    I'VE DONE IT !

    We have this fitted in our Altea. Comes in two parts, the lower bit for the squab if you're fitting a rear facing seat, and both upper and lower bits if you're fitting a forward facing seat. It's actually a dark graphite colour, not blue as it appears in the picture. We bought it locally in a...

    Coil Pack Failure

    The coil pack on our Altea 2.0FSi Sport packed up 10 minutes after we picked it up from the dealers for the first time. Was replaced without question, just had to wait a couple of days for them to get the part in. Later we had a problem with similar symptoms, but this turned out to be caused...

    FSi-Lumpy idling and starting problems

    Maybe it's an intermittant fault on the coil pack, bad connection on the leads or a dodgy spark plug....or none of the above. Could be coincidence (probably) but it was No. 4 cylinder that went on mine both times (coil failure and damp) and the same one on another Altea with similar problems...

    FSi-Lumpy idling and starting problems

    I've experienced a similar problem with our Altea 2.0FSi Sport. It would start poorly and idle badly, causing the car to vibrate as you say. At first I thought that it was a coil pack failure, as this had happened before causing a misfire and the symptoms appeared the same. When I took it to...

    User name/login name changed

    Hello again, I've managed to get logged in again but my login name is still appearing as my user name (Which should be Distant Sun). Any way to change it back? Thanks

    New S3 not quattro

    [ QUOTE ] Not really a huge surprise though given the old one is the same and so are all the other "small" vag group cars [/ QUOTE ] There you go, you learn something new every day. I was under the impression that if it said quattro on it it was the quattro system, in that quattro was a...

    Rear Lights

    As it was a safety issue you would think that they'd give you the bulbs as well.....after all, the cluster isn't much use without them.

    water leaking passenger footwell

    Don't know if it's exactly the same layout on the A3 as the Leon but I assume it must be fairly similar. It's a common problem on the Leon that if the cover on the pollen filter isn't fitted correctly it can lead to water flooding the passenger side footwell as you have described. If you are...

    Steering alignment/front wishbone bushes

    Left the car back into the dealers this morning. They hadn't carried out any alignment on the wheels. Offered to straighten the steering wheel by taking it off and turning it a spline or two, but eventually agreed to get the wheel alignment checked. Thanks for all your replies Cheers, G

    Steering alignment/front wishbone bushes

    Thanks for the reply Rich. Would it be reasonable then to expect the dealer to realign the wheels as part of the job?

    Steering alignment/front wishbone bushes

    My query concerns my 2000 Leon but haven't had any replies on seatcupra so thought I'd try yourselves as it's essentially the same set-up. Had the front wishbone rear bushes replaced by the dealer yesterday and now the steering wheel is 'off' to the left. Should changing the bushes have...
