Hi, we have had some oil sensor issues and the weather coupled with work has stopped us from really spending time on it.
Battery isolator is now in so the car can be left for long periods, and I'm looking to swap the rear glass with plastic in the springs but the next job really needs to be the...
Hi all, the car has moved on a bit since my last post.
The current position is:
Coilovers fitted
Rear, boot, roof and floor stripped out
AC pump and pulley deleted
Car handles great, brakes need work because they are old and pitted and the fluid is probably knackered.
My question is on the...
Hi guys.
I've got an issue which I'm struggling to diagnose so I'm desperate for some guidance on the next steps.
I have a 2002 20VT Cupra which had a top end engine failure last year. New engine sourced and is now in the car but an odd fault has arisen after fitting,
The car won't...
Do you have a quick hit list of what I can remove in the engine compartment?
Because I'm gutting the cabin I'm afraid the car may be a very nose heavy.
So far only all I've removed is the bonnet insulation and the AC compressor is going next.
I think the front fogs will go and I'll vent...
Thanks guys that is exactly my plan - light weight track but need an mot.
Those poly kits looks great and precautions is easy but I've got access to 4mm polycarbonate sheets which I can cut myself for pennies. Did you bond them into the window frames? This is my thinking, so I can completely...
Good thinking. I think it's the wheel airbag that trips it but I'll fit a resistor to trick the ECU light.
Currently the car is OEM (knackered) chassis, but running sticky Toyo r1r rubber. A disc/pad upgrade is first on the agenda, then a suspension refresh and bush replacement would be next...
Thanks Andrew!
Looks like the 6PK1120 is the one I need.
Yeah I'll take the dash off and remove what I can like the airbags, the radio and changer are already gone, any sounds deadening and wiring I don't need will go too. I'll have to get some pics sorted when I start.
Do you have any tips...
Hi all,
I have a 2002 Leon Cupra which a few mates and I bought cheap with the intention of using for track days. It's a fab car, and we really chuffed with it - it's almost too nice to use!
So far I've done some mechanical bits like the timing kit/water pump and flushed the oil ways...
Hi all.
I've noticed tonight that when I turn the car off and lock the doors, after 30 or so seconds the instrument panel lights up and doesn't go off.
The battery has been in the car standing for about 9 months but it's been charged and the engine starts on the button.
Any ideas...
Hi my 2002 Cupra 20vt failed its mot because of a broken Spring.
I bought one from a motor factor, box label is lesjofors 4282910.
I fitted it yesterday and haven't done any miles on the car (maybe it will settle) but it's a bit higher on this side now.
Can anyone confirm I have the...
Hi guys first post!
I've recently bought a cheap mk1 cupra 180 which I'm planning to strip out and use for track days.
I've got a few questions hopefully someone here can help me with...
There is no battery in the key, so when I lock the drivers door the LED flashes, however when I...
