Mk 4 tyers + tracking

[ibiza fr]

Hi, has anybody that has an Ibiza fr noticed both front tyers wearing on the inside ?. The suspension has not been modified in any way. It also runs in a straight line with out pulling to one side, and the tyers are at the correct pressure. Any ideas ?.

 

[simon34]

think thats quite common on ibiza's

 

[Mr Cellotape]

Yep, it does it on my Cupra, i've had it tracked several times, tried different tyres, even tried swapping the fronts over at 10K.

given up now, it must have a pre-set camber on the front.

It'll be fooked bushes matey, have them checked, as mine went after only 15k miles, but people noticed them at 8k miles. so get them checked (front lower control arm bushes.)

 

[Mr Cellotape]

Thanks for that Triple D, its in for a service Monday.

They can take a look then, as well as the service, pink callipers (should be red) and the climate control that doesn't like warm/moist weather.

mine have done this aswell, the outer bit of the tyre was low, but the inside had gone bald!! had read soemthing on here a while back about mk4's having excessive inner tyre wear!

Yep, my first set of tyres were dead at about 18K, even though the middle and outer edges still had at least 4-5mm.

You having it serviced at Listers then matey? bet thats gonna sting you a tad had my brakes and fluids changed on saturday inc labour cost £105 from a company that i use in coventry. Dam sight cheaper than Listers, and also had my 20k service there aswell, which only cost £90 inc parts and labour which imho is a bargain.

Yep all done at Listers, 250 all in including use of poxy 1.2 reference bezza for the day.....

I've probably just upset someone with that one so i'll say sorry now.

They did the 30K service including brake fluid, then offered to do the front pads and disks for another 300.........

Needless to say i'll get them done when they need doing.

Waiting to here what there gonna do with my pink callipers, they said they have sent photos to SEAT UK for discussion............. still waiting.

 

[Triple D]

Do you have msn matey? pm me

I think the pink callipers are another 'feature'......

ie. we don't want to pay for them

Same as the rear disks being knackered after 18K

 

[Triple D]

yep the rears are poop, i got some new ones for £40 inc pads.

 

[Guinness]

OI I have a 1.2

 

[davels]

bushes checked and a good 4 wheel alignment needed me thinks, most places only check and change the toe settings, 4 wheel alingment can't sort all sorts of probs out, uneven wear, ofset steering, pulling to one side etc.. it help on my FR anyways

 

[Mr Cellotape]

OI I have a 1.2

Sorry, i knew i'd have to say that again

Ps thanks Davels, SEAT checked it and said it was fine, so i'll wait another couple of months then re-assess it, if it's still a problem ill go and see them again.

 

[Diablo559]

i got charged 240 pound for my second service had to get the brake fluid changed they then told me i need brake pads .going to get them myself do any of you know how much seat charge for brake pads. i also have the pink caliper feature not good

 

[davels]

SEAT said it was normal on mine as well but when i took it to a specialist they said the don't have the apperatus to check it properly either, also when they did do mine they told me that all the "cambers bolts" (think thats right )were left loose by SEAT, but best bet is to see ow it goes matey

 

[Triple D]

Well my 20k service cost me £90 and that was with seat parts aswell

My front tyres are wearing low on the inside and only done 16K, need to get a new set and tracking this weekend. From reading this it seems to be a common issue
