    Blueflame Exhaust - Where?

    Yeah I paid about the same (£500 ish) about 5 years ago.. Wished I'd bought a Miltek, and then bought a Milltek. Think I flogged the hardly used Blueflame to Tom up there ^ (possibly, memory is hazy).

    VIN Number

    Tom, Seems pretty simple to me.. I assume you've not bought and sold too many cars, as if you had you'd know the DVLA create significantly worse cockups than this. Something to look forward to over the coming years maybe :whistle: First up, I'll declare my interest here.. I know the car...

    air bag slip ring question?

    Hello mate - get yourself a new slip ring from a VW/Audi/Seat breakers (try Stevens Breakers on the net) it's not difficult and won't be more than £25. Loads of Vw's came with this slip ring and they can break - they're just a pair of wires pressed flat into a ribbon cable and wrapped round and...

    Wipers have gone nuts!!!

    I got mine from the dealers.. alex knows what he's going though obviously - might be a good time to go Cruise Control if you've got loads of spare cash. It's an easy job, for someone experienced as yourself - be wary of the ribbon cable inside the airbag slip ring - you wana keep that airbag...

    ibiza cupra R help on servicing

    No, it's not too old.. I just sold my 188k mile Ibiza that runs as well today as it did at 50k... just keep on top of the maintanance. If it smokes, find out why.. if the clutch slips, get it changed.. if the gearbox splits into two and drops out onto the road, it's time for a new one :-)

    ibiza cupra R help on servicing

    You're good for at least 100,000 more miles (and the rest) if my car is anything to go by. Oils and plugs have been covered loads of times. Not many 'R's out there so leave it standard where possible :-)

    ohhh no!! Welding done on car with battery connected!

    Nobody's listening because it's a collection of relays, not a collection of fuses.

    new engine in but fault code help!

    Are you 110% sure the cam belt went back on in the right position? Did you remove the cam timing chain, and if you did, is it definately back as it was? Good to see more people doing hardcore stuff with these cars :-)

    Ibiza 99-2002 general thoughts

    "It is obvious that MK4 has much finer design,but MK3 is not bad too,maybe little dicey" It's not obvious.. if you think it is, you might be in the wrong secion of this forum :-)

    Grrrrr... Need some help!

    Have you run the engine up to temp', turned the heaters up to 'HI' and given all the hoses a good squeezing? When you said "disconnect the thing" did you actually mean "entirely bypass" ?

    toyos

    I run T1r's on the Cupra and 888's on something RWD and I'm happy enough with value for money on both.. might even try T1r's on the RWD car for a bit as 888's have gone way up in price.

    Fitting suspension - couple of Questions....

    Why are you removing the Spax? I have a set I will either fit or sell with the car, unless you have had a bad experience?

    Cupra Clutch

    The EaziBleed is the only way I'd do it, personally.

    Cupra Clutch

    You're correct, except it pushes it through from the reservior Genius indeed.

    Engine Rebuild!!

    Heads come up on eBay and various places - move the bits over yourself and learn some stuff at the same time :-) Maybe get a second opinion on the state of the head you have at the minute? You can achieve 205bhp without and special head work at all.. and on stage 1.. no porting, no polishing...

    Coolant flush - Thermo replace - refill

    Ideally, coolant should be pink like the pre-mixed stuff from halfords. You could always flush it out and run some more through. This might help you :-) “06A 103 663 B” (dipstick tube), broke mine myself during cylinder head removal.
