Hi lads. I had to clean out my EGR at 63k miles as it was in a state. I did clean in around the seat of the valve to let it sit back down and seal. I have had the car remapped since and EGR code mapped out and turned down to 1% function (but I have disconnected it). Here's a pic - if...

Hi lads. What is the ET of the Leon FR+ Alloys? (below) Want to fit spacers and need to know this. Thanks Darren

Over the past 6 months I have been hearing a rattle from what I think is the clutch release bearing. It has got a good bit louder lately. If I rest my foot on the clutch pedal it goes away. Am I right in thinking it's the clutch release bearing? Car has covered 72k miles. Thanks lads.

Hi lads I want to get some wheel spacers on as I can't lower the car yet because I drive on bad roads that are already scraping the LCR splitter. But I do want to try to push out the wheels so they don't look so lost in the arches. I was wondering what size would suit. I have the...

I noticed lately with the window down that I can hear the dics catching a bit. I jacked up the front wheels and spun the wheels and it is catching a bit. I tried tapping the pads lightly with a hammer and a wide bar to help release and dirt and this hasn't helped. There's plenty pad left...

I have a lad selling me a LCR interior - front and back seats. Question is - is the airbag connection under the two front seats the same as in all Leons, mine is a Cupra TDI? Thanks

I posted in the TDi Tuning section but got no response. I know some of you have catch cans fitted. I was wondering what size the pipes on the catch can have to be so I can run a pipe from the crankcase breather to it. I want to keep the same size pipe as the pipe from CCV to Turbos inlet...

I want to install a catch can on my pd150. Any recomendations or anyone done this? What diameter pipe will have to be on the can? Thanks

Hi guys, I changed the Temperature Sensor over to the green one a while ago. I notice that the car still takes a long time to heat up, wheareas before, when the OEM black one was working, as soon as it lifted from 60 celsius it would go up to 90 fairly quickly and smoothly. Now it can fall...

Hi guys, When I'm going 40mph or over and I turn to the left with the curve in the road I hear a sort of humming that's slowly becoming slightly more a grating sound. Car has 68k miles done. I might have hit a pothole and dented the race of the wheel bearing. Any thoughts? AM I...

Hi lads, I want to look into a custom back box / muffler and I have found a company that will make me up a box and have said that I can pick the exhaust tip I like and they will match it. They apparently have 100's to choose from! Here is a pic of my car from the rear There's...

Hi Guys, I've been modding my TDI Cupra for a good while now, I want to get better air flow going, I smoothed the air box already, and I can hear more turbo spool now and crisper diverter valve sound. I love the Carbonio Cold Air Intake, but it's very dear. I rekon a D.I.Y. jobbie would do...

Just want to get some ideas for sealing up the intercooler pipes, i'm on standard map but it peaks at 24psi with decat, egr disconnect and smoothed airbox. I've put heavy duty cable ties on, took em off there lately because I wanted to take off pipes, clean up joints and see if I could seal...

I have a black magic cupra and am looking to kit her out with white lights. I have white LED sidelights and like them on the black car. White dips and foglights would be the biz I'd say. Any recommendations?

So Millers isn't burned and re-enters into the inlet mani from egr, thus cleaning both? My vac pipe to egr is blanked off - waste of time and money?

Where would be the best place to attach the pipe from the gauge to the engine?

Hi I was thinking about how I would go about stopping the cake up in the EGR and Inlet Mani. I have to clean out the Inlet Mani yet as there is so much crap in it that the engine is hunting on start up. The egr is cleaned out and I went in as far as I could in the inlet mani but as I...

Right - cleaned MAF as the car seemed to be going from running lean to hearing a 'click' and then pouring out blueish fuelly smelling smoke. Got into the car and in LIMP MODE + engine management light - dead maf? No tc light

I want to get around to replacing the intercooler and pipes. There is nowhere in Ireland that sells after-market ones so the Net is my only option. This one's for the MK 4 GOlf TDI...

Found this on the net, Very good illustrated guide on fixing and maintaining turbo's. It has inspired me to tighten up my own clamps and seek more leaks check it out! http://www.thumper300zx.com/z32/boostleaks/boost_leak_guide.htm
