Just returned from holiday, Started my now dirty FR TDI and moved it forward to a twang sound from the front. Driving it around, the noise from the front drivers side suggested a fault, I've had it checked by Kwik-Fit, and seen that the front drivers side Spring has snapped. A few searches...

Driving home from work last night the car (53 plate TDI Sport 130PD) was making all sorts of banging, crashing and twanging noises from the front end. I took it to the garage this morning and they tell me one of the front springs has snapped. They are going to replace both fronts as the other...

Sorry I can't post any photos right now which would make life easier. But anyway i'm in the process of cleaning my car out and I just found a large spring rolling around in the nearside rear passenger footwell! I imagine it is from one of the seats but I can't see where from. The spring...

I'm sure everyones heard that lowering springs tend to kill dampers over time and are generally a pretty poor solution as theyre not 'matched' to the dampers as such. As the cupra already has 'stiffer' suspension does that go to suggest that lowering springs could work well on the leon...

Was checking my steering column bolts this weekend as per a recent forum thread and as I took the plastic cover off I noticed a large spring resting inside the cover. After looking over a few diagrams I think it's the over-center spring (number 20 in the diagram below) I wondered why my...

My son has a 1995 Ibiza 1.4 CL. Recently he bought some Spax lowering springs for it, and we made sure we ordered those for cars up to 12/95 (ref. S034009). This reference is marked on the springs themselves, so I am pretty sure we got what we ordered. When the springs were fitted, the mechanic...

First weekend that I have been free and the weather OK, so thought I'd give my car a once over.

Hi Everyone I was driving on the Motorway on saturday at about 80mph in my 03 1.2 and the drivers side spring just snapped and pushed its way up off the shock! Is this a common thing to happen? i got the front bushes done three weeks ago is this related in anyway or just bad luck! Thanks.

Anyone else had this occur at all? It seems an unusual occurance. It's the wifes 1.2. 52 plate with 32000 miles on it. She heard a clunking noise so i've investigated and the coil spring has snapped! Cars sitting nice and low on one side! No previous accidents on the car at all. Can't...

Heard a bang last night so had a look today and my drivers side front spring has snapped. Dont really want to lower it and thats all ebay has to offer. Is it best to change them as a pair or will one be ok? By the way its a 1.8T cupra

Discovered while going over a speed bump yesterday that my bonnet was not closed properly. When I tried to close it I found the spring that keeps the latch closed is missing! :-o Anyone have any idea where I can get a replacement without going to the stealers?

Can anyone tell me if the spring thats on the back of the headlight and that the indicator clips onto is available on its own from the dealer. Or does it come as part of the headlight?? Reason Im asking is that I need a new one. Cheers. Craig.
