Horrible isnt it! I only had her a week, hopefully i will grow out of it lol

Seat quoted me £290 for a belt change, when doing my research on here i found the issue with the OEM pump so will need to go back to them and ask about that! u reckon they will fit a metal impellor pump for me as i take it seat dont make one?

Unless they've said that includes the water pump as well then it won't so that will be extra. I gather the metal-impellor pumps are a third-party item so Seat will be unlikely to use those. I'd find a decent local garage, ideally one handy with VW/Audi group cars and use them instead. Think I paid about £240 for cambelt, tensioner and water pump so shop around.

oh right i think i will do that then, i would want to use a VAG specialist though, will have to have a hunt around :D

Thanks for your help, much appreciated :clap:
 
I certainly don't remember hearing the carbon canister from inside the car, certainly not with the windows shut anyway. Never read of these things failing either, no idea what's in them or how they work but I do know they're noisy. Think that was one of my first ever threads too :)

Lew, what kind of air filter have you got, have you still got the standard airbox or a cone filter? I noticed once I fitted my cone that a bit like you say, at low revs if I floor it it sounds a bit "burbly", a little bit like an Impreza (but no, nothing wrong with my coilpacks before anyone says that). That sort of thing?

EDIT - I'd get that belt done ASAP, at least for peace of mind. As for your noise, sounds like you've got the same thing I do. What about that air filter?

I believe the filter is standard aswell? havent looked though.... will give it a peep tommorow i reckon :) just been looking at someones readers ride and seen 2 guys on there who have had rods fly out of thier block from a tappy noise up top, this was another thing i noticed thought it was just noisey tappets, now this has got me thinking about me chugging noise lol GRRRR! :blink:
 
Good one isn't it, think I might have picked that one up from another thread on here somewhere tho ;)
 
Happens pretty much all the time... think its just me being silly tho! It still goes like stink so :p
