When you press this, is the fuel cap meant to pop out? When i press mine, it seems to just unlock it, and i have to wedge my finger/nail underneath to prise it open????

I am doing a spark plug change soon and might as well do a compression test while they are out, would like to know how to shut off the fuel pump for the test please?

Well I seem to be getting a small fault with my car that comes and goes. Once I clear the fault it's fine, then goes into limp mode, then sometimes comes out of it during the same drive, then goes back in etc etc. Always this code here: 17536 - Fuel Trim; Bank 1 (Mult): System too Lean...

Is anybody running their cupra on shell optimax or BP ultimate? If so have you noticed increased performance and/or economy? Is it worth the extra few pence?

Can anyone tell me what the fuel cooler does - apart from cool fuel - is it a critical part of the system? I've been told the fins on mine are damaged and it should be replaced. How much, where is it and is it an easy job to do? Any tips to make the job easier? Cheers

Story starts i suppose when i had my hybrid done and blew my gear box. Now have had a recon box fitted and wernt the best company to be honest. Got my car back and my speedo doesnt move and fuel gauge depends whether ure turning right or left on how much fuel i have so have to guess. So...

Hi, My New Ibiza has now covered 1200 miles, and I love it!! The is only one concern I have is that even with the most gentle driving I cannot achieve better than an average 37 mpg. I used to own a 2.3 V5 170 bhp golf which bettered this fuel economy from new over exactly the same routes...
