    Carlinkit 5.0 2air (Android Auto) - Before I chuck it out of the window......

    Hi all, My Samsung S23 Ultra works perfect when connected wired to my Leon 2016 with Android Auto. I fancied converting it to wireless so I didn't have to fanny about plugging my phone in, putting it in the cradle, etc. I had a look about and chose the Carlinkit 5.0 2air as it is CarPlay and...

    184FR hunting/misfire from cold startup when outside temp is low

    This has happened before under the same conditions. If the car has been left for a few days in low temperatures, then I start it up and let it idle for a bit longer than usual, it starts misfiring/hunting where the revs go up and down between 750-1000. Anytime when this has happened, I've just...

    Servicing - Oil grades

    I took my Leon 184FR TDi to the local SEAT dealer for it 3rd LongLife service. I mentioned to the them not to forget about the free breakdown cover. I've mentioned this every year an assumed all was ok. Yesterday I was told you don't get the free breakdown cover with LongLife services. As I do...

    Different tyre pressures on two 184 FR's

    My friend and I have identical 5-door Leon 184 FR's. The other day, I had to pump the tyres up and the label in the fuel filler cap said 38psi rear 41psi front for three passengers and light luggage. I mentioned this to my friend and he said that his is 30psi rear and 33psi front. We took a look...

    Any 3-door Leon owners after a genuine SEAT Aerodynamic body kit?

    The Fish Brothers are an official SEAT dealership and selling, through eBay, genuine SEAT Aerodynamic side skirts and rear spoiler for the 3-door Leon for £80 and £75 respectively (+P&P). £155 for the whole kit is crazy! They've listed the rear spoiler with the wrong part number, so I'd confirm...

    Cornering fog lights

    Has anyone enabled the cornering fog lights with Carista/OBDeleven and only have the rear parking sensors? I'm asking as I had a courtesy car, an Ateca, yesterday and found the cornering fog lights quite handy last night. As my Leon doesn't have the front parking sensors, I've got a feeling that...

    Aviva insurance - Any luck declaring a DTUK tuning box?

    I've been thinking about buying a DTUK CRD3+/CRD-t box for my 184FR, so I thought I'd have a chat with Aviva first to see how much I'd get stung. After a long webchat, they asked if it would increase the performance, I said yes, from 184 to 240. Even though 240 is unlikely, I had to quote that...

    SA Tuning's #truetune

    Has anyone looked new into SA Tuning's #truetune OBD personal remapping tool? I was going to get a 2nd hand DTUK box for my 184FR, and then to be on the safe side, get them to put the latest Leon 184 map on it. But after that, I'd be near to paying for the #truetune tool. After watching a video...

    Hi, Has anyone experienced their autolights being on more often than not, during bright daylight hours? Where is the sensor for the autolights, just in case it needs cleaning? Thanks, Steve

    Prices for fitting side-skirts and rear spoiler

    For those who have fitted side-skirts and the rear spoiler to their Leon, how much did you pay to get them painted and fitted? I've been quoted £900, and I'd still have to supply the bonding kits! That's a total of around £1300 when including the skirts and spoiler.... the SEAT price of around...

    184FR - Feels under-powered when cold/warming up

    When I had a Focus ST170, it would restrict the power until the engine had reached a certain temperature. Does anyone know if the 184FR engine works in a similar way, as mine feels under-powered when it’s cold/warming up? To get it to do anything half nippy, it requires quite a bit of a heavy...

    184FR TDi - Squeal noise when engine is cold

    When I start the engine from cold, I get a squeal noise from the engine bay which sounds like something from the shower scene in Psycho! It's a pulse, probably two a second, and sounds like a belt or water pump noise. If you rev the engine, it does speed up the frequency of the noise. Once the...

    Has anyone got the SEAT space saver spare wheel kit?

    Hi, If anyone's got the above kit for their Leon, do you know if it comes with 5 spare wheel bolts? I'm asking as I'm trying to buy the bits separately to make up the kit, and my friends Leon has the bolts for steel wheels. I've never seen or read about the SEAT kit coming with them. She wasn't...

    LED headlight aim

    My issue is that if I was driving on unknown back roads at night, I'd be lucky if I could do over 50 MPH due to the LED headlight aim being a fraction too low and only lighting up a short distance in front. It does all the down and up self levelling when you start the car, so I know there's no...

    Not able to select 'Driving Mode'

    Hi all, On Saturday, I picked up a 1 year old Seat Leon FR 2.0 TDi 184 and have been very happy with it. Today whilst driving to work, it wouldn't allow me to change the 'Driving Mode'. When I pressed the button, it lit whilst being pressed, but goes out as soon as I released the button...
