leak

Had my car serviced today and the mechanic noticed an oil leak from what looks like a vacuum unit above the alternator right by the top of the engine. There was a small amount of oil around the pipes and some which had leaked onto the alternator. There is no warning lights etc. It wasnt at...

Right guys and girls. My car is being purchased by a friend of mine next month, Being a nice person i ideally need to get this resolved. I have a mk1 FR 1.8T, I checked the oil the other day and it seemd to have gone down since last checked. I topped it up a little and all good...

As the title asks, the usual leak I was in my boot this affo and noticed the carpet is damp on the O/S near the rear seat. The rear seat squab is also a little wet where it meets the boot carpet. No puddles etc. just damp. It smells of the strong screen wash that I use in the car. I did use the...

I have a 2007 FR TDI which I've been having problems with. ( see my earlier thread "fr tdi over filled with oil") I was advised that I could possibly have a boost leak so I've tried a visual inspection of the pipework ( most of which is inaccessable to someone as untrained as me !!!), and I've...

Hello guys :) I went out with jamiebennett to do some logging tonight as my car doesn't feel as fast as it was before FMIC. You can check the logs here. http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showpost.php?p=2811089&postcount=60 Everything point to boost leak right? Is everything else...

I have had my car checked by 3 garages, they cannot locate any leaks, No pressure tests have been done, just visibly looking at the hoses, Leak started when I changed to an uprated recirc DV, A huge wheezing can now be heard with probs only 75% power.. Where should I be looking for leaks...

This might sound a bit weird but here goes; There is no boost leak or decrease in boost when booting it in any gear. There is no boost leak when slowly accelerating in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 5th I only start to feel boost leak when im accelerating in 4th which is strange. I have the...

My friend has a 5dr Mk2, which has a water leak somewhere. When I had a look at it, the water seems to be coming from the o/s/r area and trickling down into the wheel well. I think it might be the rear washer pipe, but where does this run exactly? Is it a black pipe?

Hi Please can anyone help I have just bought a 20VT 180 and when running at temperature there is a hissing noise coming from the engine as if a pipe is split and the idle 'pinks' slightly. Also when you rev the engine the revs drop but the cars nearly stalls. When driving there is no problem...

Hi, When fixing up the engine block, mechanic has mentioned there is a 'hissing' sound, and that combined with the recent error codes from VAG.COM would indicate a possible boost leak. They mentioned it would require some form of 'octopus' of pipes and here I am showing my ignorance as I...
