Cupra tdi. I drove the car at lunch, got in it 5 hours later after work and it wouldn't go in gear and the clutch was really light. Engine off and the gears move freely, but start the engine whilst in gear, with pedal pressed and the car tries to move forward, almost like its being held on the...

New turbo fitted which solved the problem

Has anyone got a drawing of, or can list where the earthing points are inside the cabin, specifically behind the dash? I'm getting some flickering lights and want to check all earths

I bought an exchange unit from Turbo Developments in the end, which is hopefully getting fitted today. I've ready good things about them, so hopefully the turbo matches what I've read

So looks like my turbo has given up. Making the dreaded siren sound and has zero power. I've searched the all the numbers stamped into the turbo and struggling to find any for the BPX engine, apart from those out of my price range. Does anyone know if the turbo from the Pd150 (ARL) is the...

Does the Cupra share a front hub with any other models? Bent mine while removing the old bearing and struggling to find a replacement. I know the base models are different as they have an incorporated calliper carrier bracket, but what about the fr or Fabia vrs? Looks the same in pics.

Does anyone know what the centre cap size is?

My previous post corrected my first. Load SIGNAL wire. There is no suspension load sensor on a mk4 Ibiza afaik, The suspension doesn’t get any adjustment. Take a look at the link I posted above and hopefully it will be clearer. This is nothing to do with the suspension.

Load signal wire I meant. It is what tells the alternator it’s under load and to push out more power. And it’s definitely at the front. https://forums.seatcupra.net/index.php?threads/how-to-fix-broken-load-signal-cable-from-alternator.209472/

I had a quick look under the bonnet and found one of the load sensor wires had broken, which could explain the loss of power steering I suppose. But could that be the cause of the erratic instrument cluster? I’ve chopped the wires back to fresh copper and spliced in some new wire, unfortunately...

This was the first thing I checked. 12.5 engine off. 14.6 engine running.

My car has just developed a really weird fault. Can anyone offer any ideas? Basically drove approx 400 miles last week and didn’t miss a beat. Got in it Saturday morning and drove to the local supermarket, also fine. Then 2 hours later gonout again, this time the car is turning over but won’t...

Does anyone know what size these are? ECP lists 16mm and 18mm. I’ve seen 19 and 20mm mentioned on other forums, but I can’t find these for sale ahywhere

Cheers for the advice. I had a quick look and the ns wiper seems extremely lose/sloppy, so I might replace the linkage and motor anyway, if that's fails then I'll get another stalk

No the motor sounds fine. It was fine in all speeds until a couple of days ago. I hadn't driven the car for a few days went out to a frozen screen, since then it has been playing up

My front wipers have just started playing up, perfect timing with the weather! I have intermittent and slow speed, but fast speed does nothing, if the wipers are moving and I try to switch to fast speed, then they stop dead at the point they are at on the screen. Sometimes the slow speed will...

What would cause the cooling fans to not operate? With the heaters on, the larger of the two fans comes on every 30 seconds or so and stays on for around 30 seconds, it keeps repeating this cycle. I done the low speed resistor fix last year. I'm thinking maybe the fan switch?

Cheers mate. If I decide to do them I will have to see about borrowing some ramps to get to one of the bolts. Tbh I've checked/changed everything but the shafts/cv joints. I'll check them when I do the hub nut.

I changed the inner tie rods and track rod ends, both sides, still knocks. But it seems that he reused the old hub nut. I've ordered a new one, so will do that on Wednesday night when it arrives. I really hope it is this as that's about the only thing he would have touched when doing the...

Think I may have found the culprit. Well the noise in this video sounds the same http://youtu.be/z8E5Doe40OE If it is the inner tie rod, are these accessible without the need to use the removal tool? Enough room for stilsons?
