fell out of love with mine. Had it about 5 years now, ready for a change. Love the fuel economy & driving it in a straight line, plus cabin & boot space are great (1.9tdi). But that's it. Can't see anything when trying to reverse, or corner. Pants in the snow, slides all over the place. Stupid...
I started to look at this - jacked car up, found I'd not got a large enough star bolt to undo the bottom strut bolt, got the face on when I realised it'd be more complicated than I thought (fed up with car costing me money) so told our lass "can't be ar53d, let the garage fix it". Boy, should I...
is it a simple job to change the front coil springs on an Altea (2005 1.9 TDi). Had one replaced under warranty last year, but now the other's gone. Done it on my wife's Scenic & my old Beezer, so think I have the tools necessary - will I find any surprises? No special tools needed? cheers

I've just started to notice a very quiet 'tap-tap-tapping' noise when I have the fan/heater blowing. Anyone else had this & know what it is? Don't fancy pulling the dash apart if it's nothing to worry about.....
noticed it a couple of times now. When I have the wipers on intermittent, when they reach the bottom of the down sweep, they sometimes pause for a couple of seconds before sweeping back up. Anyone else had this problem & know how to stop it?
