Hi,
I've a couple of questions, I'm sure they are common faults, but I'm new to the Cupra/1.8T lump.
It is really not happy from cold, starts fine and revs up ok, but try to engage some sort of forward momentum and it just bogs down when the clutch is released, give it a bit of just keep trying to get it moving and it's fine, only takes 200 yds to clear. i wouldn't worry, but it seems to be getting worse on a daily basis.
Sensor is my best guess, any suggestions what one?
Second question, It feels like the rear end is slightly detached, go over a bumpy road or even lumpy cats eyes and it feels like the car is jumping across the road sideways.
It's been suggested the wishbone bushes tend to wear causing this? Again, any suggestions?
It's a 2001 1.8T cupra, utterly boringly standard at the mo.
Stu.
