Hello all, Following my engine management light coming on I have been told by my local garage my timing chain has worn and caused some timing issues. The mechanic said he feels its just the chain is worn but the gaffer isn't comfortable in just changing the chain as he can be sure that there is...

Hi all, I live in Kent and I'm looking to get my car tuned. I've found some candidates but I'm finding it hard to decide which is best. So this thread is just a bit of fishing to see if anyone has used these garages or has opinions. These are the garages I've found so far: JF Automotive AmD...

Hi Guys, I was out tonight when the fuel light came on so, I headed to the nearest garage to me at the time, which was a BP one, upon pulling up at the pump I saw a sticker on both diesel pumps green and black handles which read '7 % bio-diesel', now I run a Leon, which is a 2.0 litre 140...

Right then, with my new Arosa on the drive way its time to think about a cambelt service. I can't find any reference to the cambelt being changed. I'm planning to call the garages that the car has been to and find out what was done. If not, I think it'll be cambelt kit and waterpump time...

Hiya I've just been quoted £60 by a garage for them to run the vagcom after my car had the diagnostics/excessive polution light come on, this seems pretty excessive to just run a piece of software, Can anyone reccomend a decent garage who won't charge the earth for this? I'm in the forest...

I got my new leon fr on christmas eve from seat dealer in Derby and on driving home to York realised that there was a really bad judder. Took in to local dealer and to cut a long story short it has up to now had a new fly wheel and clutch. This didnt solve the problem, so they sent off fault to...

Hello All, My Mk 1 Leon FR Tdi is due for its 140,000 mile service. I was wondering if I did it myself and therefore didn't get a stamp in the log book would this significantly affect resale value in the future? I know it's high mileage but the car is in good nick and has had all the parts...

Hey, As you have probably read on here my Ibiza has a starting fault, and is currently at the garage for the third time, to hopefully get it sorted. So far Seat and my dealer have not shown any signs of knowing what the fault is, or how to cure it. How many visits to the garage and how...

Got a quote from local stealer that was around the £300 mark for the 20,000 mile service that also includes a brake fluid change.That was after I knocked em down about 60 quid. Local indie that I have used quite often said he would charge me about £130 and that he reckons I will not need the...

Hello all, In relation to the "strange air noise when accelerating" thread. Seat Leon 03 plate - 110bhp - 80k on the clock. Had my car in the garage today to look at my turbo due to going into limp mode when hitting the higher revs. I also noticed my turbo seemed to whistle quite loud. Had...

Hi there, I bought my LCR 225 from a local car dealer last week and before I picked it up they said they would sort a few jobs out for me. One of the probs from the test drive was that the airbag warning light was on the dash. They said the would look at it for me and when I came to pick the...

I'm taking my bargain Ebay Arosa into a garage tomorrow to have it checked over. I can hear a wheel bearing and want to see if they think the cambelt's OK too. I've not told them what I paid and told them they can tell what I SHOULD have paid after giving it a once-over ! So let's hope I get...

Just looking for some advice where I can get my car sorted. (Mk3 Ibiza cupra) I made the mistake of putting it into Arnold Clark where a was told this that n the other was wrong with it, so basically I want a second opinion. So anyone know any good garages that actually know what they're...

Hi guys, This is a common problem by the looks of it! My rear washer has stopped squirting water, although there is no leakage in the boot (or anywhere else I can see.) I've seen guides on how to take off the boot trim using a Torx 20, but I'm wondering how much it would cost at a Seat...
