issue

Ran the car the other week at RS Tuning RR day and it only made 186bhp. Now I know there is the old dyno lottery but I was first on at 10am and last time on the same rollers I made 173bhp with out the APR stage 1 and CAT back system. I was expecting around 205-210bhp maybe more if I was lucky...

Just had a lengthy old search to no avail! I have fitted the 6000K HID kit from ebay which works wonderfully! The only problem is when i switch on the lights they flash once and go off, then if i swtich them off and back on they come on and stay on! Would putting a higher rated fuse in stop this...

Hey guys... I find that when I start my car sometimes - it doesn't start. It's not a case of the starter motor just ticking and trying to start the engine ... it's more towards a noise. Sounds like the starter motor but doesnt do anything else. It always starts then the 2nd time around when I...

hi guys, Ive been reading on here that the coolant pump, pumps extra coolant around the turbo once the engine on an LCR has been switched off. this noise can be heard fron the front of the engine for abt 10mins after switch off. This has been happening on my LCR ever since i got it in Oct...

Hi guys, couple of things really, hope you lot can shed some light on this: Turbo Issue. When Ive been out in the LCR, no matter for how long, when I come back and turn the car off, i can always here a buzzing noise from the drivers side front grill. this lasts for about 10 mins...

Hi guys I briefly brought this problem up a week or so back but I wanted to see if we had rectified it but no such luck. I'll go from the top as the full story i hope will help. Basically prior to getting my car mapped, it would 80% of the time boost and hold 11/12psi but i had terrible...

just thought id let you all know that if you need a DPF regeneration like i needed this morning in fact, its not covered under warranty an will cost you £155 thats with VAT included. WHAT ALLOAD OF BOLLOCKS!!!!!!! THE PERSON WHO INVENTED DPF WANTS SLAPPING...... oh, i drive an 07 leon FR 170

My Leon aircon is playing up. basically i got i regas last year at Kwikfit. Then over Winter not really used it. I have now tried to use it but its not working. Basically you can't hear the compressor operting. Checked Diagnostics and it shows voltage but no RPM of the compressor. However oddly...

I have had my K1 for 7 weeks and nearly put 3k on it. So i am now starting to explorer the handling in more detail. Having come from multiple Lotuses (i am a manager a the factory :D) there is a significant lack of feel, steering response and I can not feel the amount of grip available.So i...

Hi guys I have done a search on this, found some answers to what i was going to ask but the main question is still unresolved. I had my car scanned for faults earlier today and one thing flagged initially was Exhaust Gas Temp Sensor - Closed Circuit, I take it this means I need a new EGT...

hey guys, had the cupra remapped last week and have a possible issue thats arisen from it in 3rd/4th/5th if i accelerate hard from 4k RPM upwards i get boost in waves rather than as one solid piece of accleration, if that makes sense spoken to the guys who did it and they said it may be...

hi all i have a leon mk 1 fr tdi i'm having some issues with a new sony stereo i have fitted, its not an amazing headunit it just plays mp3 discs etc. it was working for about a week with no issues, now it won't even turn on!! i have took it out and re fitted it and it works first...

i fitted a forge dv to my k1 and it came with 2 springs,when i went up the road it had lost about 100hp the car was gutless and engine management came on,so i fitted the other spring and the power increased but still felt a little flat.the next day i bought and fitted the evoms induction kit...

Next job for me to tackle is the fan / blower. When I turn the dial to positions 1, 2 and 3 it is dead. When I turn it to 4 it starts with a bit of a stutter. It makes a fair bit of noise as it it is blowing quite hard, but next to nothing is coming out of the vents. Do we think this...

I recently had my car serviced and i had asked the dealers to look at a fog light (passenger side) on my car as is frosted up due to water getting in somewhere. I have checked the front of the fog light lense and there doesnt same to be a crack in it. I asked the dealers to fix this under...

Sods law just before selling it, the Ghetto GTi is playing silly buggers:rolleyes: Idles and drives fine from cold - but when upto temp its got a random spooky habit of ticking over rough as hell or reving upto 1500 rpm - 2500 rpm all on its own accord, then will idle fine...:confused: It...

Well 1 year on nearly and after having trouble free driving i have now got an issue with my car:cry: Soon as i pull off i have this rattle noise thats a terrible sound and when the windows down its awful and feel embarresed when driving past people as it sounds like a old banger coming past...

Hey, Thought id write a small guide to this as its common and happened to me 'yet' again! On the PD130 engines like mine you may come across this annoying problem. You hear a loud bang? Lose loads or nearly all power? You have a side mounted inter cooler (SMIC) located above the left...

Hi Everyone, Probs not the best way to introduce myself, but i know pretty much nothing about cars. But my arosa has done me well over the last few years, so, massive fan of the car :) I have just experienced something that defies logic as far as I can tell. When i first bought the car...
