Hello all, I’ve got a little city flicker that has a little problem with the idle since recently. It’s an Arosa, Bj 97, 1.0l with 50hp. I’ve got used to the fact that in idle with running air conditioning the idle is a bit “cruppy”. This should be normal given the engine capacity and the power. However, it has a little problem with the idle (whether on or off). Then it fluctuates between about 650 and 850U/min, 800u/min s ind normal. Sometimes after 2-3 amplitudes it has a stable idle, but sometimes it takes almost a minute until it has stabilized again. What can this be with the engine? And by the way: Does someone have the MKB of the engine for me? Thanks in advance

Hello everyone… I’m new here in the seat area of the forum, because it’s a second vehicle and I’m otherwise drifting around in the VW corner Have a question and hope someone can give me a helpful info…. I’ve been driving as a second car for a short time 6k2 as a cupra version with the 1.8t MKB: AQX (156ps) and 156 ps bj 2000 factory side. The following modifications were made to the car: k04 loaders, injection nozzles/air mass meters/gas pump/LK/N75 valve from the audio S3 (1.8t/224 ps), 3 inch stainless steel AGA, downpipe, 100 cells Rennkat, k&n Filter…. The car has now 211 ps, only a reasonable performance increase by chiptuning has not been made and should now follow, since many cars already in the standard condition without these whole hardware have to make changes to this performance… Now to my question: has possibly already done a similar conversion and can report from his experiences on how much ps/nm you can anticipate with these The vehicle now has 186,000 km down, a lot has been renewed and regular service with reasonable oil has been carried out, the engine is running perfectly and is already pressing tremendously … I thank you for your answers Downpipe,100 cell

Hi guys! Since I leave my Scirocco unfortunately due to a new condominium “must” *joy* I am looking for a cheap car (max. 12,000 €, ~100 ps, not old and not too many km) Since I almost inevitably passed by the Seat Ibiza. (Fabia I don’t like, Polo does not agree the price/performance ratio mMn not / Kia I don’t want any, Ford, Renault & Peugeot are not in question for me) I already realize that he does not forget with a 2.0l 200ps DSG Scirocco Ibiza 6J 1,6l You have to consider the price, I come from Austria and there we have a great NOVA… Can you buy such a careless one? Or should you rather take the ~90 PS versions? Are there extras that I will miss? Or child diseases that I would have to observe while watching/trialing? How “go” the 105PS? Drive mainly city traffic but also more and more often AB. Thanks for the first time!

Hey guys. Need some good advice from you who are experienced with the Seat Ibiza 6L 2004. We were a friend criticized that if he steps on the brake from 80 kmH the whole steering wheel trembles. I drove with the car and he is definitely right. I picked up the car at the front and found that just in front left the wheel can move already with the hand as if the track rods head had been totally knocked out. After looking more closely, however, one saw clearly that it was not I’m a mechanic myself, however, in the commercial vehicle sector. And I want to change these track rods with him because I think that’s why the trembling comes. Would you confirm that? And what do I need to change tool to this track rod? Have already the Internet holes but I haven’t found such a 100% answer to my question yet. Some say it’s enough one key the others say br also a tool where it then also depends on the diameter. So I am now also a bit overburdened. However, if I have the parts and the car there I want to change the things and not send the car away again because the tool is missing. Can you surely understand. And that’s why I was thinking here how to do this best with the professionals. I hope someone can help me and say you need this and that and do it like this and like this and the S ache is done. I thank you already in advance. Greetings Sascha
