Hi, sure its been asked before but I couldn't find it. How do I deactivate the alarm on my Seat Ibiza FR 1.8T on an 05 plate so I can work on it. It keeps self arming itself. I looked in the handbook and I can only deactivate the interior sensors but I will have the bonnet up so I presume it...

In case anyone ends up doing the same as me and needs the same new part it has been fitted and done about 1,000 miles with no problems

You’ve done some great work on the FR especially love the seats as the stock ones are poor. When are you planning on doing the 312mm brake upgrade or did I miss it in the previous posts? That’s my next upgrade as I’ve tried rebuilding the stock brakes with new pads, discs and fluid and they are...

Has anyone used these guys for supplying parts: WWW_lotte_de on eBay based in Germany? I am struggling to find a used wheel bearing housing for my 2005 FR 1.8T and this popped up on eBay.

When I took my 1.8T FR Ibiza apart last weekend the short ones were in the bottom (I think!) and the long at the top. Oh and I sheared the bolts for the caliper brackets putting it back together so now have to find a replacement wheel bearing housing :-( Pretty sure they will only fit one way...

Cheers for the link, that's a darn good starting point and will be useful for future reference as well :-)

OK, thought I would do a bit of a refurb job on the front brakes as they looked scruffy and weren't performing very well. To cut a long story short one of the threads stripped when putting back on the caliper mounting bracket so now I have to source a used (or cheap new) wheel bearing housing...

Cheers for that Cheshire Cat but I didn't think that the Haynes manual covered the FR?

Anyone? I did a search on here and that didn't give me anything and the Haynes manual doesn't cover the FR so not sure where to turn to next.

Hi, just bought my first Seat a 2005 FR 1.8T (petrol) and one of the first jobs is to change the CV joint on the nearside. I have seen the Seat Leon guidance posted elsewhere but will the hub nut torque settings be any different on my car? Think they were tighten to 200 then back off half a turn...

Hi, picking up an 05 Seat Ibiza FR tonight. Am I allowed on here or will I be looked down on not having the Cupra version?? To be fair its putting out more hp than a Cupra but I guess there's not many standard Ibiza Cupra's out there :p Cheers, Mike
