    Scangauge MAP problems

    Just installed a scangauge, mainly to check boost levels on, and it seems to always show the MAP as 37.4. I tried coding the xgauge using settings I found on here, but that reads 22 all the time? I also coded the bhp gauge and that wont go over 143, should be more around the 200 mark...

    Hottuning / Ta Technix Coilovers - Fitting problems?

    Hmm when i tried putting mine together i found that the mount, bearing and cone, alll stacked together were too tall to sit on the top of the shock. ie, you ran out of threaded part and couldn't get the nut on. Even tried with no spring fitted to check it wasn't because i hadn't compressed it...

    Hottuning / Ta Technix Coilovers - Fitting problems?

    Its advised you change your topmount bushes and bearings. If you get new ones of these you build the front struts up before you have to take anything off the car. That way you can post pics up and see what we all make of them lol :shrug: I had hottuning coilovers on my leon, and couldn't...

    Hottuning / Ta Technix Coilovers - Fitting problems?

    Oh yeh obviously they have the lil bracket welded on for the arb, and i do mean just a random bracket welded on lol. Proper coilovers should fit as per the OEM springs though, as antnee showed in his pics the correct springs are large enough to seat on the bearing. Same with my gmax's.

    Hottuning / Ta Technix Coilovers - Fitting problems?

    That looks like what they're doing then. Like I said I'm fairly sure the ones they sell as for the beezas are the same as the Leon ones. So looks as though they're just including an additional progressive spring to combat the fact the other springs dont fit our bearings lol

    Hottuning / Ta Technix Coilovers - Fitting problems?

    Yeh thats how they should come, the spring should be considerably larger diameter than it is. I don't know if everyone has had this problem with the TA coilovers but it does seem to be an awful lot of people who they didn't fit smoothly for....

    Hottuning / Ta Technix Coilovers - Fitting problems?

    I had these before, and the problem is if you try to assemble them properly, so from the floor up; spring, cone, bearing, top mount - the shock isn't long enough to bolt up, even with the spring fully compressed. So I had mine without the bearing, just resting the cone inside the topmount. Not...

    intake pipe PD130

    Diesel or petrol? Some parts of the engines are changed slightly so you're better off looking for leon/golf/a3 bits. Ibiza is to corboda as Leon is to Toledo you see.

    Spring fitting

    Line it up so it sits in the top of the hub. Put a jack under the ball joint and jack the hub up, should slide in.

    Help. Brakes not working. Seems like ABS problem.

    If the fuse has gone it would stop it working rather than make it work too much.... Also i think that abs might be on a mega-fuse under the bonnet anyway. Best to check it with vag-com, see if there's any faults. Check wheel speed sensors are reading correctly as an intermittant fault may...

    cupra tdi problem!

    Yeh its normally MAF faults on these engines, see if you can get it on vag-com and use measuring blocks to see what its reading. Or failing that, unplug it and see how it changes.
