    Replacing rear wheel bearings yourself? How easy is it?

    Rear wheel bearings hardest bit is pulling them off, I had to cut my rear one not damaging the stub axel.

    Where can i find a cupra bumper facelift/pre facelift?

    How much cheaper do you want? that sounds pretty fair. You will get one cheaper but it will probably end up being a fibreglass copy.

    stupid washer pipes

    I used heatshrink when mine broke exactly there! I also bought the whole replacment pipe that just cant be done with the engine in! Ever splice the hole (which isnt easy as its corregated pipe and not rubber tipped like at other joints) or just heatshrink it and be done with it.

    Advice Wanted - Kwik Fit Related - Oil Leak Following Service..

    You always put a new O ring on the oil filter houseing the plastic. If it were myself I would go along with the parts ie a new filter and show them that they have failed to do the job properly and that you want your money back as you are going to re-do the job. If they cant change an o-ring...

    Should I swap?

    Well Cupra bumpers wouldnt fit the FR without work as the SMIC would be an issue. The 1.4 petrol wouldnt have this issue. I would also buy second hand bumpers to cut the cost down. With painting you should be able to get both done for £400 ish. If it were me I would go for a 1.9 model even...

    Cupra TDI turbo problem

    Could it not just be the boost hose. Turbo isnt really that high up on the block.

    oops! Splattered a fox....

    Sorry my bad I meant pre-facelift. So would be a straight fit. I will check what bits I have and that its still in good nick (its in the loft). I would be after £60 for it and could meet you some of the way (courier would probably be expensive). A facelift bumper is a straight fit to yours...

    PD100 DMF & Clutch Replacement

    Pretty sure the PD100 is a single mass fly wheel from standard. So it may well just be a release bearing.

    Stuck on brake discs and pads

    Dont upgrade to 312mm on a 1.2 its a huge waste on a car that is much better on braking due to weight. To be honest get good pads and discs avoid the likes of the cheap jap makes, if your using it for road use it wont really matter too much. Mintex would be my bet out of that list.

    Just broken down need advise please

    Doubt it will be the alt, you can test this easily enough with a multimeter however and check the red battery light comes on on the dash. It could be a coilpack although the symptoms sounds slightly different to usually expected or a belt thats slipped. If you can get access to vagcom...

    Gearbox oil change

    May vary on different models as Im sure it was a 17 on mine and the others 2 I have done it on. I know for instance all the brake disc retaining screws are now torx rather than phillips that they used to be when I bought the car. I was told by a director at a local car plant (mentioning no...

    Power Steering Fluid leak

    Worth checking the alternator. I had similar symptoms with the load signal wire (worth a check when you do your box oil as its there). If the wire is broken can make the alternator not kick in until you hit 4k revs. My power steering light used to come on as yours did. Just check the battery...

    Gearbox oil change

    If you are referring to my comment it is from experience, having done about 7 or 8 box oil changes on SEAT ibizas. I have found without ramps it can often be difficult to get the fill plug out, so just make sure you get that removed before undoing the drain plug. Steps are: Remove drain...
