NOT!!! I seemed to have developed a nasty one above my accelerator pedal! Checked under the scuttle panel and everything looks solid and free of leaves, dirt etc. One think I did notice is that the seal around the loom housing felt a bit wet. Is this a common place for a leak? Oddly...

Found this link on the internet while searching for ways of detecting boost leaks. http://www.vfaq.com/mods/ICtester.html Ive had the 17965 overboost code for over a year now and want to use my xmas time off to sort the problem ! Have any of you used methods similair to the above ? Has it...

Evening all. Is there a quick and easy way to check if my turbo manifold gasket is leaking? cheers

Ive been under the bonnet for a couple of hours now , and had the bumper off checking the intercooler piping etc. My car only boosts to 5psi when it used to boost to 12. I want to upgrade a few parts on the car (fmic, sports cat etc) but I am not going to attempt it untill I can get to the...

I have an '02 Alhambra and have been bothered for a while by water getting inside the tailgate. It was not the rear washer. Last service the garage had a go at fixing - I think they re-seated the light cluster in some new silicone gunk, but the problem persisted - worse if anything. Having...

Help, my washer pump leaks on my leon cupra x reg where it fits into the reservoir- I've tried fixing it with blue instant gasket but it doesn't work - does any body know the parts numbers (my nearest dealers -are lazy sods and never ring back /claim no knowledge of my calls) I think the part...

i have a 2.0 tdi referance sport, 1,500 miles, but have noticed water dripping out from bottom of all 4 door panels where they meet the metal part of the door. The water doesnt come into the car but sits on the rubber door seal. Water also finds its way into the plastic section at the...

My car has developed the fault below, its a 1.8t DBW AUM engine which is basically the same as the AUQ fitted to Leon Cupras. I'm looking for common areas which cause these problems, so I can focus on them. Obviously I'm going to have to strip bits off and do visual inspections, but any tips...

Hi all, Had the cam belt and water pump changed on my Toledo TDI today, and when I collected it the garage pointed out that I had a slight coolant leak from the corner of my radiator.. Not good, I was wondering where the few spots of water were coming from that often appear on my drive...

can someone please please help, its getting ridiculous. Im getting so much water in the rear ps footwell, there's non in the front foot well. I tried sealing the door deal up with silicon ( the rubber seal ) but had no luck. I really need to fix this otherwise its going to damage the...

What do you guys/girls think of this.... http://www.a4mods.com/index.php?page=webcontent/pages/boostleak.html

as per title, what's the best way?

As the title really, had some rainbox slx265's fitted the other day. The chap uses the existing speaker plastic ring mounts and inverted them rather then making mdf mounts. Anyway, now the door leaks and after taking the skin off to inspect, the speaker magnet and underside of the cone...

hi guys think i have a boost leak on my 01 ibiza cupra! or some sort of boost problem trying to get to the end of it! hows best to check? manually feeling? engine running or not? any revs etc? anyhelp would be much appreciated

Hi all. I've had the familiar water leakage problems with my 2001Y Leon Cupra. My local dealers (who I believe to be good people) initially suggested that the only way to be sure of fixing it was (approx. prices): - £300 for new ancilliary carrier seals on all four doors - £200 for new...

After the heavy rainfall at the beginning of the week i went out to my car and it was all misted up AGAIN!!!!! Funny me thinks, as i had the door seals done early this year, so should not have happened. So i started the car and put the fan on, this made it worse by a huge amount, far far...
