  1. Need help on a mk3 ST 184 dsg FL

    I think most questions have been answered but I agree with the other posts that mention the price is a bit steep. I was offered 10K for my 2016 about 1.5 years ago and it has done way less mileage then that
  2. Glow plug nightmare!

    Just an update on this... I finally have my car back and not driving around in a hateful Corsa courtesy car anymore. They had to drill 3 of the 4 out in the end to the tune of £110 a pop. Luckily they got them out without having to take the manifold off as that would have added £260 to the...
  3. Check oil level! Warning Light

    What engine is it? There are different recommendations as to when you should check the oil dependant (I think) on the engine. For my 184 its after the engine is up to running temperature, so I usually check it once I'm home after my commute, and recommends that it should be left for a couple...
  4. Glow plug nightmare!

    Unless they need doing mate I wouldn't bother, seems like its more hassle than its worth. Somehow it has apparently burnt out 3 of the 4 in not even that long so hoping I just got unlucky and dont have to go through this every few years.
  5. Glow plug nightmare!

    This exactly, think they've snapped them and rather then admit it they've just sent me on my way with some excuse. That was my thought too who's meant to be the specialist if they're not... Will definitely update when I've spoken to them. Spoke to Seat CS about it and it was one of the most...
  6. Glow plug nightmare!

    Just a little rant... EML came on a couple of weeks ago so ran it through Carista which tells me that the glow plug on cylinder 1 is kaput. Take the car to Seat so they could 'see which brand of glow plug it is to make sure they order the right one' only for them to tell me they cant get them...
  7. Shell diesel vs supermarket diesel

    I ran mine on Asda diesel for a little while as it was so so cheap at the time compared to even the normal shell stuff and it was horrible, used way more fuel and was doing DPF regens all the time. Switched to the normal shell stuff and its miles better, more MPG and fewer regens. I sit on...
  8. Cupra 300 vs Fiesta ST ?

    Going against the grain...if I needed a small second car that was fun to drive the Fiesta would be top of my list. Have zero issues with Fords and they are meant to be great little cars. So much so that when the wife passes her driving test am thinking of 'giving' her the Leon and getting a...
  9. Wheel arch plastic and underbody plastics

    Mine went in the exact same place a couple of weeks ago. Had this horrendous noise coming from the wheel arch on full lock and immediately thought the worst. Checked there and there was a massive bit of it hanging off directly into the wheelarch. Relieved and annoyed as that shouldnt be...
  10. Dickheads with dash cams

    I bought one after being one car behind a massive accident on the motorway - the guy at fault was a complete knob about it and had I had one at the time it would have saved a lot of hassle and backwards and forwards with the police. No need to use any evidence myself yet luckily but it is nice...
  11. MP3 / Music Play & Streaming Options on Mk3 Leon

    Mine is a 2016 plate registered in April of that year and it has full link and Android Auto on it. I think it might be 2016 that it came in so you might get lucky and find one with it
  12. I’ve messed up I need help

    Do you know what the issue was? Might be good to know if someone else is in the same position.
  13. Is it possible to control the touchscreen in the 2019 model with the driving wheel?

    Nope I dont have the digital cockpit. You can change tracks with the button on the steering while, I think if you push the wheel it might mute the sound too. The voice control on Android Auto is very good, long hold of the voice button the steering wheel and it will use google assistant...
  14. Is it possible to control the touchscreen in the 2019 model with the driving wheel?

    What are you trying to do? Whilst driving I find that I can do most of what I want from the steering wheel without having to use the touchscreen
  15. Mk3 184 diesel FR, what to look for.

    Done over 40k in mine in 3.5 years and there nothing major to report. It just seems to do what I need it to do very well...
  16. Help me choose please! Leon FRs...

    With used prices like that I wouldnt be looking to lease, it just doesnt seem worth it. I drove a 150 TDI before I got the 184 and it really did feel lacking, can imagine the MPG would be insane though. My commute is about 50 miles a day with about the same annual mileage as you mention, and...
  17. What tracker/immobilisers are people using?

    Most insurers will give you money off if you have a tracker fitted, this time I had to send them proof that the subscription was active but that wasnt too much effort. I also got 20 quid off my renewal for having a dashcam fitted which I didnt think was too bad
  18. Will new MK4 Leon have a powerful diesel engine?

    The new Audi S4 and I think S5 are diesel only, so I dont think it is dead. Saying that it doesnt necessarily mean Seat will offer it for the new Leon...
  19. What brand wipers do you use?

    Bosch on mine too and zero issues. Not sure what was on there before but they were awful, the rear especially would judder and make a horrible noise everytime I used it from the moment I got the car until it got changed over
  20. Mountune for VW group?

    If it doesnt keep the warranty its not a big deal imo. From experience their stuff is overpriced, that's if they ever have it in stock!
