Im going to ressurect this thread. I'm just about to fit new wishbones. I thought this would be the most hassle free option. I'm going to replace the balljoints and front ARB bushes at the same time. A bonus is that it seems with a promo code i can get 20% off at GSF, so comes in at a touch...

that excess travel might be due to worn pads. Or worn out brake fluid. this is meant to be changed every two years, though i've found longer periods to be fine.. Chance the fluid and bleed the brakes and see if the pads need changing at the same time.

Pretty sure you can disable the function to increase the volume of the radio relative to engine/road speed. Have a look in the manual or try the ICE section of the forum. I dont feel the brakes are bad, however, you do have a slightly more powerfull 150 engine. You could fit braided hoses to...

Thanks to the OP. Followed this excellently written guide and it solved my problem. Fantastic guide. Thanks. car worked on: TDI Toledo 1.9

I've had a warning light on for a while and my brake lights have been working. However, now they are not - i thought it could be the bulbs but strange for them both to go. What can be done if the brakelight switch has failed? :confused:

Thank you all for the above info. The replaced rear wishbone bushes made such a difference to the handling! Last year i changed the ARB bushes and have noticed a creak that has gotten worse since then.. Could the bushes/fitting be at fault here? Last year I had two advisories on my MOT which...

Thanks for all the info Guys, job went without a hitch. Having the ball-ended alen key was essential so thank you for that tip.

Hi Mate, try a performance air filter, such as K &N or Green pannel. Would work well considering you have the remap. Just out of interest, which re-map did you go for and what sort of mpg gains have you been getting? Cheers

Thats what I needed to know. Thank you.

Hello All, I've just attempted to change my front brake pads and ran into a problem: Got the wheel off and removed the plastic bungs to get at the bolts to remove the caliper but, they are an alan key socket type. I couldnt fit a 6mm or an 8mm alan key into the socket. Does anyone know if...

What to use and where to get it from? Any advice appreciated. Many Thanks

Hi all, due to a slightly chewed up sump plug that is now dripping i'm planning on changing my sump for a new one. Has anyone done this before and do they have any tips? Also i'm informed that there is no gasket for the sump it just says to use a sealant.. is this true? Any help greatly...

I know my little light near the oil temp guage was flashing a beeping - its a warning for coolant level. Topped it up with some water to tide it over untill i can change it - light and warning stopped. Dont know if this is any help...

I will have to try one of those adaptors as i have had the same poor reception with my aftermarket head unit. Bought an adaptor for £5 from halfords back when the world cup was on last and it was rubbish. Halfords are only good for their occasional offers. I avoid the place like the plague now...

Thanks Dox, I've just had a look and it looks to me like the wishbone rear bushed have gone! And I mean gone! one has only one side of rubber visible and a small slither protruding and the other is all floppyand degraded. Has anyone done a replacement removal guide? If not should I put one...

Have a look here dude: http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=292606 I used a kit buy knuconcepts - great wires, they fit more copper width into the casing - eg a 4gauge is closer to 3 guage. :)

I sould be easy.. If you dont have the wirring, then get some from a scrap Toledo :)

Thanks for the advice guys. I'd see going to a garage as throwihg money at it personally. I'm going to have a good look, poke and wiggle with a screwdriver tomorrow too see what i can deduce. I can also say the my car is not lowered. I'd rather sort out any clunking before i go anywhere like...

Hi Krisby, Which rear bushes did you replace? Did you replace the whole front wishbones? I can imagine the front ARB bushes are quite easy to replace? Many thanks.

That dosent sound too good mate. Hopefully the Drop links will solve the issue, I dont belive in an unfixable problem. Do you have a creak when you get into the car sometimes lately i've noticed one when i get into the car..? Thanks for the reply
