Hose lose?
- Thread starter Poochy
- Start date
Hoses checked and undertray taken off but all pipes seem to be intact. Taking the car back to the garage monday.
It drives ok upto to 2,000revs then it feels like I've just suddenly put an elephant on my car and it becomes very heavy and revs struggle to rise.
Still pipes? Or is this more of a turbo problem :/

No lights on the dash and no fault codes found. No excess smoke or discoloured smoke.
Sounds like a lose pipe, which I'm thinking is behind my bumper, like cupra al stated. Got a ticket noise now as well near my fan belt, cars on 63000 so that's due for a change soon, I believe?
And like you said its seems like limp mode, seems as the car runs fine if kept under 2000revs, any more and it makes more of a whistle than a howling wolf lol
Defo going back in garage monday to have it fully inspected.
Thanks for trying to help both

Does the whistle sound like a police siren when you're reving? Just trying to tick off possibilities but the siren noise is the sound of a failing turbo
It kinda does sound like that, I hear it more when I'm slowly taking off, probably due to the engine being quiter though I suppose. Not what I want to hear 
Changing the MAF at the moment, seems all pipes are intact. But little google research said that could be a sign of a failing turbo too. I thought it would be smoking a lot if it was the turbo?
Really hope its not

Could be lots of different things, vanes might be sticking.
But at your mileage it shouldn't be any of the above unless your unlucky.
Did you check the pipe that bolts onto the bottom of the turbo?

Haha, but then I woould need a new clutch, flywheel, hoses
Tbh makes me feel like fixing it and selling it now
You don't need to do all that now, just get the Hybrid and upgrade over the months.
Unless you want to straight swap with me? Mines Hybrid and all upgraded to work with it
Sorry to butt in, but this thread along many others is making me **** myself about my cupra tdi
Nothing but threads of turbos going at all sorts of milage
My car is always warmed and cooled down correctly and never ragged until warmed up
Oil change always carried out on time if not before with correct spec, but just know this wil happan to me as well
Are these turbos prone to going or something ? always hearing about them going and im sure the owners are just as careful as me, making me want to sell my car before it happans to me

No problem and thanks.
Well I've had the car since 22000, serviced it every 10,000 at seat dealership with seat parts, warmed up and cooled down properly, and always used the rev range from 2,250-4,000revs, so i think it was just the luck of the draw.
I wouldn't be put off too much, because it is a fantastic car, but just keep treating it well and hopefully you'll avoid the turbo going.
Dunno what caused my problem.

your only ever going to read about things going wrong go on any car forum and i should think it will be the same all cars go wrong new and old doesnt make them weak or anything.
going to a seat dealership doesnt make your car less likely to go wrong just means you spend more on essentially the same thing as what any other garage could/would do.
