    Mats Mk3 Arctic Ibiza Cupra

    Theres a Black vac pipe coming off it which goes to the electronic pressure sensor for the boost gauge. And the pipe won't go onto the T-piece anymore than it is, trust me :D

    Need An Oil Temp Sender

    I'd nip down if you can. A picture or a part in this case tells a thousand words. Its the extra bit of the sender after the threads that causes the problems with getting an adaptor for it.

    Need An Oil Temp Sender

    The sender is currently near the washer bottle and charcoal filter area. Strange of Carlton Hydraulics to be like that, there mobile fitter I spoke to when we serviced his van was very helpful, and was positive they'd have something in the shop that would fit it. As I even drew diagrams etc...

    Cupra Badge/Grille

    It has been repainted before Mat, I did it when I first got it 2 years ago with some base coat and no lacquer, hence it wore off as no protection for the base coat. I just used a tooth pick and some paint, doesn't take long to do and works out alot cheaper than replacing the grills. On...

    TT Shifter?

    Best place is an Audi dealer, as it may be brand inhibited to other VAG manufacturers, meaning that they can't order it. It's around £20-25 for the TT shifter.

    TT Shifter?

    Thats the one, it definetly fits, just compare the length of the connectors that connects it to the gear cables, then set it up roughly when you fit it. Then check where abouts the gear lever sits inside the car and adjust the connector so the lever sits central.

    TT Shifter?

    Ask user Mat@SWS to check through his receipts for the part number, as i recently fitted one to my old car and the receipt for it is in the car handbook pack.

    daft question (HIDs)

    The fogs are single filament bulbs and are something like HB3 or HB4, the ones with plastic connector built into the bulb IIRC. Where as the H4 are twin filament, i.e hi and lo beam. Would be easy enough to do, but I'd recommend taking the bumper off to ease the mounting of the ballasts...

    Few things. Just had my car back

    Also make sure all your coil packs are fully pushed onto your plugs, I had this issue when one of my coilpacks was raising due to the air below it expanding with heat. Was a cheap and easy fix for me, it maybe the case for you.

    Gearbox problem**UPDATE WITH PICTURES**

    VAG work it so that any parts replaced under warranty are only covered until the warranty runs out, so if a part is replaced 2 month before the end of warranty, that part is still only covered til the end of the warranty. Parts only gain the 1 year parts warranty when the customer has...

    80k main dealer service...steep!

    You got bummed big style!!! They have charged you around 2.8 hours labour (£180) for just the service. There is a maximum of about 1.5hours for the service and bulb. Should have come to a maximum total with brake fluid change and parts of around £185 +vat. Also I'd be enquiring how they...

    how can i remove badge letters from boot?

    Hair drier or heat gun and pull them up from the edge, should be able to all the adhesive off with the badge then, any remaining adhesive should then just rub off.

    Gauges help!

    They are Prosport Electronic stepper motor gauges from xyberautos.com link HERE. Great gauges can be illuminated white or orangey/red which matches original dash illumination rather well.
