her for a little under 3 weeks now, and forgive me if this sounds a little strage, but... The car is a dam sight...

Just got back from getting a st1 revo, forge dv and pipercross induction kit fitted at AMD. Well the drive home from lakeside was deffinately a lot quicker than on the way there thats all ill say and the map wont be fully adapted for another couple of days yet :-o Merry Xmas to me!! LOL...
