Really starting to bug me this now: When the car has warmed up the revs hold for a few seconds between gear changes and when stopping to idle can take a while to reach idle RPM. What the hell causes this? When changing gear it's as if i'm not taking my foot off the gas properly so gear...

We basically my cars not boosting right, it seems like it drops off boost, and also doesn’t seem to boost up for what it should (18psi) I can also smell fuel when I put my foot down for, this is only if you put it down for over 15/20 secs. I have no idea what it could be :S I know iv got a...

I have a 1.8T Cupra and its always felt that I haven't really got 180bhp. I noticed on hard acceleration the power seems to surge then hold back then surge every one or 2 seconds. Whats the most likely suspect, sticking wastegate ? What boost pressure should it be running ? Thanks

Dropped into my local SEAT dealers today to check a part number, and saw a 55 Plate FR+ TDI on the forecourt with 33,000 miles on the clock, and the price in the window...... £12,995 I only paid £700 more than that 24 months ago brand new! Made me smile :D

When driving the car sometimes under load or heavy acceleration, when I change gear the revs sometimes increase by say 500rpm before dropping back. I have just replaced the DV for a forge one but still does it. Any ideas?

Does anyone have the little poppers that hold the mats down in the front fitted to their alteas? My car has none and the parts guy said you can't fit them as they are part of the carpet. The front mats seem to slide about when getting in and out and it's annoying me, any suggestions?:shrug:

Hi Chaps, I did a search and didn't find much, I have a question regarding the power of my LCR. When I bought it a couple months ago, and whilst driving it home for the first time the power was awesome and sometimes scary. Since owning the car it has been booked in for a couple of minor...
