Hello All. Picked up my new car last Friday. Does anyone have any advice for how many miles I should do before I chip my car with a Superchips Bluefin? I've currently only covered about 150 miles. Also, does any one know what sort of BHP these put out as standard. The manual says 167bhp but...

Hi all, Interested in either a Mk4 FR TDI or a Mk4 Cupra TDI. Just wondering if anyones drove/owned both? and if the Cupra's worth the extra money over the FR? (insurance, tyres etc) Gonna look at a 06 very low mileage Fr and a 05 higher mileage Cupra. I do a lot of miles now and want to...

Hi All, Had a bit of a problem starting my 2.0 TDI (PD) engine today. Cranked the Car, it spluttered, and then refused to start, despite several attempts. Then the oil low warning light / alarm came on - which might not be so surprising because the car is parked on a reasonably steep...

Had the car about a month now and it's developed a very annoying vibrating rattle. It happens over rough road surfaces and also when the engine hits about 2200-2300rpm. It's driving me insane :( Just had a drive around pressing down on bits of the dash and the trim around the vents to see of...

Got out of the car last night and there was a smell like burning rubber??? I had this once before about 6 months ago Got the car up on a lift at work this morning and could not smell or see anything untoward All wheels nice and free, nothing rubbing, no oil leaks, nothing on the exhaust etc...

Just needing to clean a new head I got and remove the old gasket seal residue and a little carbon. Will 2500 wet/dry be okay without causing any damage to the mating face? Thanks

Hi. I am thinking of upgrading my 1.9tdi 100bhp to a leon. My budget is around £7000-8500. The things that are most important to me are looks (that is why I have ruled out a focus!) and reliability. I hear the 2.0tdi may not be as reliable as a 1.9. As for preformance I think a 1.9tdi...

I've been looking at the TDi FR + for some time now and am impressed at how well it seems to be holing it's value, most are £7000+ some are even £9500 but the again i've seen them at £5500 i realise that there are alot of factors to consider such as age (are they all 05) mileage, service history...

Hi Guys, Posted about the above problem I was having quite a while ago and thought it was now okay but the issue has come back. Issue is - motorway speeds - power down to overtake, car drops a gear to 5th (its DSG) and as revs increase towards 3K the car feels hesitant. power seems to be...

Pre-empting the soon-to-be purchase of a new beast i thought i'd assess the options for modifications.... I've had an open cone induction kit on my current car and enjoyed the growl (lol even though it was a 1.1i). I understand that open cones are noisier that panel filters in both petrol and...

Hi all, Does anyone have this same problem? Even in the slightest frost my front electric windows are frozen shut. The motors just do not have enough power to open them and break the seal. I have to drive for about 15 minutes until the car warms up before the seal is eventually broken and...

Hello, I've previously owned a Altea TDI (bought privately) and I want to return to the fold. I've found a Leon SE TDI/2003 (91kmiles) advertised privately locally and I was roaming through google looking for buying tips etc.. I came across the words ECU failure and worse- sticking Vanes...

Hey i have recently finished doing my stage 2 pd 130 hybrid and i am a little disappointed of my RR result! on the dyno dynamic RR i only had 215bhp with 360 lbft torque which seems low! @ CR turbo they said that the stg 2 hybrid should give between 220 to 240 bhp! i am happy with the...
