Gents, I'm new to forum and I'm enjoying reading old stuff. Have decided to try stage 1 remap soon but would appreciate some advice please. Ordered new Cupra on 1st August in Luna Grey with Black wheels. Car was due 6 Oct but got a call less than two weeks before to say the factory has...

Hi, I have a question, my rearview wiper does the strangest things sometimes it works normally and on other times it works on its own. From suddenly wiping till not wiping at all. Usually it starts to wipe when the front wipers work, but even those sometimes are eratic (not propperly using the...

As some of you will know my k1 was helpfully recycled by local layabouts. I haven't a clue what to drive next. I really mean it, totally confused. We will be starting a family in the near future but I don't want to completely compromise my driving principles, I refuse to be a mondeo man! I know...

Hi all, looking at buying an ibiza cupra, but can only afford a high miler (90K+). was just wondering how long hte standard turbo's last before they want a refurb/rebuild/replace? or will they last as long as the engine? cheers, andy

How long do the standard fit batteries normally last- mine is a 2003 model, still on its original... is it worth changing it now before it packs up one dark night in a few months!!

:cry: Ok... So I have an engine with a problem :headhurt: The story: I have never had one problem with the Cupra since ownership in aug '08 Last night was driving for a good 30 minutes at a steady 50-60mph, the car was fine the whole journey. Within coming close to destination, I...

Hi all, I was wondering if any of you know how long the battery of the car key lasts. I've had my car for three years and a half now and I'm wondering if the time is coming when I have to change the battery so not to be locked outside the car. :D

Hi all, I was driving along today and was wondering what the life expectancy for a Modified MK1 Cupra would be? Really just for the main items like engine, clutch, gearbox, turbo etc. Currently running at 96000 miles with a Revo stage 2 remap, 4 bar fpr, APR 3" exhaust, stratmosphere DV...

hoping some of yo guys can shed some light on my battery problem. what happens is basically i leave the car for the night or a few days and when i go to start it the battery is obviously flat or atleast doesn't have enough power to get the car going. It happened a while back and i got it...

This has happened a couple of time now, The car drives fine, no ecu light and it just dies, as if its stalled and then about 10 mins later it starts again fine and still with no ecu light on. Its happened a few times now twice at junctions or at lights when waiting just stalls then wait...

My wipers have started doing there own thing, they go off when its not raining and wont stop, the position that was off now is extra quick and when i wash the rear window the fronts go as well, and when the fronts are washed it does it in extra quick and takes for ever to stop, it was funny to...

As the title says does anybody have any real life photos of the mk5 ibiza in galia blue, preferably in 3 door thanks

just a quick question about suspension.... i run a completley standard ovni cupra R and recently had alot of ride problems, so thinking towards springs and shocks, how long roughly is the life of both?

The above subject is not something I ever bothered about with other cars, but with the Leon (FR tdi, chipped, though not at the moment to save the clutch) it's a big issue. Front tyres are lasting something like 3 months, 3000 miles or so before getting down to below 1.5mm of thread :( I think...

basically i started off with a standard 1.4 mk3 ibiza, she was a ncie red but in need of some love. so i started with a good old spit and polish.. well a lot of polish! I also debaged the sides are rear. (is a .cool/s) as you can see i also put 6x9's in my parcel shelf as standard...

When I got recovered by the AA the other week due to CV joint failure I was have a chat with the AA man who used to work for VW as a techie and owned a Touran 2.0tdi 140. Anyway I mentioned that I thought it was a con that VW engines can go 20k for an oil service where as Seat only 10k. The guy...

Due to replace my front pads this weekend and wondered if I should be looking at doing the discs as well, it's currently done about 35k mainly around town so was wondered what the average millage was for these before they need to be replaced. Been trying google but could not come up with...
