wtf

OK, it's probably my own fault for trying to save a bit of cash, but I decided to buy an iDA X-305 off ebay from China as it was a LOT cheaper. So, some of you might already know what I'm gonna say... I've already bought a Leon Mk1 harness adapter (assuming it would fit the Alpine), but as...

Where do I start. Apologies beforehand for the long post but its a long, confusing story. My girlfriend has a '53 Ibiza 1.2. In January of this year whilst driving normally the EPC light came on the dashboard and the engine wouldn't idle properly. We took it in to the local garage who plugged...

My car has been suffering with over boosting issues for the past few months so i decided to turn the little screw on the N75 to see if that would cure it which actually made it worse as the car will not boost over 0.5bar. Now that i have replace N75 my car is peaking at 1.6:wtf: Since ive...

Emptied my catch can yesterday, and the amount of crap that came out of it shocked me...all this only after 2 weeks and 450 miles :scared: ] The plastic lid is off a large 1 litre spray paint tin so the catch can was bound to of been nearly full. Check your cans regularly guys.

I've just called the local dealer for quote for 40,000 mile service. They want £430 for a few simple checks, oil and filter, new plugs, new air filter and fuel filter :wtf:. What a complete rip off [:@]. Can anyone recommend an independant SEAT garage for servicing in the South London /...

Hi, i was driving my leon on a long journey last night and the heater was on boiling hot when on LOW, HIGH or anything inbetween. Anyone got any ideas why this happens or what causes the problem? After i got back in the car after 4 hours all was fine again - WTF? Adam

right iv not that long ago bought a leon tdi 130 with some linglong 205/55/16 tyres fitted to the front, now my problem is that in second and third gear when the turbo kicks in (not even hard acceleration) the traction controll light goes mad and if i turn it off i start to slide all over the...

ok, they're not allen or torx, they are finer than torx, any ideas? i need to take the drive shaft out to undo the last bolt on my sump.

well after spending 2 hours getting greased up to hell changing what i thought was a dodgy cv joint, test drive and hey presto........ the noise is still there so on a right turn, fairly slowly i get a rumbling sound occasional pops from underneath when sharp turn at crawling speed what...

heres some pics of a random device hanging down under my steering column, its a small press button switch with 5 red led lights on it, connected by a ribbon cable that runs behind the centre console. anyone know wtf it is? or even better what it does?

The Pd160 intake is now like £49.40 and the adaptor is £13.09 according to my local dealer this cant be right surely?

Dear readers Had my Leon FRTDI for one week and its been fantastic. Except for today that is... I have only done 500 miles including a trip to the coast and commutes on the motorway, yet to my horror the DPF warning came on today, shortly thereafter car went into limp mode... crazy...

Hi, Not been on a while as my car is being good and I'm merrily thrashing it about the countryside..... But the other day the car beeped at me - an angry beeping that freaked me out. I think I've narrowed it down to the brakes. I think. Sometimes, with no specific pattern, there's a...

Firstly, from the throttle body what is the best length for the intake tube before a cone filter - does it make a difference, can i achieve a pulsing or ram effect? Secondly, i am replacing the rubber 'gay' hose with a stainless 'sexy' steel one, do i have to incorporate the oil breather...

Hiya everyone, A week ago I've ordered some spacers and now I've finally got a chance to fit them. They are 4x100 20mm hubcentric spacers. I took off the rear wheel, slid the spacer on but there is a 3mm gap between the spacer and the wheel?? The bore is correct but its catching on the...

I've got an 06 face lift Ibiza FR TDi and the fuse that supplies the power to the electric mirrors (Fuse 11 on the board) blew about 3 weeks ago so i took it into franics as at this point i wasnt sure what it was. They told me it was just a fuse and they had replaced it and would be ok now...

You realise since Top gear finished - there's nothing on TV.. And then you turned off the forums......... Jasus - i had to talk to the future Mrs. Tam ...... and that's not a nice experience on a Sunday night, coz it generally involves moaning ... and weddings... (shudder!) Good...
