  • Passenger door doesn’t open, mechanism works.

    Hi guys, I have an unusual problem, namely my passenger door from Seat Ibiza 6L built in 2006 (2/3 doors) can’t be opened any more. The curious thing is that the door lock (microswitch) gives noises when I lock or open. Unfortunately, the door handles do not work, you can pull until the doctor comes but the spring prevents it in the mechanism. I renewed the door lock last year against a new one. I also have help, how do I get the door wied he’s up?

  • Gear recommendations Seat Ibiza

    Hello dear people! I have been the proud owner of a new Seat Ibiza for a few days now. I never used to drive a switchcar, only diesel and other automatics before. Therefore, a question about the gear recommendations that the car makes. According to all that I have talked to so far, you can’t drive petrolers under any circumstances at all. According to your own recommendation, it’s undertoury when he sounds a bit like a treacherous. I know, catastrophic Description, hope you still know what is meant. This happens with the car at 1300-1500 rpm. Nevertheless, the gear recommendation of the car says regularly that I should keep the gear. The following example: At 50 km/h on the level road I should use the 4th gear. So far so good, engine sounds noisy but still works. But if I then slow down, until 40-45 km/h and then accelerate again, the 4th gear is still recommended although not even really power The actual question is: Who should I trust more? The engineer, who programmed the gear recommendation or my feeling? Is it no longer harmful to drive a petrol engine underpass? On which factors is such a gear recommendation dependent? Unfortunately, in the case of cars, I am a completely unwritten sheet, so the explanations please in generally understandable statements. That would be very nice ?? Many thanks in advance!

    Hello, I’m new here. Got a problem with my mini. Short feedback what I’ve already done. After reading out the error memory, he signaled the characteristic field thermostat defective. (I didn’t have any more error code) Then I completely changed the thermostat housing, filled it, let it run warm and ventilated. Was extremely much air in it. Lots of pressure on the hoses, than cooked. Then I let it ventilate with vacuum/low pressure. Ging, but after 30-40 km the warning light went 2x Co2 measurement made, both negative! Errors read out, error coolant temperature sensor short circuit after mass, then I changed the temperature sensor. No improvement constantly overheats the engine. Were still 2-3 errors when reading out like 2AC3 Lambdasonde / 2D8E + C knock sensor / 287D Lambdasonde Can someone help me maybe!?

  • Find help for power loss when switching off the car.

    Hello people can help me in front of a hint what it can be. Now the problem With me will constantly be the Batarieler after 3 days of standstill of the car. I have a new Batarie inside. It is only 1 month old. At the charging current of the light machine it does not. It has already been checked. The suspicion was that it is the contacts on the trunk lid. Since I have a FLS. But they are not. Now I don’t know any more. Where could the problem lie. My roof The problem is that it’s probably because of my disengagement spree. The problem is that since I put it back in operation, there was only the plug from the clock rounder where also the Kontrol contact from the lock is with it off. But I can’t really find it. I just put the plug back on it anymore. I’m going to take the plug off again and desert it. But maybe one of you has a different hint for my problem. PS. And sorry that I’m one because e wasn’t here I wasn’t in Germany. I still wish everyone a healthy new one even if it’s a little late.
