    Al's Ibiza 1.4 DAB

    More Movement. Been a while since I posted anything about the car on here. Since the last post there has been a bit of progress. After reading a bit about them and seeing all of the postive things people have to say I decided to buy a pair of 25mm spacers for the rear wheels. Havn't...

    Suspension Ping/Knock/Twang/Pop

    okay bit of an update, had the car up and wheel off today to find an interesting problem. The spring had wound itself out of its seat and was resting on the arb droplink. :/ No idea what has caused it but compressed the spring and re-seated it, its fine now no noise. I had nearly worn the inner...

    Suspension Ping/Knock/Twang/Pop

    Sorry guys my bad, got my left and right mixed up :D. The driver side is the one thats lower, but only by a finger, I mean half an inch at most. So to confirm, the side thats making the noise is lower.

    Suspension Ping/Knock/Twang/Pop

    Suspension is completely standard, just been out and tried the finger test. Apart from looking like a wierdo i did find that i could fit 3 fingers drivers side, and only two passenger side. Cheers for all the replies

    Suspension Ping/Knock/Twang/Pop

    Cheers for the reply, I cant really tell, just that its in that corner, its quite loud, but loder when turning. When I say turning i mean quite sharp slow bends, like driving onto a driveway, or into a parking space.

    Suspension Ping/Knock/Twang/Pop

    The car has developed an interesting problem, When truning at about half lock and low speed there is a twang or pop sound from the front drivers side. It sounds as if there is something lodged in the tyre but there isnt. It also makes the noise over bumps. Anyone have any ideas?? Cheers

    Ibiza DAB radio in a Cupra?

    Yeah I have a DAB edition, but dont know if the head unit would be compatable with steering wheel controls as the car doesn't have them. So Im not sure how you would find out unless you find someone who has actualy done it.

    Hesitating :( HELP :(

    Wayyyyy ahead of you on that one mate, took the throttle body off and cleaned it in work. The egr point right into the valve of the throttle body, little bit stupid I think, but im sure there will be a reason for it. But yeah exactly my thoughts, if the throttle body was calibrated wrong, and...

    Hesitating :( HELP :(

    Its interesting readin the thread posted about the brake light. one of mine had blown, but the car was still acting up. I have a freind with VCDS, no codes, but I ran a throttle body adaptation and this seems to have cured the problem, car hasnt played up in about 4 days. I would recommend...

    what else should i do to the mk4

    Ill second the wheel spacers, probably the best thing I have bought for the Ibiza. wind deflectors are also a good buy. What about wrapping the area behind the front liscence plate, a lot of people do it to give a wider mouth look.

    Inner Arch

    Thanks for the replies. Seems as though its a choose to ignore it situation. Its not going to cause any horrific damage, one thing i did notice though was that the inner arch that the wheel fouls on has like a cooling vent, where as the passenger side doesn't. Could this be the inner arch of...

    Inner Arch

    Well the car is the DAB edition. It has the standard wheels as in every picture I look at they are the same :/. I don't want to pull the inner arch off as all the crap off the road is just going to flick around and get everywhere. Should have mentioned though it only happens on full right hand...
