quality

Hello, I have the mk6 Ibiza FR model with the leather dashboard package and the build quality of the plastics is honestly horrible. There are rattling noises with basically any road bump, not to mention touching the door handles of any door and pushing the door outwards feels like the plastics...

Is it me or is the paint quality very poor on the Leons. I have never had a car that the paint on the bonnet has chipped so much.(The worse part of the Car) The lacquer around the chips starts flaking off, in fact i am going to ask the dealer to look at it see what they say.

As title says whats oil do you guys think is the best quality, I change my oil every six months or less, the Castrol works out at about £50 every change and the Fuchs is £30.00 or there abouts inc VAT?? I change it often but cant decide what is best to look after my engine??:confused:

Spent a few hours this weekend fitting a THS TIP. Would of been a lot quicker but I spent ages trying to align the TIP but it just wont reach the air box. It is to short by around 25-30mm, if you include the MAF housing I'd say it was around 40-50mm short. Has anyone else experienced this...

I've got a Mk2 Cupra (2008) I've just put in a top of the range touch screen Alpine Head unit (ixa w404r) with a small "Vibe" sub ensclosure in the boot to handle the bass. I have left the stock speakers as they are and have not added an amp. I am very happy with the sub and the head...

I just wondered, as far as it's possible, could anyone here with fsds on their FR describe in a percentage the improvement in ride quality you get with the Konis? I only ask as I'm trying to work out whether it's worth me upgrading. I'm having a hard time adjusting to the new car and unable to...

Hi yall Just got a TDI Sport 130, wowed by the power and economy Its a nifty little motor but i find the suspension plain potty! It seems really hard but not in a sporty way, rather more in a bumpy leery way- (I'm coming from a Mk2 Golf gti by the way) Ive searched on the forum and you...

Hi, I have a month old black magic coloured Ibiza and as with all new cars birds seem to love leaving deposits on it. Is it right that a 'splat' removed hours after its deposited leaves the paintwork 'matt'. I can't even polish the mark out. I certainly did not have the same problem with my...

Was just wondering what make of spring that lowers 40-45mm is the best quality? Local car shops offer mostly Apex,Pi, G max and Jamex Cars a 110 tdi I was lookin to buy the JOM 40mm spring and shock kit but there seems to be no guarantee that it would fit my tolly, although it does fit...

Hi, This week i have test driven both the 5 and 3 door Ibiza's (both 1.4, one se the other sport) and have noticed the rear speakers in the 3 door are useless and distort the sound at fairly low volumes. I suspect its due to the rear doors on the 5 dar cars acting as a speaker box, rather...

05 Cupra TDI. I was wondering if anyone had updated there springs and dampers for better ride quality, roads where I live are poor and its starting to get on my nerves. Dont want to change the car as am more than happy with every other aspect. Not really interested in lowering just want to...

Had my Cupra K1 for six months and I am v.pleased with the car overall. However, the ride quality is starting the cause a problem. I find it ok but my wife is increasingly complaining about the ride. Searching the forums, some of you guys mention that fitting Koni FSD dampers may help. Any...

I now use shell v-power and used to use tesco - mainly for the 5p off offer. Recently I had starting trouble (nothing too severe) but after searching theses forums people recommended shell. I was sceptical at first but now i'm converted, quality fuel counts. No starting trouble and I swear...

We bought a Fabia VRs at the weekend to replace the G/F's Lupo. Now I've been toddling around in it and it's made me realise just how badly built and finished the Ibiza is. Better trim, much better soundproofing. Better ride quality and better driving position. I can honestly see me...

Hey all! Need some serious help I bought a cd changer from ebay that came out of 05 leon fr tdi, and put it into my leon fr tdi same year. The changer works and everything its just that the sound quality is awful. On the cd changer wiring that came with it as mine doesnt have it as standard I...

Hi folks I've had a search but can't find much. I'm looking for some light smoked (Read: Mk3 Golf like) rear lights for my Leon. Does anybody do them OEM style that I can purchase ? I'd rather not smoke the originals as I don't think the finish looks great. All of the treads I checked...

Has Anyone Found That Their Alloys Are Showing Signs Of Being Chipped And Especially In Behind The Spokes.even When Ive Washed Them They Look Like They've Had A Few Years Done On The Road.ive Had Mine A Year Now,8000miles To B Exact.anyone With This Problem??

Hi, my parents have had a Leon2 for about a year. They moved up from a Leon1, which they were very happy with. Since they've had the Leon2 it's started making my Dad's shoulders act up. He has arthritis in his shoulders, but didn't have any problems with driving before. Since they got the...

As some already know, the thing I hate the most and I find really lets the Mk4 down is the interior quality - it's dreadful. Well, I've got a couple of weeks off in the middle of December and have nothing to do... I'm stripping off most of my interior for a good clean - Seats & Doorcards...

Just thought Id share the link but i found a supplier in Ireland who sells the R badges really cheap and are good quality for £3.99 each and if you order multiple you dont pay delivery after the first one. I ordered 3 and arrived fast...
