cold

This is really aimed at the guys who had a mk1 leon and have upgraded to the mk2. on my mk1 i remember the climate didnt work iirc at 4degrees or under? the snow flake wouldnt stay lit and it would just be the normal fan. is this the same on the mk2? cause there is no noticable symbol to say...

well as some of you know i run a CAI and have done for nearly two years well you do get grate sounds from them slurping and hising its like hveing your own lil darth vader in the wing. i cut my CAI down so the filter would sit in the wing as i dint want it to sit to close to...

I done a little work to my car about 2 months and about 1500 miles ago. All the usual servicing, plugs, filters, oil etc. I also cleaned out the throttle body and fitted a cold air feed around the same time. The photo is not of my car (Thankyou in advance EnGbudd) but my cold air feed is exactly...

Hi, I have a 02 Cupra and the heater just isn't working properly. I had noticed that on occasions cold air suddenly started blowing out of the wrong outlet for short periods of time but wondered if this was some way of regulating the interior temperature. Anyway after a while it became the...

had my car 2 - 3 months now and except for windows misting up excessively i've not had any probs with rattles. however yesterday (tuesday 2nd) i got in car to come home from work, 5.30pm-ish, blo0dy freezing as it has been last few days, and car was creaking all the way home, not rattles but...

Morning guys, Mk3 Cupra which normally runs like a dream won't start today. Car ran fine yesterday, no issues at all, regular temperature etc. Had a freezing night last night (often do, may not be related) and this morning it won't start. Turns over fine, sounds like battery is healthy at...

I've got a 1.9tdi 03 plate Ibiza that takes an age to start from cold. Routine is - 1. Turn key - engine sounds like it's gonna start then fails within moments 2. Try again with key held for about 5 secs(ish) then oil bulb flashes 3. Still key held (I got brave and carried on!) engine rumbles...

This is a problem I have had with the toledo ever since I have had it. When I start her up from cold, the exhaust system is really loud for a couple of minutes until the choke comes off and the revs return to normal, then the noise disappears. It sounds almost as if a baffle is loose in the...

I have not driven my car for two days and when I went to start it today, the battery has run flat. Is this due to the very cold temperatures we've recently had at night? Or is it because the battery installed simply isn't big enough for my needs? I have a small audio system installed, HID...

Hi folks. Can anyone give me any advice on a problem i've had over the last few weeks? I've got a Cupra 20VT (not R) and when the weather is cold I sometimes get a terrible misfire and erratic idle speed on start-up. It can last for a few seconds to a couple of minutes and then things are fine...

I have an ongoing problem with my Cupra, every morning when i go to back off my drive Keep revs level, raise the clutch & start to reverse then all power goes, revs drop & engine nearly stalls. Have to give it a right good rev first then back off, even then its a bit sluggish. Once its warmed...

Hey guys. To get heating in my car have to stick it on High if i decrease the temp to 28 degrees it will just blow cold air even if its freezing in there. Also my exterier temp is always between 30 degrees c or 40 (Wish it was[B)]). Im guesing its the sensor in my wing mirror but nothing...

... hi all I have noticed something abit odd recently with my leon tdi fr. Whenever you start it cold all the lights dim and get brighter with the rev pf the engine is this normal? As soon as its warmed up its fine but seems odd to me as none of my other cars have ever done this that ive...

I have notice a couple of problems with my seat. The first issue started happening last year, when the weather starts to get cold/damp. It only happens when the engine is cold you put the clutch in when driving etc and the engine revs drop below the idle position struggles to pick up and then...

I drive a 57 reg Ibiza, and since last week the break pedal has been hard for the first 10-20 seconds of starting my engine from cold. The pedal cannot be depressed at all for at least 10 seconds, until it gradually softens. This had never occurred before last week, although when I spoke to...

Now that the cold has arrived and temperatures have dropped to zero, i'm now got problems starting my car in the mornings. i would need to start the car and press on the gas pedal half to all the way and even then the car would splutter for a few seconds before running. Anyone else having...
