    Lowering springs vs ride comfort?

    I have H&R springs on my cupra and the ride is definately not as harsh as the standard springs. Gary on here (never2old) has just drove my car the other day and he as an FR. He said mine didnt feel as harsh as his and thought it was less 'choppy'.

    Corrosion/Perforation warranty query

    I had a 2000 w reg Audi A4 repaired on bodywork warranty. car was 9 years old at the time. Had some small spots on the lower doors where the galvanizing had started to lift and bubble. The only stipulation at Audi was that the paint was original, which it was. Had a bloke come out from Audi Uk...

    2008 Leon 2.0 TDI BKD engine noise

    if the veins are stuck you will get either overboost or underboost. VCDS will see a difference between boost request and boost actual. in these situations, you would likely get a Error on the dash board and possible limp mode. AS Muttley said, you cant diagnose a knackered turbo simply by saying...

    Help with noise on start up

    Do you start it with he clutch pressed down? Could be a a few things. Like you say, loose exhaust hanger / heat shield. Rattle from flywheel. More common on the TFSi is the Cam chain tensioner. It is spring loaded but uses oil pressure also. Poor initial oil pressure for one reason or another...

    H&R spring fitting

    Passenger driveshaft comes out and goes back pretty easy. Crack the hub nut loose while on the ground, then the inner driveshaft bolts come loose with someone standing on the brakes. Three lower nuts connect ball joint to lower arm, unbolt the auto headlap sensor and away you go.

    H&R spring fitting

    The top mounts are installed facing a certain way. there is an arrow on the top which should face forward and the bit of rubber faces outward. Ended up having to replace the droplinks on mine as well as they were seized solid and required some gentle persuation from Dr Grinder. Not a bad...

    Smoking HEAVY on over run

    Cuplrits likely to be valve stem seals. or possibly head gasket leak. Before you rip the turbo off, id get someone with a borescope to have a butchers. If there proves to be oil present, the only outcome is likely to be removing the head for a proper inspection.

    Smoking HEAVY on over run

    have you checked the plugs yet? theres only one way to find the fault and thats to strip it down. Initially turbo off . When the turbo is off he can inspect both that and the back of the exhaust valves for oil. it will be plain as day if one or more of the valve seals on the exhaust side...
