high

had a search, but anyone know any reasons for high inlet temperatures in this cold weather? im experiencing inlet temps upto 47 degrees on side mount intercooler.. why would the temps be so high, i have done logs to confirm this and its regularly this high. im thinking this heat is...

Hello All, I need help, I have a MY05 LCR, with the mods listed in my sig below, anytime I do logging I always see lots of CF’s, I have read a bit about them and basically they are correction factors and caused by the ECU retarded the timing for a few different reasons? that’s great, but I...

Hi all, ive noticed that high mileage Leon pd150's are still going for good money. The only thing im worried about is if i were to spend that much, will i be buying myself problems or are they definately worth the money. Ones ive been looking at are 54-55 patesd all going for about 5-6500 quid?

hello guys, its been bugging me for a while now, but on a cold start my cupra idles between 1500 and 2000 and takes a few mins of gentle driving to drop to normal. Any ideas would be great cheers matt, p.s sorry for layout of my post im on my phone

HI, I bought my car thinking it was standard but was boosting high so i took it too a revo dealer (MS lough) to see if it was revo'ed and it was! think stage one but he said the settings were pretty low compared to normal, He said it was about level 5-6 out of a possible 9, Probably why i...

I'm going to be fitting a INA manifold soon and would like to see the modified spanners people have made to fit them. Just need to see the shape of them more than anything so I can make one. So lets see some pics please :)

Hi i took delivery of my 03 Ibiza TDI sport yesterday and the clutch biting point is quite high i was wondering if this is something to worry about as the car is in warrenty and could probs get it sorted. i thought if the biting point is high it means the clutch might be on its way out...

Pondering what to do with my Leon Cupra. 2001 model with 120k on the clock. As per my other thread, the 'ear' engine mount has sheared off the block. This can be fixed with an aftermarket bracket. The cambelt etc will need replacing at the same time (it's still running but was scoured as a...

hi guys been searching on the net and cant find any decent cams. i have done all the body work and now want to release full protential out of my 2.0 l 16 with cams head work etc re map does anyone have any ideas.

I'm quite lucky in a way my dads friend is a farmer who owns an unused old WW airfield, so p!ssing about on his private road is quite fun.... maybes... anyways... Was travelling up one of these runways and was about to hit the 160mph mark and then the car just stopped, revs started...

I have seen lately lots of ads for the ferrera and other valve kits that can get the engine easily to around 8500rpm. since i am very much a redliner i would be very interested in seeing the engine go that high. the question is basically if the k04 on a cupra can deliver any power at...

Bought my 2002 LC near the start of the year on about 90k, As usual i wasnt going to look around and ended up buying the first one i went to see. Didnt bother me at all as it was in very good condition anyway. Anyways its now coming up to 105k, has a full service history, a few mods, and so...

Finaly got the 2l run in with the owens turbo, and was at stealth for an oil change, so thought it'd be rude not to run it on the dyno. Results 391tq 481hp Crap phone photos unfortunately. It now flat spinds 3rd on anything but a dry surface, and strugles for traction in...

I saw this interesting bit from fifth gear. They tested three different cars (clio, golf gti mk5, and imprezza) and three different fuels. On the GTi the difference between the 95 "supermarket" fuel and the Shell Optimax showed only a 5 HP difference. they didn't test for mpg but still, really...

hello i am looking at getting a cupra. the only thing that is putting me of is that it has 119k on the clock. would this be something to worry about? thanks

The biting point on my clutch is right at the top. It actually gets a little higher when the car is warmed up. How high is your??? If this is to high, do you think the master cylinder / slave is on it's way out? (I have used the search, but nothing covers height) I have checked for leaks...

At the moment i have my clutch position switch out but i cant get it to stay in because theres so much pressure in the pedal it just forces it straight out when i release the clutch can a worn clutch cause this?? it is slipping etc and being changed tomorrow also my clutch pedal sits...

What is it with planning a RR day and things going wrong with the car? My problem this time is when accelerating, at around 4.5-5000 rpm and on full boost, the car sort of bogs down and starts stuttering like its on the limiter. A few months back a suspect MAF was causing probs but after...

After returning from a spirited ride with 20c degrees ambient temp. with the mk3 1.8 20vt, I noticed the oil temp. at 110c and when parked at the end of the ride , the Water temp. rose above 90 degrees just slightly . I should say that I'm with a brand new metal impellor water pump and LM 5W40...

Hi all, I recently had a chance to run my car (LCR - IHI Converted) on a Private Test Track ;) ....at about 120+ the steering seems to get very shakey etc.... What should I look at? ...also - powering out of corners - I can never get the power down, I seem to get this funny...
