    Pre-facelift Bi-Xenon Headlight Conversion?

    Managed to get a hold of a pair of Bi-Xenon headlight units for my 2011 Ibiza. I cannot find any info online on how to convert over and anyone I’ve spoken to says don’t waste your time, buttt I’m a bit stubborn and want to make it work. There must be someone on here that’s done it?! Maybe...

    2.0tdi Idle Issue

    So, my 2.0tdi Ibiza has an odd idle issue, where when I depress the clutch, my revs are not dropping to the usual 900rpm straight away, but is sticking at 1200rpm before eventually falling to 900rpm if I come to a complete stop. It is making slowing down an issue as the engine is still racing...

    2.0tdi Turbo Upgrades?

    Looking around for a turbo upgrade to produce roughly 220-240hp on my 2.0tdi, without paying the ridiculous Darkside prices on the kits they offer. At the moment, I’ve only really found one contender which is the XMAN GTC1556vz Hybrid Turbo, and wondered if anyone has pushed decent power out of...

    Maxton Design Side Skirt Extension Installation?

    Just got myself a set of Maxton Design Side Skirt Extensions and looking for a bit of advice. The instructions say to use a bit of sealant/glue along with the self tappers that come with it, but the sealant seems like a bit of overkill. Just wondered if anyone has installed them and could give...

    So I’m looking to make my own custom diffuser fin extensions. Was hoping somebody would have recommendations of what material/where to buy the resources.

    Rear Bumper Reflector Removal?

    Just wanted to know if removing the two lower rear reflectors was a case of popping them out of the bumper with a bit of force or if there is a screw up inside the back of the bumper which needs to be taken out before they can be removed? Cheers!

Flashing glow plug light and engine management light, scanned with a basic diagnostic tool came back with the P2100 Throttle Actuator Circuit Open.

I’m assuming its...

    Mk5 Ibiza 6j 2.0tdi FR

    Hey everyone, been a member on the site since I picked up my Ibiza just around a year ago and never thought to create a thread until now. Seeing as though the 2.0tdi ibizas are a dying breed, I thought I’d see if I could find some other owners or people interested in them. Few modifications...

    Hey guys, got a small annoyance which keeps occurring recently. It’s a hit and miss when it happens, but on my 2.0tdi it sometimes doesn’t turn off in a smooth manner and sounds quite heavy and very sudden, while other times it sounds gradual and gentle while cutting the ignition. Don’t really...
