It has a number on the side which matches up to the airbag control module - I spent ages looking for one with same number but luckily one from same engine coded car worked - if that makes sense.
If it is the side impact sensor, easy to change - lift up the carpet in the footwell - it's held in with two Allen key bolts - unplug and plug replacement in, clear fault code.
Make sure you keep battery disconnected whilst working on it.
If you get a second Hand sensor it will have to be from...
Is there likely to be any other surprises on the MOT if you put it through? It's going to be worth more with an MOT.
I am in same situation my LC is gathering dust but just doing an odd repair here or there so I can get an MOT on it to enable a sale - don't want to get rid of it however it's...
If I was you I'd go with the cupra. I'd hold off on mods until you build up some no claims bonus as it will increase your insurance.
The insurance quotes are already pretty much the whole value of the car. Have a play around with some options for some reason my renewal was cheaper to park car...
Hi sorry not been on the forum much for a while as have SORN my Leon and using my other cars more, don't think I did ever take any pics - looks very similar to the pics at the start from the vw forum.
I still don't have vagcom or similar so can't provide concrete evidence just the same opinion...
Going back a fair few years to one of my original threads on here however to update I have just fixed the problem. Lived with it for a few years then change in MOT legislation and my cupra being SORN meant I didn't do anything with it. However now fixing it up again, and decided to tackle the...
There is part of me which is considering making my LC a track toy aswell currently SORN and sat in my garage. What sort of ££ would it take to complete basic mods mentioned to make it track ready ?
Yep not mapped and stock exhaust and the older bumpers.
Matt very good point hadn't thought about a test drive.
I think getting an MOT on it is the right thing to do, and you guys are right allways way more attractive to buyers.
It's hard to put a value on a car when it has a lot of...
Bouncerbeater what would you put a value on it as? Spec as per my signature? I'm guessing the car is worth as much as anyone is willing to pay but I don't have an idea of what they are going for these days.
Thanks, it has been regularly serviced by myself so probably better quality care taken than a dealer. I think it's around 110k miles but then I haven't driven it recently so can't remember exactly.
Sounds like there still could be money made after gettin it through the MOT.
If only I had the...
It has come the time where I may finally have to say goodbye to my 2001 180 Cupra.
For no other reason except that I currently have too many cars and could do with the garage space. :(
Currently the car is garaged, SORN and has no MOT.
I am wondering whether it would be worth me...
