Hi guys! I've got a leon 2l tfsi sport (185bhp), when i'm accelerating with the window down theres a sorta hissing/sucking sound maybe, normal? Reading about how carp the standard diaphram dv's are i'm kinda thinking the dv maybe faulty! I have vag-com (no fault codes about boost atm tho)! I was...

hi all, my situation is this. i have an imperial blue mk3 ibiza with no bumper on it, and a copper coloured bumper (i picked it up cheap). how can i strip the paint off the bumper? (paint stripper will ruin the plastic) it'll take me forever to sand it down, would a specialist paint/body...

hey peeps! i know there is already a couple of threads about de-cats but this one has got a bit of a twist! i just picked up a spare cat for my cupra and was looking to cut out the cat and just weld a bit of pipe in! can anyone tell me if this is a good idea or bad idea? will it bring on any...

now might sound stupid, but im teaching myself how to fibreglass, and today, i found myself thinking about making my own grill, i really like this type of grill......... so what im goona try is getting a mk2 golf grill (my mates chucking his as the mounts are broke) using the slats to...

Hi all. New to the site but been into VAG cars for years now. My current motor is a 1.4 ibiza ( v reg '99' mpi ) and is making me a little concerned. Seems to have developed a squealing type noise thats getting worse. Started doing it only from cold every now and again but did it today when was...

Right, i want to make my leon quieter on the road, have changed the tyres but didnt really make that much difference. My question is, if i was to sound proof the leon where would be the best place to start e.g. which part of the car allows the most noise to enter the cabin. when driving mine...

I bought my 2003 LCR as new with delivery miles on it for my 27th birthday, happy birthday to me, lol I loved the shape, the style, the speed and above all it is black, which we all know is the best and fastest colour. I bought after 6 months of test driving, internet searching and...

In the last month or so since remap have noticed very loud whistling noise between 1k and 2k rpm in first, second and third under acceleration. That said, car drives fine, goes fine. Should I be worried? Burst pipe? Any ideas? Or, is this just a symptom of the remap? Any advice appreciated...

Hello i have a 55 reg mk1 cupra R 225 and when i go forward then stop reverse stop again the brakes clonk. ive been to My local Seat garage and they said "yeah some do it some dont" its still under warrenty and i said surely it shouldnt do it. They said basically the pads move because they...

Lately I have been noticing that my TDi Leon has been making a whistling sound once it reaches 2000rpm then it goes away once the revs go up to near 2500rpm...does anyone know why this might be or any possible ways of fixing it? Also I have a set of Angel Eyes installed and when I came to my...

Has anyone on here made theyre own speaker adaptors for the MK3?? I have some components to go in but dont want to spend money on a set of adaptors when I have MDF lying around. Just wondered what dimensions I will need to make them to as I havent seen adaptors for the Ibiza before.

I'm thinking of getting a Leon next, having had an A3, Golf and currently an Ibiza I thought I might as well try it. I'm not too bothered about having amazing peformance and was thinking of trying to get a Leon SE TDi and then fitting Cupra R front and Rear bumpers, lowering slightly and fitting...

coilovers are on The back offside (drivers rear) is making a sort of stretching noise if you lift the back arch upwards, a sort of rusty sounding noise/metal rubbing noise.. i hate explaining noises on cars, mainly cos' you cant, but when u bounce the car it makes that sort of metally...

they feel a bit 'thick'....any tips on a good way to unstick them? wd 40 or something, but maybe from the other side? i will be taking the door cards out soon to fit some speakers

Hi folks. I've noticed on quite a number of posts links to other pages have been shortened to click here. That way a huge line of link code stuff is not displayed in the post. How do I make links shorter but still have them work? Thanks, Guy.

Well this is a part Help me, part Rant thread. Why does every Ibiza I have owned have to have THE worlds slowest seatbelt winder. I mean, I can leave the car, come back 3 hours later and my seatbelt still hasn't wound all the way back up [:@] Is this some special Spanish security feature to...

Car was going fine,started it the following morning & although it runs it sounds like a tractor with no power. Revs build up & it sounds like its only running on 2 cylinders any 1 any thought about this. If the engines goosed it'l b broken up so if any1 needs anything let me know.

I hit a pheasant and a few weeks later I washed my car and some of my grill fell out :cry: They are £43 from the dealers as you need both sides. Since I'd aquired an open cone filter I thought I may aswell make this hole bigger and make some use from it. Here's what I did... First of all I...

20mins after I went a 20 mile drive tonight I went out the back of my house to find that there was a high pitched beeping noise coming from the engine bay which would come on for about 2secs every appx 19secs, this went on for a further 15mins! i would normally think this was something to do...
