You know you have a MK4 Ibiza when...

[St3f!]

you can go for a swim in your headlights!

Can get them aftermarket, got one but not fitted yet.

I shouldn't have to. My Lupo had one, our Mini had one. Talk about a backward step!

Just thought of another MK4 quirk - Windscreen washer bottle cap that doesn't stop on and it's under the wing - WTF?

The dash makes the loudest pant-soiling bleep when ur low on fuel, always makes ur blood freeze its so scary. Below 4 degrees a wee bell goes off, similar to inside a plane cabin when its time to fasten ur seatbelt.

The low petrol bong in the newer models is a lot quieter

My old 1.4 used to scare the crap out of me though

if your lucky enough to have one

The wishbone bushes break away easily cause they're full of voids and the direct replacements have the exact same problem!

buy the cupra version then? solid and much better handling too only about £16? ish

 

[pete88]

the window regulators break
the coil packs fail (does say MADE IN ITALY on the box)
on some of them the fuel gauge go the wrong way (winds me up with the different ibizas i drive)

But when they fail... Seat replace them again with the crap ones.

...when you lend it to someone and they run it out of fuel.

"But the gauge says full!" Read it again, fool!

 

[Octane2097]
