...just seeing clarification that that order of cyliners on the 1.8T engine is 1-4 from the left hand side of the engine, where the cam belt is? I need to replace a coilpack in cylinder 4 and have a brand new one already but am thinking of ordering another three and replacing all four in one...

Engine bay is looking pretty smart, I see you're finally getting there The coil pack cover is a nice touch...

I see the reasoning behind making your own, but I bought mine about 5 years ago, all that was required was that I glue the cloth down myself, which was the option I chose at the time Still going strong!

Couldn't perform a TB alignment as the 17967 fault code would not clear. Took it to the garage this morning and they've confirmed that the TB has gone. They tried to perform the alignment too, but couldn't get it to work. James. Thanks for the offer, but I'd already agreed to garage...

Hmm, so not something that will be causing the error, but something that needs sorting quickly. :think:

Ok, So over the last few days I've been having some issues with my Cupra. Did a VAG-COM scan and it came up with the following error: 17953 – Throttle valve controller: Malfunction P1545 – 35-00 - - Anyway after trawling through the threads on here, and taking into account advice...

No doubt I'll see you driving around Bedford... I'll keep an eye out for you :)

I don't suppose any knows what the torque setting should be for the hub nut?

It's a p/n that I got from the online catalogue that is available on VAGCat. Hopefully when I call my local VW garage tomorrow they'll be able to advise me if it's not.

As the title suggests, I have a thread on my NSF hub that has become slightly cross threaded. It did cross my mind to just by an M12 tap and try and gently re-thread it, but I thought I may as well just replace the whole item. So, as an amateur mechanic is it something I can do myself...

Wheels looks smart, did they clear the Brembo's without spacers? Looking for a set of MO's myself, but can't decide on MO5's or MO6's.

Just think of them all as various pairs of socks, you wouldn't wear the same ones all the time. ;) Nice Mk3 too, I also like the MO's on your van too, they set it off well.

I remember when I first joined back in Jul 2001, I never realised the site was so new at the time and was tiny in comparison to what it is now. There are so many members and thousands who are still active. I plan on keeping my Ibiza for as long as financially viable so will definitely need...

Just read the whole thread Jake. Very impressive especially with the amount you can do/have done yourself. Is it not completely impractical to drive though, being that low, what with many roads have speed bumps / traffic calming measures, along with the number of potholes on today's roads too?

Welcome to SCN. I spend 90% of my time over in Bedford, as that's where family and friends live. May see you around.

Standard K03 running a stage 1 map from Jabba sport. Don't have the funds to do anything yet as i'm looking to move, so i'm juggling finances while trying to keep myself from selling it. Ask me again in 12 months.. :lol:

Some serious mods going on here, I guess I can hold onto the "King of the Mk3 Ibiza Cupra in St Neots" crown for a little longer? ;)

All I was hoping to replace where the bushes and wishbones, is there anything else I should take into consideration while I'm doing it? Where did you source the Powerflex bushes from? Ta

I picked up an advisory notice after my car passed it's MOT last week and it stated the following: Nearside front (wishbone rear); Bonded suspension unit deteriorated but can function as intended. Offside front (wishbone rear); Bonded suspension unit deteriorated but can function as...

If you're referring to my signature, then no, I did have Superleggera's but changed them about 18 months ago, so I could refurbish them. Anyway I don't want to clog your build thread...
