Hey all, was in my car today, in some traffic and my engine just went mental (coolant dial went past the red line and the mfa said that oil temperature was Reading 122 degrees) :( My instant thought is that it might be the headgasket (oil and water mixing and making it go nuts) but the engine...

We've had our Leon for a few months now and i've had to sort a few niggles out such as fitting the canbus adaptor for the headunit, couple of tyres needed doing etc. but there are a couple of issues that are troubling me. I've spent the last few hours reading topics on here but wanted some extra...

My 2002 LCR which has been serviced by Seat from new and has only done 42K now has had 6 advisory items needing attention. Can anyone tell me what prices to expect for parts and labour? Do you think I should only get some items fixed? 1) Nearside Front lower (inner rear) suspension arm rubber...

Hi all, Ive got a mk2 ibiza 2.0 16v abf and when the engine is cold for example first thing on a morning, the engine doesnt seem to idle very well it just keeps bouncing off the revs as if im blipping the throttle, i really dont know why this is happening, oh and when i set off its just a...

Right, bought my HID kit from HIDS4U when I got my Leon for the CANBUS system, first off a bulb blew, took numerous weeks to sort it and now they have failed altogether. The so called 'water proof' connections have corroded badly, then the ballast didn't give out the correct voltage as one of...

Spent a few hours this weekend fitting a THS TIP. Would of been a lot quicker but I spent ages trying to align the TIP but it just wont reach the air box. It is to short by around 25-30mm, if you include the MAF housing I'd say it was around 40-50mm short. Has anyone else experienced this...

My seat cordoba starts for a second then dies, The fuel pump is working when I turn the ignition on. there is fuel in the car. I Think it could be to do with when the car was parked last the key came away from the immobiliser half of the fob. We clipped it back together and nothing seemed...

Hi, I bought my Leon Cupra TDi a couple of months ago, and, until now, it's been great. However, over the past week or so, i've getting into the car every morning and have been noticing that where the time is usually displayed, the temperature shows as 4.5 degrees or sometimes 5 degrees and...

I'm having a problem with my girlfriend's Ibiza. First, her climate control was only working on the front windscreen and in the cabin, but not on the feet. I pulled out the module that holds all the dials and everything seemed in place. I put it back together, and now the air is only blowing...

My temp gauage keeps dropping of to nothing then rising up to half way again. Ive replaced the green four pin sender but its still doing it!! What do we reckon a new thermostat required?

Over the last couple of weeks my other half has been driving my car and has been complaining of a kocking noise from the back of the Ibiza..... Followed it in her clio sport the other day and noticed that the Rear ARB was looking a bit odd on the Ibiza. Chucked it up on stands today and had...

Having problems with my Leon again. The past five weeks I have had the cam, crank, lambda sensors and temp sender fitted plus new cambelt. Took my car to dealer because it was dropping below 1000rpm when sitting idle and the revs die and the car cuts out. They put it through diagnostics, no...

As title says please help, I fitted a PD150 TD stage2 turbo, last week and have been driving quietly to let it settle in, so last nite i decided to give it a run up the dual carrage way to make sure it was ok. All went fine, untill i got about 2miles from home and the turbo started sqeeling, its...

Hi guys still haven't got down to the idle probs, even had a mechanic look and he walked away still scratching his head. Between everyone that's looked at it I've worked out that it's something to do with the below located behind the drivers headlight. I've worked this out by the fact...

Ok, after a little help here...... When I first bought the Cupra, it used to boost to 25psi (well, 24-26) in every gear.... However, since about March time, it only pulls about 20psi. When I first noticed this, I wasn't too fussed. Also, a mate thought it may have something to do with high...
