    Fitting TTRS Clutch to a manual 2016 290 ST - Any experiences?

    Hi All, My 290 ST has a stage one map on it putting out around 370 BHP. The pedal is not popping back up when cold and it is difficult at times to get it to go into 2nd gear. There also the odd whiff of clutch at times. The garage I went to said that these were signs of the clutch being on...

    Large amounts of condensation on the inside of the windscreen.

    When I had my windscreen replaced the tech suggested to keep some silica gel packets that you get from some food containers in the car. They suck up the moisture. Also I used a dehumidifier aero 360 in one of my old cars that was sitting on the drive for a while and did defiantly leak like an...

    Best wheel cleaner? (Cupra 290)

    I have those wheels and my detailer hates them! They are so difficult to get into the nooks and clean. Mine have also got some defects on them as well as a little curbing so I'm going to have to just get them refurbished. The bilberry wash is very good and does not smell too evil.

    Anyone used Ferodo pads with the 370 mm Brembos?

    I've been using EBC redstuff pads add I had lots of warping issues with the stock pads and the brembo discs. I have not tried the Ferodos as the red stuff gave me much better peddle feel and so far have not warped the discs.

    OBDeleven modifications

    Wow great detail as always guys - thanks again. Looks like it is much more complex than I had hoped. So it is actually not an option on any Leon as standard then? Seems Seat are missing a trick but it is what it is.

    I had this issue twice with my brembo kit. The disks warped both times within 10k of changing them. Seat refused any warranty claim. In the end I changed to ebc redstuff pads with new disks to see if they were better. They have been much better, the feel is improved and there is no scoring...
