Hi All, New Formentor owner, got my new V2 150 about 6 days ago, done about 160 miles. Love the look and feel of the car and the driving experience. Well, most of it. Today I was out driving on an A-road and the car shut down the driver aids, including the power steering assist, and almost...

Hi Everyone, I've had a Full THS FR3 kit fitted to my Cupra R for about 6 months. Unfortunately the bolts that attach an engine mount (not the THS part apparently) to the engine block have for some reason sheared off and caused not only the obvious failure to the engine mount but also a...

My car's a 2000X Cordoba Vario TDi. It's been running fine, and all of a sudden wouldn't start. The breakdown people came and fiddled around and reported that it was an electrical problem and towed it away. The electrician apparently reported that he couldn't get a connection between his...

Driving home last night, i lost power and while smoke starting coming from the exhaust, along with a weird noise, so I figured turbo had gone. I pulled over, just as I was doing so, teh engine went nuts and starting running away, was white smoke pouring out the exhaust and it was coming in the...

54 plate LCR... I seem to have lost my brake lights. I've tried replacing the bulbs, only the sidelights work but not the brakes. Also checked the fuse, swapped it over with the reverse light and it stayed on with both fuses. Spoiler light is out too, would that cause them to fail? What...

Topped the oil up today on my Cupra to find this inside the oil filler cap.:( The car doesn't use water at all so I'm a bit confused as to why it is there. It does smell a bit of exhaust fumes though. The car currently runs and drives OK so is this the sign of a blown head gasket. Water temp is...

Hi, Our 2002 Leon CupraR (35000mi) has just hit 120deg on the way home from the shops (as I overtook a car) I let off and cruised into our village which was 1/2mi or so away and as I pulled into the house the water temp had returned to 90deg. I'm pretty sure it needs the waterpump changed...

It's combustion gases displacing coolant and coolant being lost through the header tank due to pressure. I have no other symptoms but was wondering if I should be ok in regards to cracked/warped head/block as the car doesn't overheat, it just loses coolant and is refilled before it has the...

Well as the title states my brakes have just failed, typically when approaching a speed bump slightly quicker than I perhaps should have been. Pedal felt normal for a second then went completely soft and hit the floor. :wtf: I managed to slow down enough by a quick down shift and some good ol'...

When i go to reverse the car it automatically turns down the radio so i can hear the P.D.C but on this occasion it didnt bleep when i was near something although it did turn the radio down. This caused me to bump into our caravan :( the damage happened on the right hand side of the car on the...
