Hi! Just after a bit of advice. I can't understand why my car has suddenly started smoking under acceleration. Seems to be a bluey colour and smells like oil burning. Doesn't do it on tick over or if I rev it on the drive, only when you put your foot down under load and accelerate. I 've never...

I have recently noticed my LCR smokes a little on start up, if you give the throttle a few blips it gives a noticeable amount of smoke for the first couple of minutes. (It doesn't smoke if it's just left idling). My oil and water have no contamination in them. Could this mean my turbo is on its...

As mentioned in another thread, I have a new FR TDi 150 Leon, 55 plate, which now has 1200 miles on (so is starting to loosen up nicely). I love the car, and it performs brilliantly, but just have one concern. Some people say it's normal, others don't (like my Dad, who's just jealous that...

Last night whilst driving in to my home town one of my mates dropped a lit fag on the back seat of my cupra which burned a rather large hole. Aaaaaaarh!!! :ban: Does anyone know how much a new mk4 cupra bench (larger one) costs and would it be cheaper to get the damaged one re-covered?
