miles

hi guys, I have just bought a 2006 cordoba 130tdi with only 13k on the clock. I am sure that the clutch has slipped on 2 occasions in 5th gear at 2250rpm. Is it possible for a clutch 2 wear out on a standard car with this low miles? I havent been able to replicate the clutch slip...

Has anyone on here got a Mk4 that is reaching 100k miles?? Just asking, as mine is coming up to 1 year old (Friday!) and he's got 27k under his belt now! I looked on Autotrader and there aren't any Mk4's on there with above 100k, but some nearing it on 02/52 plates!! Was originally...

Hi gents, Ive come accross an ad for the above spec and was wondering if anyone had done this sort of mileage in a similar vehicle and could tell me how seats' cope with it. Are there any known issues / things that need to be replaced ? Thanks Mark

hi, my cupras on 71,000 and due for a 10.000 mile service. whats the average cost you guys experience with these services. is it best to go to seat, bearing in mind im not really gonna resell the car. im around doncaster, lincoln area if anyone knows a decent place. thanks

Been looking at 2.0 16v gti / cupra sports, a couple have 90k miles. How many miles would a well maintained abf knock out before snuffing it or requiring some serious work? Milage has scuppered my chances of owning 'the car' I've wanted - but i'm interested to know how many miles could you...

I recently had my Ibiza pd130 re-mapped, running stage 1 at 175bhp and 280lbs torque. This killed the standard clutch, so I had a new up-rated clutch and standard DMF fitted. After doing 60 miles I noticed the car was juddering when setting off, only very slightly but noticeable. It...

Mornin' all. I've become fed-up with the economy I'm getting from my Leon. It's costing me £90 to get to work and back. Clacton -> Ipswich -> Clacton. Monday to Friday. It's 300 miles per week. When I first got the car, I was doing this journey for £50-60. What the hell happened? On top...

i know its a bit of a how long is a piece of string question but i was thinkin of selin my 1.6 worth about 3 k and gettin a cupra theres one on ebay for abound that but its got 143k on the clock, how much power ect do you think it will have lost??

Just thought i'd get peoples opinions on getting my 03 LC remapped I've had the car for 12 months, had 71.000 when i bought it and had been used as a motorway cruiser by my mate. Hence the mileage. i've always planned to get it remapped and now have the cash to do It finally :funk: The...

The Michelin Pilot Primacy tyres on my Ibiza FR TDi have finally expired after 27000 miles. I know people slate them but I don't think they are too bad, although they are not brilliant in the wet. The wear rate is amazing though. I have now got to decide what to replace them with. I've looked...

Evening all - not posted in a while but felt the need to 'brag' a little! Just reached 30k miles in just over a year and I'm well and truly satisfied with the Leon. With the exception of two new P Zero Rosso's on the front (soon to be joined by two at the back!) absolutely nothing has gone...

My first post on here as a mainly vauxhall owner. Having been into clubs for years i know the best place to come for advice is places like here so hopefully you guys will be able to help me out. Im looking at a £995 98R Cupra 2.0 8V Sport. Says new clutch, tyres etc 12 months MOT... but 136K...

Riight chaps my £800 99 cupra 8v has reached 143000 today and I am getting a bit worried the engines is going to go pop soon. I changed the oil every 5000 miles and an engine flush as well. I bought the car in October when it had 124000 miles on the clock. Apart from a bit of ticking everything...

Just thought I'd post to say that the car has just passed the 100K mile mark. Had the car from new and even after all these years of driving it, I still, on the odd occasion find myself reaching for that imaginary 6th gear :doh: Still enjoying the drive, though. I've thought about selling...

Well I've been busy enjoying my new car, and just thought I'd mention a few things ive found. First - after 1 tank of super unleaded, I managed to average (mixed driving) the grand total of 18 mpg! Second - Traction Control, it's only kicked in once and was a bit of a shock really. In my...

Just collected an brand new 1.9Tdi Sport, and the emmision light has come. Garage say they cant look at it till lMonday, but we are both at work. We have litterally had it for 5 hours. Is this a common problem? Did a search on the forum and have seen a few posts.... Mark.

I have heard that the golf TDI's start to run in around 100,000 miles and this is when they are at there peek performance. Is this the same with the leon?

Last week I purchased a lovely 2002 Seat Ibiza 1.4 Chill with a full service history upto its current mileage of 103,000. The owner didn't have much of a clue about cars and didn't know whether the cam belt had ever been changed... Looking over the service history (all from the same Seat...

somethings wrong here. Its only a 1.4 and I don't rip it everywhere! also the drivers side lock is gone all weird on me :headhurt: it turns like 1 and a 1/2 turns until it unlocks, but it locks fine just the normal 1/4 turn! Edit: forgot Im getting 2 new front tyres tomorrow, they have been...

Just got myself an 03 ibiza 1.9 tdi sport 130 and have filled it up twice both times the computer telling me i will only do 315 miles on the tank, surely this isnt right as im reading that i should be doing 400+??? Anyone enlighten me as to why its telling me only 315.
