issues

I have a 2001 Ibiza Cupra and every time i get to around 4000RPM the boost cuts off totally. This doesnt seem to happen in first gear but for all others. :cry: i have taken it to seat and they said it was the MAF . So i had them change that but it is still doing it. I really dont know where to...

right well my rear wiper if i put it on it doesnt actually wipe the glass? then it doesn't stop until it wants to. secondly the front wipers well the left one tries to wipe the whole screen and catches the other one and gets caught. the right hand one is fine unless your going faster than 50mph...

Hi guys! I have a feb 2008 model Ibiza 1.9FR. Bought only 6 weeks ago and already have an issue. I noticed a slight burning smell in heavy traffic and 1st and 2nd gear were very very sticky/notchy to engage. Was not riding the clutch or anything, stopped, neutraled up at lights etc.. Once i...

Hi everyone, I am after a bit of advice! Am having big issues with my leon FR TDI, it keeps intermittently losing power (feels like the turbo goes) which if I turn the engine on and off again stops the problem and all is well again. VAG said it was the fuel pump relay, so had that changed...

OK sorry for the vauge title but I did not know what else to say. I have a 1997 Volcano Red Toledo 2.0L Sports. Two questions, one problem... 1) Why are there two engine types listed everywhere I go and how can I tell the dif? 2) Are the front mounts meant to be replaced every 6000 miles...

Hi Guys... I have a feeling i might have a problem on its way with my gear box.... But my first question is... how do i know if it needs oil? do I get a warning light? Also, on the 2.0PD 140, if any other owners look down into their engine bay at the gear box, can they see a hole in the...

Hey all, I've had my 1.4 MKII Ibiza since August and gradually the list of faults has built up. I have recently gotten a new car, and decided to take this opportunity to get it off the road and start fixing the faults. I pretty much know what most of them are: Manifold gasket is rotten...

Bought a cupra last night it has a couple of issues the main one being that the traction control and abs light are on. The previous owner told me this was the n/s abs sensor. I spoke to my local garage and they confirmed that if this sensor was broken it would put these lights up on the dash. So...

hey guys, FR has been in the dealers today to sort out an airbag light issue ...... it appears its a known issue with a fix out from seat, something to do with the wiring (2nd time i have had this done but anyway). while it was there i wanted to get a couple of other problems looked at, but...

Hey all, I fitted a new aftermarket Pioneer stereo to my mk2 (Cupra 8v) and every time I switch the ignition off I'm losing all the stored info on the stereo including tuned radio stations, audio settings etc. As you can imagine this is a real pain in the arse! I've had aftermarket stereos in...

Hi All My turbo recently made a new whining noise for about a week before dying completely -- zero boost followed by dense smoke out the back. I have had a new genuine turbo installed, but now having trouble with boost/lag. The turbo : 1. Cant feel kick in (boost) until around 2100 rpm...

I have a long running issue with the temp gauge on my 1999 1.8 20v which needs resolving some time soon. Basically, at speeds of 70mph+ the temp gauge hovers between 65-70dgs but at lower speeds, for instance if I am driving round town, reports a temperature of between 80-90dgs. If I leave the...
