spot

Hi all newbie to this forum, after much thought and advice I have decided I want a seat alhambra 1.9 tdi. I have found the perfect one but the guys been honest and said it has a flat spot at about 1500 revs. Would you say this is a major worry? He thinks its the air mass sensor? would appreciate...

Hello all, I have recently purchased a 55plate FR+ 150 tdi with 30k on the clock and regained my love of driving again. I have now noticed a slight flat spot after changing from 2nd to 3rd gear. The car goes as it should through 1st and 2nd but once in 3rd just seems to dawdle before anything...

i seem to have a problem when pulling away in 1st gear, if i pull away at 1,200 rpm and let the clutch out it seems to bog down e.g. the revs drop to under 1,000 and then you jerk forward slightly and then its ok but its not very smooth. On the other hand if i rev it to about 1,400 rpm and do...

I've been browsing Autotrader looking for an FR TDI 130, and I'm a little wary about people advertising a car as an 'FR 130' when in fact it's just a remapped 110, or even nothing of the sort. One thing which worries me is that there seem to be a few which have 'TDI' on the back, instead of...

Just had to change the Tyres and found that 1 of the alloys has a flat area on the inside of the wheel. The dealer says that it was not there when the car was sold to me last year:-o:-o. How much will it cost to get it repaired?:censored: Where in Scotland can i get it done?

Is it common for there to be a flat spot on the PD130 engine at around 1700RPM? I've changed gear a few times and noticed the engine seems to stutter slightly, a little like it's misfiring. Not got VAG Com so can't check for any error codes.

I have a terrible flat spot on one of my cupra R's - I've tried all sorts to fix it but am at my wits end! so far i've had the following done but to no avail: New Boost Controller Sensor, New Mass Air Flow Meter, New Platinum Plugs, also had it remapped to see if that would cure it...

Greetings Chaps. Must say, have been browsing info on this site since getting my Leon (about 3 weeks ago). Have a question, it seems to be when cold. (but not exclusively) I get a throttle flat spot appear. It feels as if I have lifted off the throttle. If I accelerate through this...

Sorry if this sounds like a really dumb question :redface: What's the easiest way to tell if a Leon has xenon's. apart from asking someone! Can you tell from just looking at the headlights, do you need to turn them on? Never had a car with them before so I don't know what I should be...

I've just discovered a previously unnoticed deep scratch on the boot hatch of my new 55 Leon which, after a few weeks of lovely road salt, has started turning alarmingly rusty! It's only a very small scratch but has evidently cut straight through to the metal which has turned a lovely shade of...

Can anybody tell me what a flat spot is? I dont think ive ever experienced it. Is it when you presh down the accelerator the car feels like its not going any faster for a short second or two then kicks in? Also what causes a flat spot?

Normally we can tell if its got a set of alloys or its seriously lowered/modified.. 9 times out of 10 i find myself checking the rear wiper to see if its been changed for a fabia or toureg wiper. so how do you spot a car that may be on SCN that is standard looking? or am i the only one...

I currently have a knocking noise coming from my front wheels/suspension area, the passenger side sounds louder. you can hear it while driving, more so at slow speeds and over small bumps. It sounds like something is loose kind of! So i took the wheels of to investigate, i recently fit...

Hi being new to the 03 Seat Leon 20v turbo cupra we have just bought I wondered if there are any known faults which cause a hesitation/flat spot when accelerating from start or low speed in low gears namely 1st and 2nd?? The car is awesome and has full leather electric seats and climate...

Hey Chaps. The car seems to boost fine usually, and this is NOT an intermittent problem. From about 3 to 3.5krpm the car accelerates, but doesn't seem to boost as much or as with as much force before or after this range. It's not a massive drop, but it is noticable. As when you floor it...
