failing

First post here, had a read and this is a rather knowledgeable place especially as my knowledge on cars can be written on the backof a postae stamp. Model 1.2sx3door I have had the vehicle from new and it has had no faults until now, is is a 2004 model and has done about 91000 miles quite...

Hi all I was wondering if anyone can help me A few weeks ago my car gave up the go (V-reg 1.4l petrol), driving along and the engine just stalled out under acceleration, it began to behave itself again but only for a few days where it completely gave up firing up (starter turns over but...

I recently had my Arosa MOT'd, and it failed due to a leaking rear shock. Thats fair enough you may think, but I've got a receipt from before I bought it - for fitting new rear shocks! So that means the last pair fitted lasted 2 and a half years, and less than 10,000 miles! Now, my car...

Have a 97 p reg alhambra tdi a few weeks ago the rev and petrol gauge light went off i flicked it and it came back on and has since failed again but now the speedo and fuel gauge ones are going dim all the other dash lights are ok and the clocks fine. what could it be is it as simple as...

My driver side brake light has been really intermittant of late, have changed the bulb three times, but it's now not worked for over two weeks. I've tried giving it a bash, which worked on occassion, but not this time. Are they known for wiring faults? What can i do about this? I can't afford...

Lately my car in third gear seems to be lacking something, especially up an incline, i feel it's holding back, felt like i was missing some horses. It then gradually came back beyond 4k rpm. I was doing logs tonight and as i was logging the holding back came back again in third gear...

Noticed the other day my Fk highsport coilovers started making a small rattle sound from the front passenger side coilover but didn't think much of it because of the harsher ride. But as my MOT is due i got a pre MOT done on it and it looks like there is play in the shiny piston part of the...

i have very good reason to belive that mine is very much on the way out taking it to the dealership tomorrow but wanting an idea of time and costs etc. car is still in warentee till 29th december. cheers also, any one know of a cause would be swell.

just wondered what the signs are for these as im having trouble with boost. the car just feels like a 1.8 not boosting above 5psi at times? Other times it feel like its hesitating then hits you with full boost , not a smooth delivery??? Had a look at the N75 at the number on the side which...

want to get some for my 1.6, obviously seat dealears will have them put they would cost an arm and a leg wouldnt they??

Will you always get a fault code if one of the Lambda probes is failing? Reason i ask.... Logged my MAF readings the other day. Was only seeing 130g/s, but the car still pulls hard and goes really well. I've since tried 2 new MAFs. I've logged them and seen higher values...

I have noticed the car surges through the rev's on a cold start and have noticed is that my top speed is slightly down, so I belive the MAF is failing. After all it is the same MAF after 72,000 miles!! After a quick maf run it seems to be ok it's pulling 150g/s however it did used to pull...
