Hello everyone I am after some advice. Own a Seat Ibiza 2.0 Sport 04 plate and I need some advice. I believe the engine is an 8V unit. I am trying to find mroe information about the engine to try and fix an exisiting fault. Which other vag cars has this engine been in? Am I right in thinking...

Hi All When i get in the car in mornings turn the key starts up fine revs go to about 1300 after about 20-30 seconds revs start to full as normal but then idle very erratic goes from About 1000 to almost stalling i have to keep revs high with accelerator to stop it stalling after about 5 mins...

I have recently started to have a problem with my Leon 1.6 SX. Every morning it won't start. The engine turnes over, it fires, but doesn't catch, so I have to try again and again and again until I eventually end up bumping it down the road. the battery seems healthy, as it continues to turn...

It will bump start but the key will not turn the car over, the starter motor works i have had direct power onto it and turns and runs the car also the battery is fine, my key will not work the remote locking i have tried re programming key but no joy there is a new battery in the key but, will...

Hi guys. Hope you are well but could do with a bit of help :) I have a 2007 Yellow Seat Leon Reference Sport - 1.4TDI. The car runs well normally and I even had it remapped a few months ago - does go rather well after the remap. The only problem I have is when I try to start the car...

ok since I been getting in car when its been stood about 12 hours or so first thing in a morning when its been -2.5c its taking about 4 seconds to fire maybe more I do wait for the glow plug light to go out and it goes pretty much instantly to be honest. I just tested the glow plugs pulled...

My LC will not start if the outside temp is below say -3 degress. There is no power getting down to the starter as if a relay isnt being pulled across. As soon as it warms up abit outside it starts with no problems. I wouldnt mind as much but this is the second winter with fault and i just wanna...

Hi, i have a CUPRA TDI 06 and i am haveing difficulties staring it when the engine is wram. Cold starts are fine but if i go for say a 10 mile drive, leave the car and then try to start it it will just crank over and not start. after repeated continuous attempts it will finally start. I...

Hi guys This mnorning i get to my car for a short journey, turn the ignition and the EPC light and the engine management come on and nothing happens. the car doesnt even turn over. all the other lights come on and then go off as normal but the EPC light and the engine management light...

I've been experiencing over the last few months an intermittent issue where if I leave the car a few days without use, when I do start the car after a few seconds there is an audible beep. The beep is the same as when you hit the low fuel marker but the coolant light will flash red and will not...

Hello, My Mk4 Tdi 130 sport has developed an odd random fault (happened 3 times now)... Basically when arriving at the car (could have been left for any amount of time ranging from seconds to hours!) I find that the instrument console only (not the radio) is lit up with the red back light...

I havent started my car in nearly 2 months now, its gonna need jump starting but is there anything i should do before i fire her up? All levels are ok btw. Thanks.

My seat cordoba starts for a second then dies, The fuel pump is working when I turn the ignition on. there is fuel in the car. I Think it could be to do with when the car was parked last the key came away from the immobiliser half of the fob. We clipped it back together and nothing seemed...

Hi, i have a terrible time starting my Mk 1 leon tdi. Got a friend to check for error codes and one comes up that he cant erase... 4632 Fuel Pump maximum stop. While i was there i checked the glow plugs and they arent getting any power which might explain the dodgy starting. Next step i suppose...

Went to start the Ibiza the other day (mk2 1.8 16v) and it fires up and then just dies and am trying to figure out whats causing it is it the Coil pack a relay or the alarm/immobiliser Has anyone got a wiring diagram that shows the relays and which is which or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Right folks here's something to get you thinking! :p Tonight when just about to go out i went to start the car and it took a couple of turns before it fired. When it started it had a lumpy idle for a few seconds which then cleared and it ran fine Set of to my work and the car drove like...

As far as I can see there is no sub forum for the seat inca....so in here it goes! I'm having problems starting my 1.9d inca. Turns over but just won't start,seems to me to be fuelling related. I've checked the injectors and getting nothing coming out of them at all. I have a supply...

Right, I may be being picky but the last couple of mornings somethings different with the 1.9tdi sc. Having a Mk1 Leon TDi 130 I've always started the car by just turning the key with no throttle needed and it's always fired. With the wifes Ibiza it's always been the same until recently...
