  1. Engine revs itself to redline - help!

    I found an ancient (2003) page with info on how some guy adjusted his throttle valve positioner. It seems that there's a potentiometer somewhere within the injection unit, and it dictates at what position the butterfly valve is to the ECU. I wish I could measure the output voltage from the ECU...
  2. Engine revs itself to redline - help!

    Update: I was at the mechanic's, I've replaced the oil (it was due in 600mi so I figured why not), and filters, then turned to a strange yellow paste coming from the PCV valve. The mechanic says it's just condensation, and that happens during cold/humid weather and needs to be cleaned when...
  3. Engine revs itself to redline - help!

    Update: I took a 12 volt power supply and connected it to the pins of the old actuator and it works! So, there's something else in play here. Maybe the injection unit itself is dirty or something and it gets stuck? I'm gonna try and think of something.
  4. Engine revs itself to redline - help!

    (Seat Ibiza 1995 6K 1.4 ABD) This has happened before, and I've replaced the idle air control valve 051 133 031 with a second hand one about two and a half months ago, it was actually the fourth one that worked, we unhooked the battery overnight, and let it learn to idle tomorrow morning. It...
  5. Choosing the right Leon :)

    The 2 liter is 2006 (120k miles) and the 1.9 is 2007 (112k). Thanks Ray for the input! Will look at more ads, there is a 1.6 MPI 2007 (73k), though it was sitting a while without a battery.
  6. Choosing the right Leon :)

    Well, Leons here hold their value pretty good here (as any VW related product), and their asking prices range from 3500 euros to 8500 euros (2005-2011). He's looking to spend up to 5000, but the thing is there aren't many to choose from. Almost all of them are TDIs, and we just don't know if...
  7. Choosing the right Leon :)

    My friend has been looking for a Seat Leon for some time now, I we haven't got plenty of info on it, but AFAIK it's related to the Golf MK5, and it has some reliable engines, and some that aren't. He isn't looking for performance, nor fuel economy. Gearboxes don't really matter either, just...
  8. Anyone made any custom seats?

    I've decided to replace my seats, I've done some searching and people keep saying they modified the railing mechanism, but I'm thinking if I can somehow modify the foam part of the seat to keep the original mechanism on as I don't have a welder. And what do people usually swap the original seats...
  9. Pre-facelift to facelift bumpers

    I have been searching high and low, found a Cordoba, but by the time i got there they sold them! I didn't know these cars were that popular :D So I went for a Polo 6n, the rear bumper would fit and look awesome (with a minor chop on the inner side), but the front end would need the wings too :/...
  10. Pre-facelift to facelift bumpers

    Hi everyone, my ('95)Ibiza currently has pre-facelift bumpers on, and they are in horrible condition, so I've got two options, replace them with another set of pre-facelifts, or grab a pair of facelifted ones. I personally like the look of the facelift bumpers, and am searching high and low...
  11. MPG improvement on an ABD?

    Hey everybody! I have a 95' Ibiza GLX, with a 1.4 ABD, it's been in my hands for a bit over 2 years, 121k miles. I've got mixed feelings about it, I like it and I hate it :happy: It makes basically little to no vibration, it's quiet, the services are really cheap, and it's quick until 5th...

    Hi, my name is Vedad, I'm 20, I come from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and my first car is a Seat Ibiza 6k, 1.4 ABD! I am having some issues with it, so I decided to register, and hopefully resolve them without using too much forum space! :D
