  1. Camshaft Position Sensor - 19463

    The camshaft sensor may have been unplugged to crank the engine without it starting (to prime the oil line to the turbo)
  2. Coolant loss

    Had a similar problem myself. Coolant would only drop if driven on high revs. Turned out that the radiator was weeping. New radiator and all fine
  3. Rusty front arches

    Selling mine next month when my Golf R arrives. Black, 54 plate, 124k miles, 1 owner
  4. Leon gets traded in tonight at midnight!

    Was very close to getting an M135i but decided on the Golf R. Longer wait but hopefully worth it for 4wd
  5. Ibiza Cupra TDi, 2006. What were factory-fit brake discs ?

    I can confirm this having had my cupra from new. Same as mk1 TT's
  6. Cupra related "common issues" / problems

    I just went for an uprated friction plate and standard pressure plate along with a dual mass flywheel since I was only getting a stage 1 map which came in at under £600 fitted. Mine is a tdi btw, not sure what the petrol lads do. Just wish the waiting time for the golf was less, can't wait to...
  7. Cupra related "common issues" / problems

    I've had my Cupra 9 1/2 years so that says it all really. Bushes aren't a problem for Cupras since they are solid. I have the rusty wheel arch problem which seems to have only affected 54 plate cars. Clutches are weak but only when remapped. Mine will be up for sale when my Golf R arrives in...
  8. What would you do with a Ibiza Cupra 160?

    I have a 54 plate cupra with 121k and I think it would get £2500 tops in good condition. Some advertisers on ebay and autotrader are dreaming. Putting mine up for sale next year when I order my new car
  9. Removing steering wheel

    I have the display for mpg etc yes. I'd appreciate it if you could take the part number from it so I can try to get one from a breaker first - I can't wait 3 weeks :cry:
  10. rear handbrake caliper out of adjustment

    They've just wound it in too much, did the same myself a couple of weeks ago. Unwind it 1 turn and it's back to normal

    Got these for this year http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WINTER-TYRE-Nankang-Snow-SV-2-205-40-R17-84V-XL-/151102193484?pt=UK_Cars_Tyres_RL&fits=Tyre+Width%3A205%7CAspect+Ratio%3A40%7CDiameter%3A17&hash=item232e647f4c
  14. Intermittant electrical issue

    I'd still look at the battery - swap it with someone for a couple of days Worth checking the fuses on top of the battery, remove clean and refit. Wouldn't hurt cleaning the earth lead as well. It may be the alternator clutch pulley but you'd have the battery light flickering. Does the...
  15. Does this sound like a dead wheel bearing?

    Difficult to tell, check that nothing is catching the wishbone as the shaft rotates. You may have bent the CV boot clip out and it's just touching the wishbone as it spins
  16. Removing steering wheel

    M12 multispline also known as a triple-square. Use the correct tool otherwise it'll knacker the nut. Do you have the part number for the stalk assembly? Looking to do this myself very soon. Also, where did you get the wiring harness from?
  17. No 1st or 2nd gear

    Check that the selector arm on top of the gearbox is actually operating the gearbox. I've had to replace mine twice now. The arm is made of monkey metal and wears over time until the splines no longer turn the selector shaft
  18. T1rs or uniroyals

    Rainsports are the best all round tyre I've used so far on my cupra over 120k miles
  19. panel filters worth it?

    +1 Had a green cotton, noticed no difference so took it out
