Hi, My 05 Ibiza 1.4 Sport has trouble starting on a cold morning. Once it has started it is fine and starts first time for the rest of the day. The garage couldnt find any faults on the computer but replaced the temp. sensor but this has not fixed the problem. Can anyone give me an idea of what...

Recenlty it seems to get worse. If the car was parked up for couple of days when trying to start it on a coldish morning it would struggle to turn over properly. Usually two attempts be needed or bit of gas to get it going. Now its getting to every morning even if I only drove it abotu 6...

Wondering if anybody has the same problem or if anyone can help? Occasionally when i start my Leon there seems to be an annoying vibrating/rattling sound as the car starts up then as soon as the car is at rest it stops. The noise doesn't happen when acclerating though. :think:

Anyone know when the Timing belt should be changed and what it is like to drive with a failing belt? My TDI 110 is starting to sound a bit rough when ticking over or when I'm starting to accelerate. The car was remapped around 8 months ago and I tend to drive a bit fast at times !! The cars...

Starting with a standard k03 cupra, which is the best sequence of performance mods? And then what when you reach the limits of the k03 and in which order.

i have noticed that my car seems to be taking more and more to get started in terms of length of the key turn, it seems to work fine unless the gauge is showing less than half a tank and then takes that bit more to start also today i replaced the plugs and started up and it took a lot to get...

Guys on starting my leon tonight the car when i turned the key the engine was starting to turn over but car would not start (sorry not the best discription). Engine started when i touched the accelorator and turned key, drove a short distance home, not half a mile, while driving the engine...

Went out in the wife's 02 Cupra tonight, quick ten minute run then parked up. When I went to restart it a few minutes later it took a good few seconds to fire up, and then idled at about 2k revs. Turned the ignition off but it continued to run on for a few seconds. Started it up again with the...

Don't know if anyone can help - I've an X-reg 1.8 20VT Leon and it struggles to start in cold/wet weather - ignition seems ok but the tick-over seems like it is about to stall. The first mile of driving is disasterous - I bunny hop down the road above 2,000 rpm. On the motorway, most...
