    Does this sound like a leak?

    Put stock airbox back on and no BOV so does this sound like an air leak on lift off or is that just normal turbo noise?

    Couple of annoying problems

    So bought a "project" cupra, thinking wouldn't be too hard to get on the road. How wrong was I?!?!

    Clutch pedal

    Hi, Bought a mk1 cupra, needs work doing to it so slowly working through the list.

I have used vag com and it says only 1 key is set which I assume is the original, but it won't let me change it to 2 (free version). Does...

    My MK1 Leon Sport/SE

    So I have had many cars before, my last one being a MK4 Golf GTTDI (PD150) but missed the petrol so got a Leon 1.8T. It had faulty KO3 replaced with a KO3S and is much better now although still needs work. It had the wheels and was lowered when I got it but want to change the wheels.

    Sluggish

    Bought my Leon MK1 1.8T (APP) last week and needs a bit of work. Car seems to be slow accelerating especially in 5th and 6th gear at 4k rpm it seems to hesitate and take an age to go up.
