Evening all. Our mk5 has a leaking washer bottle. Anyone know how to get at it so I can plug the leak? Is from under the car? Cheers Jon Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Well its been a while since I first reported this fault and to be honest I've done nothing with it. The wife is very patient and luckily has air con!!! I'm no closer to a solution other than to keep the window fuse removed. I'm going to actually look into this now and see if I can get it...

So my local independent is telling me the cam belt on the wife's 1.9tdi 09 Ibiza is overdue as the car is now 6 years old. Thing is it's only got 50k on it. I ran my Leon 1.9pd to 70k before changing with no problems. I know it's a loaded question but is changing the cam belt at 50k a little...

Yeh I think I'll try that 1st.

Reservoir definitely behind the inner wheel arch?

The wife's car has sprung a leak. A tell tail little puddle by the front left wheel coming from behind the wheel arch. It's coincided with her (well, me) constantly filling the washer bottle. Is the main bottle behind the inner wheel arch? Cheers Jon.

Interesting. The wife says she was getting no response from the indoor switch but could get the window up (in fits and starts) using the key fob. Not quite sure what that means.

Perfect, Cheers Deano. Yeh 49 is the one. Pulled it and isolated both windows. Is there a common known issue here with the windows? Car is 2009 SC 1.9TDi

Evening all, The wifes Mk 5 3dr has started messing about today. The Drivers side window is up and down with a mind of its own. Im guessing theres some water ingress somewhere. I can't really get to look at it properly and neither can our garage for a few days, but is there a way of...

53 plate Tdi 130, 123500 so far. Engine still runs very strong but I've had a couple of minor issues over the years - thermostat, seized rear calliper, central locking playing up a little, drivers side window mechanism has just failed, both front door leak, oh and the radio isn't that great. To...

They aquaplane in in the wet and are terrible in the snow. Nice and grippy in the dry though obviously.

Probably best to take the advice and not really use it. I think I'd be tempted to get a set of more standard wheels as the low profiles are stupidly expensive and terrible in bad weather.

Hi all, bit of an odd one this but here goes. We're on holiday in France and were planning on doing about 1250 miles in our 2nd week in our 09 MK5. We had a small vibration on the front wheels so I popped into a local garage to get it checked only for them to discover a huge ding/crack on...

Right, turned out that the bearing had pretty much failed taking the hub carrier and warping the brake disc too. All have been replaced and made hell of a difference to how the car feels and sounds, ie it's pretty quiet once more.

Thats interesting, my local specialist is going to have a look. I've done wheel bearings in the past and not enjoyed it too much.

Hi all, I Have a MK1 Leon Tdi 130 on a 53 plate with 96k on the clock. Lately i've been getting a rubbing sound from the front left when it's loaded up, ie, turning right. It's more noticable at speed and makes no real noise at walking speed on full lock, anty ideas? Also under breaking...

Hi, I've got a 53 Mk1 130 TDi with 94k on the clock and over the last few months it's started to feel nervous (for want of a better description) under breaking from anything above about 45mph. I can feel the front end judder very slightly through the steering wheel and the break pedal. It...

I'm guessing the Seat branding replaces the Thule branding when bought from the dealer?

Point taken.

They look pretty good. Where did you get your roof bars from and what make?
