    Fusebox picture

    I'm looking for a 12v ignition switched power signal from the fusebox for my 07 Leon FR, and have noted that the top right fuse gives 12v when the ignition is on. It switches off immediately that the ignition is switched off though, and I was hoping to find an 12v switched power that works until...

    Good luck, you'd have hoped it would have been easier to find out how to change the language. It will only accept an original TravelPilot CD apparently too.

    RNS300

    I literally just thought that when I re-read your post! Sorry, lol! Do you have the English DVD for it? From reading around, some posts are saying factory reset the unit and put in the English DVD, and it should reset the language. Failing that, other posts are mentioning using VAGCOM to...

    RNS300

    Really? Both are in English for me, even opening the links above. Note that the workshop-manual site is a bit annoying to use, but the link I gave you opens in English, and the PDF file is in English?

    Couldn't find the exact manual without with paying or signing up to something sketchy, but there are these. Not sure if it will help: https://workshop-manuals.com/volkswagen/golf-mk5/vehicle_electrics/communication/infotainment/radio_navigation_system_quot;rns_300/...

    Android head unit

    I would test the pin outs from the car ISO connector to the headunit to ensure that the battery 12v and ground cable are working as expected. wiggle the wires if you can with the probes connected to make sure. Then plugin the headunit cable block to the headunit itself and check the voltage at...

    Installing a Sub - with Pics

    This thread is extremely useful. I have now pushed an amp power cable through the suggested teat and I am a happy man. Removing the rest of the trim to run the cable is more than awkward.

    Nice tip - I noticed my passenger side sticking so will be spraying them both tomorrow.

    Door soundproofing help!

    Good grief Leon doors do rattle!, I've upgraded my door speakers, however with the now much better bass, all four doors have flabby vibration rattles when the bass kicks. I've skinned the outer panel of each door with bitumen (Roadkill) sheets, however the flab still remains. I've started to...

    Replacing the tweeter in the door handle mount

    Hi all, Wondering how to actually remove the tweeter from the door handle unit to upgrade it - I have the handle mount removed from the cloth panel in my hand but cannot see an easy way to release the tweeter. There are a few threads on here but the images have expired, and I'd like to be able...

    Found Any Rust On Your Mk2?

    Had a thought while reading this thread. Would it be a reasonable idea to attempt to seal the gap as far as possible between the rear window and the boot (tailgate) to stop rust from the water pool? I've only had the car a week or two and have noticed the pooling which is already annoying me...

    Seat leon 2.0 tfsi 2009 mk2 noise

    Mine has only done 53K, but I have done a bit of testing and it seems that I can only hear the tapping noise when the fan is on for the heater, and then only occasionally. It doesn't seem to get any louder if the fan is on high, but I can turn the fan off and on (to the lowest setting) and...

    Seat leon 2.0 tfsi 2009 mk2 noise

    I bought a TFSI 2.0 '07 a couple of weeks ago after driving Ibiza Mk2's for the last 13 years, and I've noticed a noise similar to the one you describe when idling, or coming to an idle on occasion while waiting at lights. The noise is like a tapping noise that lasts for a few seconds and is...

    Whats this bit called, and how do I replace it?

    @bete noir ,thank you very much indeed for the information - I have been reading around and have decided that a gear relay rebuild kit is probably on the cards - there are a good couple of threads that I've found that describe what needs to be done. Thanks again, and one day soon I'll have all...

    Whats this bit called, and how do I replace it?

    Hi all, I'm having trouble getting into 1st and 2nd gear. 3rd 4th and 5th are ok, as is reverse, just 1 and 2. I've had a look at the linkage and the bit I've circled on this picture http://postimg.org/image/m4oh9l1xz/ doesn't look like the same bit on my old car - the old car has a...

    You Know You have a mk2 Ibiza When........

    **Thread revival** When you change the front left headlight and it still doesn't work. When you check the fuse box and there is no spare fuse. When you choose a 10A fuse to rob for the time being, and realise that fuse 3 looks good - the front plate light. When you look at the front of...

    Airbag wiring harness clip

    Thanks, you just have to pull it out as I found out. I didn't want to break anything so was reluctant to use too much force. TBH, I didn't need to take the airbag out - I disconnected the cable under the steering column shroud and stuck a little piece of wire between each contact coming...

    Airbag wiring harness clip

    Hi, Please could someone explain how to disconnect the wiring harness from the airbag on my 99 Mk2 steering wheel - Haynes says to disconnect the yellow plug from the back of the airbag, but it wont come off/out/up easily and I dont want to break it. Is there a trick I'm missing? Trying to...

    clutch cable hell

    Sorted. Needed another pair of hands to compress the cable just that little bit further while attaching the retainer clip.
