There was a dude on here who fitted 18" TT (I think!) wheels to an Ibiza. Even with the correct 35 profile tyres they scrubbed, I can't remember if he was running 215 or 225 wide but he got scrubbing on full lock. I personally wouldn't bother, 17s are plenty big enough IMO. I have tried...

On the old TDIs (non-PD ones) you used to be able to adjust the ignition timing to slightly advanced, which would help improve mpg. I'm not aware this is the case on the PDs, I think it sorts itself out electronically as there is no adjustment on the injection pump. It's a completely...

I did mate, and have already done so on my second Ibiza ;) hardest part was not the wiring, but getting a wire through from the front of the car to the back of the headlight switch. Pedro did not make it easy for us!

Get on with it then :D I think I've only seen pictures of two of your Ibizas, did you miss one out?

That's just me being a snobby tw@t, don't want to post pics until I'm happy(ish) with it. I could start an RR with the dealer pics and some teasers :p

The part numbers that I've found to work are 1JO 959 753... Ending in either CT, AG (2 button) or DA (3 button). Hope you've got one of those? Whether 433 or 434 is printed it doesn't really matter, it's the same number just rounded up or down :) Get some pictures guys, always like seeing...

Apart from the light being on, what is your car doing wrong? Is it running okay? I've never once heard of a failed MAF on a 1.2. I'll be surprised if it has failed.

Great looking Leon. Glad you've carried the red theme on under the bonnet, and haven't just gone with any and every colour!

My old Ibiza did that. There was a bung behind the scuttle panel on the passenger side front corner, the bung was loose and allowing lots of water through. I siliconed it up and it was fine since. The rear footwell is the lowest part of the car, that's why the water pools there. With regards...

Whether or not you should replace them all depends on your car's mileage I'd say. If you're past 60k and one has failed, I'd change them all. I don't think the others will be far behind. And I'd keep a used but working one spare, either in the garage or if you're often going long distance...

Poor starting from warm you say. Check the battery fitted is of the correct specification. My old Octavia TDI started absolutely fine from cold, but when warm, it could take as long as 10 seconds of cranking to start. Was a bit embarrassing at petrol stations. I changed the battery and found...

I did a home-brew refurb on my alloys too. VW United Grey paint and lacquer applied through a spray gun.

On my 1.2 it's located down on the passenger side, between the radiator and PAS pump. I'd say it's a bumper off job to do something with it. Not that I'm aware of, let us know if you find something though!

Afraid I haven't tried it. I removed the wings, but they aren't going back on a car for a while...

Good stuff, memory tells me there was an adjustment value of 1 through 5

I have one of these 2 button versions are also available, quite often a little cheaper too :)

That's also what I meant :lol: I've heard one or two people say the comfort rear wiper can't be done on facelifts. I've no way to test though as I don't have a facelift to try it on. So just a word of warning to facelift owners attempting it...

Yes it's quite straight forward, apart from the obvious bolts you can see, there's 2 on the lower right hand side (near to the door opening) which need to be removed. No need to remove the front doors.

To the OP, where are you located? It doesn't necessarily have to go to SEAT, my preferred way of doing it would be to buy a brand new remote section of a flip key from ebay (approx £20), you could then find a local auto-locksmith who could provide the blade section, cut it to fit your...
