Hi,
Been browsing the forum since i got my 1.6 in January as it had a leak and Google led me here.
It's been an epic trip resolving the leak and i've now been told its sorted, but an interesting (and really annoying) issue has come out of it.
Basically the passenger seat had to get taken out to fix it and when it was put back in the airbag light came on and wouldn't go off.
The car was then taken to another garage to have it turned off but their computer couldn't talk to the car and after a week they said it was the stereo that was messing it up.
They have put in a new one that is Seat approved but needless to say its a right pile of poo, a VDO CD 138 if you're interested.
The one that was in there was my JVC KD-G311 that i bought for my 95 Polo back in 2005. It was fitted by Halfords in a deal at the time and did the job nicely.
I got the Leon and took it out of the Polo and plugged it straight in to the Leon, no fuss, no mess, just plugged it in and it worked fine.
Now they've told me that its wiring is not compatible with my Leon and taken it out as i've said, but what i'd like to know is, is there a simple adaptor i can get to put it back in as while it wasn't a mega sound system it played my mp3 CD's and i liked it.
Or am i going to have to bite the bullet and buy a brand new one? I was thinking about taking it up Halfords and seeing what they said but figured you guys would know a lot better then them!!
