Does anybody know if the 1.8 20v turbo from a "p" reg Audi A4 would fit into a mk2? i ask coz i got offered one today and started wondering! :p

i have just ordered my 2010 leon cupra and i see all this talk of spacers etc for the DV but as the dealer wouldnt let me "drive" the 08 test driver i could hear if there was a chirp on let off of the throttle. So basically is there a blow off noise (no jokes) on gear change as standard...

Hi guys. Right to start with im a little worried as me being the idiot i am was in such a rush to top my coolant up after i had had my waterpump changed i drove home and popped the bonnet. As you would expect when i opened the coolant cap coolant splashed everywhere burning my hand but more...

Hi there Wondering if anyone can help? This morning on start up I got the message "Oil - Service Mile's" appearing on the dash just under the odometer. I press the little button that resets the milage counter and the "oil" part dissapears but it still says "Service Mile's" I would...

Ok, so i was going to remove the internal "plastics" around the handles for respray. Mine are all scratched and the black is coming through underneath. Anyway- I got the top bit off no worrys but its the bottom second bit I am having trouble with, with regards to the switches ( windows, door...

Will springs from a Cupra (not LCR) fit on my 1.6 S? They are 2005 and I don't know whether they are from a MK1 or MK2. Thanks in advance,

It seems that my PM box had a few PM's in it and I had no idea until I stumbled across them. I used to get a new PM alert window that popped up when I logged onto the forum or hit refresh. Am I doing something wrong or do I have to just check periodically to see if I have any PM's now? Thanks.

Before selling my old laptop and setting up VAG-COM on my new one I thought I'd quickly run a scan on my car just to see if anything comes up. Basically got two codes, the car is running absolutely fine but just wondering if there is anything I should check. These codes have come up a few...

Hi all I tried changing the rear pads and discs on my car just now but I cant get the caliper piston to compress so there is enough room to fit new ones. Ordinarily (never done it to a VAG car but on others) a G clamp is enough to press the piston back giving enough room for the new pads and...

Ran the on board computer 'mileage to empty' down to nil......then filled up, no problem. :doh::cheeky::redcard::scary::coolthumb:whistle:

Sorry but if i dont ask It will drive me mad as I sit in the cupra down to the right of me on the b-post there is a square button with a picture of a car what does it do? i pressed it a few times and not sure what has happened? cheers tom.:confused:

Imagine the scene, we've al been there at some point... A couple of hours ago me and the missus were bored and decided to go out for a random late night drive. "Cruised" around a couple of local town centres and had a bit of a blat along some deserted country roads just to blow out the...

I have a Seat Leon Sport TFSI (alledgedly 185PS). Would it be possible to swap the ECU - the whole unit - for an FR one (alledgedly 197PS)? Would it be obvious? Would I need a VAG-COM wotsit to do the swap? What would it cost?

This is quite possibly the silliest question ever. However, i feel compelled to ask! I recently hitched a ride with a collegue in his Q7 and was absolutely totally blown away by the experience. One element was the built-in widescreen freeview receiver in the dash. I don't suppose such a...

Bought an Altea XL a couple of weeks ago for the missus but didn't want to carry the old-style manual key myself for when I use the car so I ordered one of these - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEWER-TYPE-SEAT-REMOTE-KEY-FOB-COMPLETE_W0QQitemZ180170345490QQihZ008QQcategoryZ9889QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem...

I'm the proud owner of a March '07 Leon Sport TFSI finished in metallic grey (Lava grey?) and fitted with electric sunroof, rain (etc.) sensor, reversing sensors and bluetooth. It was bought a month ago from a main dealer having been originally owned by Seat UK and has just over 4,000 miles on...

I've not even had my car a week yet and I'm complaining already! :p Not really a complaint as such just something thats annoying me slightly. The shelf under the CD player in my Cupra, I'm guessing it's the same design in all Ibiza's, doesn't seem to hold onto my CD's very well as whenever...

I've just had a quick look under my bonnet for the first time and I can't see where the air filter is??? :doh: I must be blind or something, but where is it?? I can see the air flow pipe going from the front bumper to the engine but no big black box to house the filter :shrug: Piccies...

Electrics started playin silly ars*s today! I parked up in asda so the misses could go out n get some cash from the point so beforehand i locked the doors as we was in bristol i went to unlock them with the button it made a click but nothin, so we ended up winding down the window to open and...
