tdi

Hi guys, Friend has a TDI which has been remapped.. Can anyone explain to why in every gear at certain RPM the engine shudders when coming onto boost? It doesn't last for every long till it runs perfect again? Almost feels like it's fueling issues.. I've got VagCom which is showing 3...

Hi all, Am looking at buying my friends company car, he's owned it from new and has covered 111,000 miles from new with full Seat history, car has always gone to seat fro every little thing. Is there any common things i should be aware of, as i've owned a PD150 MK4 golf and that was a nightmare...

Now then, I was browsing the net the other day and whilst I was on there I thought I'd check for how much cupra tdi's are advertised at/going for (my car is a 56 plate with 52k on the clock by the way) and checked a couple of valuation sites afterwards. I was pleasantly suprised to find...

I have an FR130 tdi 2006 - whilst on holiday the spanner symbol came up on the dashboard with the word "oil" next to it. When i reached my destination - i put the small amount of oil i cary round in my boot in the engine (500ml?) hoping this would top it up sufficiently to get me home. The...

Right, my turbo has blown its seals on my 04/54 Seat Ibiza Cupra Tdi 160. Seat have quoted me £1672.59 for a new one, can anybody tell me a decent place to find a reconditioned one?????

Hi, I am currently the proud owner of a Seat Leon Fr Tdi, its an 05 reg.Its a standard 150bhp. This car has got to be most washed car i have ever owned just for the fact that it is simply brightest red ever when clean. Before this i ahd a platinum grey Leon cupra tdi with a 190bhp remap...

Hi. I've been a member here for a few weeks and have had my Ibiza FR for 2 weeks now: My kids have named her "Bubbles De-Beeza" after I told them she couldn't be called "Bella"! I've been reading a lot of threads and trying to learn as much as I can from this forum. Up until a few...

Hi guys, I am new on here but wish my first topic wasnt a negative one!! Ive got a 54 reg Ibiza cupra tdi. oday I did a 90 mile round trip and when I got back to cambridge, i went down through the gears as I went round a corner about 1/2 mile from my house. I got down to 2nd, then when I...

have the usual problems as you all know when dropping your leon with the arb rubbing on the drive shaft so have decided an uprated arb is now in need, already have shortened drop links before you ask, just want that extra bit of clearance. my question is what anti roll bars do you have on...

Hi Guys, Just seeking some input although I have done some searching myself. I bought my car about a year ago and as soon as I bought it the engine management light came on. VAG-COM showed that there was an intermittant glow plug electrical fault. I've reset it a few times to see what...

I ordered an FR TDI at beginning of Feb, delivery end of April, hopefully? I just wondered if anybody has the car and if so, does it meet expectations? I have previously had a Fabia VRS, so my expectaions are high....

Has anyone tried to replace standard FR PD130 plastic pipe with the Cupra metal PD160 charge pipe?? (6LL145770B (egr to smic)) Is it a direct replacement?? Or can anyone recommend a direct fit aftermarket upgrade please! Cheers amigos

There are a couple of reasons I have been thinking about changing my 55 plate FR TDi, and one of the big ones is suspension. I find the A3 and Golf to be generally better damped and more suitable to the crap road surfaces that we all have to drive on, but I don't want to part with a big pile...

Hi, just wondering if the engine oil used in the ibiza 1.6 tdi's is called platinum? Any help would be great. Thanks

Had the car a couple of months now. Only changed a couple of things since buying it, Fabia rear wiper which is much better than the old one, full service, new front pads and discs as they were warped. These were fitted yesterday and still feel a bit spongie but need to be bedded in first...

Hello ladies & gents, Pardon me if this question has been asked a million times but I've had a quick search and can't really find anything that answers the question.... I'm wanting to remap my Ibiza but as it's the PD160 engine, will it be able to withstand extra power/torque etc or is it...

Following engine rebuild and a few more mods, initial testing of my Skoda Fabia went well and performance is pretty good. I am sure there will be more to come though once my 4 year old mapping is updated. [B)] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMCeMIPL0sY
