issues

Would be grateful for any advice on the following please :- 56 plate Ibiza Sport TDI 1.9. 1 month ago started to display all kinds of warning lights. Power steering failed a couple of times and re-engaged after stop/start. Codes all cleared. SEAT advised they could not do anything without a...

Hey folks, First 2 runs done in 3rd gear, last one in 4th. EDIT: Can't get the (CODE) (/CODE) to display it in a decent format - so here is the spreadsheet itself:

I've noticed quite recently and quite suddenly as in the matter of days where the handbrake has slackened off to the point where its not holding the car when parked. I've checked over the rear brakes and the pads are within decent wear and the discs are still good. Has anyone else experienced...

Hi all, The last few weeks i've noticed my steering's been a bit tight left and right. When turning it seems a bit more difficult than normal but nothing too bad. Today I went round a corner and the power steering just gave up and I pulled over. I turned the car off then back on and it was...

I seem to have a funny issue with my Leon Cupra TDI. It's an 04 plate. The other week I noticed it struggling to start when the engine is hot. The starter turns over for longer than normal. From cold it is fine. Usually turn the key and it starts straight away. Anyway, I used it the other day...

Hi All, I'm having a few issues with my car especially in third gear (sometimes all gears) at around 3500-4000RPM. Recently I've had the following mods installed to my car, and I cant pinpoint exactly what the cause is and I'm hoping that someone can help. Recently I've had the following...

HELP! I know nothing about engines really I think I've got a boost leak, Between 3000-4000 RPM it kind of boosts, then stops... then boosts again, then stops then boosts and then continues without a problem at "What feels like" 3/4 boost. How do you source a boost leak? What pipes could...

Ummm Would leaving an interior light on in the car for two days cause me to have power steering issues? I understand the pump runs of the battery. Reversing out at low revs wouldn't put enough power out to run the pump and cause it to potentially cut out. Is this something that could have...

hiya all, i have a 03 plate LCR was driving back from work, everything working fine when suddenly after exiting a roundabout my engine fault light came on. the car started to judder slightly when i put my foot on the accelerator and there was nowhere near the right power (im assuming...

ok, tried fitting the MBC today and I am confused I understand you still leave the N75 plugged in electronically - DONE the N75 fits into the TIP, so I took it out and blocked off the TIP - DONE the vac line from the actuator fits to the underneath of the MBC - DONE the vac line into...

Hi all, Ihave my ADL in my mk3 now, just a few issues still remain, Firstly im stuck with the normal idle issue caused by the ISV etc. Secondly when i accelerate every now and again i get little to no power and i can hear the engine sucking shed loads of air in and thats all so im...

Hi all, First of all, I have searched the forum and can't find any threads which relate to the problem I'm having. I have a 2004 LCR 225. When flooring it in any gear I can hear the turbo spool up as expected quickly followed by a whoosh of air which I believe is the DV (forge007p)...

Hi guys. I was posting in another thread regarding this however I thought I would start a new one as it wasn't directly related to the origional thread. I recently had overheating issues which are now solved with the replacement of my thermostat and the housing it locates into. However I...

Hi Guys, I've been searching through the forums for the last week or so trying to find someone who's had the same problem as me, but can only find the reverse! I've had my Leon (1.6 SX) for about 3 months now. After a while I realised that the boot light didn't come on. I'd already fixed...

I have recently brought a Seat Altea 1.6 petrol and have had problems starting it since. It is a weird problem because after being left overnight it 80% of the time starts correctly but if for example I went out somewhere and left it for a few hours I would have to turn it over for a while and...

Ok so I am finally getting somewhere with the fitting! Just got the TIP to go on as I was just trying to get it on without cutting any off of it. But my problem is that when I took the K03 off, there were 2 vacuum pipes going to the actuator. Now on the K03s there is only one connection. What...
