Get the spiders back on. They looked stunning in the sun at Castle Combe

I've had a look on ETOS and it looks like the clutch is the same for the PD & CR engines. But the DMF is different.

Yeah, I'd be up for this, not too fussed about the day. I should be able to make any this month.
Graham
-
so if this oil is VW 507 00 approved then it should be okay?
Yes 507 00 spec oil is fine for the PD engine.

Yeah this XDS system works well as a limited slip diff, just amazing how it finds grip even when you thinks there's none.
From what I read these 1.4tsi seem idiot proof for quick starts.
I don't know about that. I keep getting caught out by the hill hold control. Must try harder

Much appreciated, Thank you.
I'll keep my eyes open for the update

a ) what RPM does it go up to?
Mine usually goes to 4.2k for the turbo to kick in. Today though, in 3rd, I hit the peddle in anger (stupid BMW driver :wonder:) and it went up to 5.5k and this was in 3rd.
I wouldn't worry too much, drop it into "S" and it'll quite happily change up at 7k when you give it a boot.

Evening all,
Bit of an odd one here, just done a scan on my Ibiza, but I'm stumped by this one. When I run the scan I get a pop up telling my that no .ROD file is found and it finds this code, 4363 - ROD - Unknown Error Code, from the engine. I get the same thing when trying to access any of the measuring blocks for the engine.
Vehicle is a MY11 Ibiza Cupra.
Can anybody shed some light on the problem or a fix?
Thanks

Is there anybody travelling from the north who is staying locally the night before as I intend to?
I'm coming from Manchester, on the Friday afternoon. Looking at the travelodge near J17 on M4, seems the cheapest option.
-
The T4 has a few engine choices, 1.9TDi & 2.5TDi seem to the popular ones but there are N/A versions of both. All are as you say fairly bullet proof but the 2.4 & 2.5's are known for going through the fan belt crank pulleys, IIRC there was a recall on them. T5's just seem to suffer with the usual VAG Diesel engine problems
Personal choice T5 sportline purely for the looks
-
Yep choice of 4 fuel filters on the late PD engines. TBH the easiest way to tell is take it apart and get the OE numbers of the element (Yes I know its a PITA ), Even with ETOS I still struggle to get the right one for customers
and I think dealers have the same problem.Graham

+1 for the superpro dog bone bush. Although I never noticed any more vibration with mine.
Superpro do list a couple of poly console bush kits but IMO not worth the extra cost when the Cupra bushes do the same job at a fraction of the price.

Put me down for the club stand. I take it we'll be able to sort out our own track sessions on the day as with previous years?

+1 for the quaife. Completely transforms the handling. Better traction off the line, more grip mid corner.
Graham

I'm glad its found a good home.
Infact that's the first time in 4 years that I've heard the noise it makes on the over run coming off the throttle from outside, that chrip inside is a warble from where I was
, No wonder people kept staring all these years Have fun

Now sold. I'm missing it already :'(

If I can borrow a car then I'll be there.

If they've come of an 2008 model then they won't fit the fabia.

Looks like a Motaquip part number, which for the most part are re branded Valeo kits. And I know the Valeo kit is a 3 piece. It does sounds a bit pricey for just the kit tho.
Graham
and I think dealers have the same problem.
