You really couldn't make this stuff up. Keep us posted 🤞

That's awful. Hope you get a good resolution. On the positive side; at least you know why its leaking now ;):rolleyes:

Possibly. The whole VW group fared pretty badly in that survey. "If only everything in life was as reliable as a Volkswagen"? Not any more it seems

Did they tell you when it went in that the 'recall' was voluntary and you didn't need to have it done?

You're right. There has been quite a good selection of excuses made by dealers as to why it's not covered by warranty: "someone must have backed into it" "someone must have stolen it" "you must have jet-washed it" "your dog must have eaten it" OK I made the last one up, but it's no more...

I've had a quick mooch about the on WWW and can't find anywhere that states this software update is a recall in the UK. Did the dealership state it was a recall (which suggests that it's a mandatory thing) or just a software update?

Sounds very similar to the 'update' carried out on Mercedes Diesels. Interesting that your quoted article states it's mandatory (maybe it is in Germany), because it isn't in the UK (at least on Mercs)

Our Leon ST came with Hankooks from the factory and (being both tight and OCD) when the fronts needed replacing I went with the same again so all 4 matched. Next time round - which won't be long by the looks of things - I'll replace all 4 with something else. That said, apart from the cracking...

It appears to be a Hankook thing; these were fitted 18 months ago.

I've adder problem with them once or twice.

I've used the Twenty20 bulbs before and found them to be really good. Replaced the reversing light bulb in our Leon with one 5 years ago and had no problems. No bulb out warning (I'm guessing the CANBus bulb out check doesn't include the reversing light) and super bright. The Leon only needs...

Sorry to hear this. I can understand you wanting to get your car put back together, The issue may be: you may never get the smell of smoke out of the interior without replacing everything How much water damage is there to the electrics / ECUs? Of course, with enough time, enthusiasm and money...

All those considering using the biscuit tin option are more than welcome to send their 'homeless' biscuits to me. In terms of what tin is best for KESSY key storage, I recommend one of these: The tin is TBF a tad bigger than it needs to be for key storage; they just happen to be my fave...

Is anyone like me and old enough to remember "Mr Angry from Purley" on the late, great Steve Wright's show. Just sayin' :p

Wheel off and push it out from the back is probably the safest option.

It was the very reason Mrs Seriously? didn't trade her 5F in for a new Leon. She took one look at the interior and pronounced that she wasn't having any of it. Actually, she said a lot more. None of which I can repeat on a public forum. But it wasn't altogether complimentary :eek: 🙉

Oh dear. Back to the dealership you go......and yes, they have fitted the wrong part:doh:
