    How to remove the door lock actuator?

    Update, I managed to do it. These helpful German guys were doing the same thing and I could see how they did it. You unscrew the bolt which holds in the small part of the outer door handle found under a cover just above where the actuator bolts into the door, which then allows the big part to...

    How to remove the door lock actuator?

    Hi everyone, My passenger door started not opening from the outside, then it could be opened anytime and wouldn't lock with the remote. I'm trying to change the lock actuator but for the life of me I can't work out how to remove the last cable, does anyone know the trick? The cable is attached...

    ABS and TC lights on, handbrake light flashing

    Hi all, driving along today (2008 1.6 petrol) and the dash started beeping, the traction control and ABS lights came on, and the handbrake light flashes continuously. Want to check here before I go digging more and getting OBDII codes, I'm guessing this is probably a faulty ABS sensor...

    Front passenger door doesn't lock

    Too late :( I managed to get one of the bolts back in but the other won't bite onto anything. I didn't even take the card off at all. I'll have to do it another time.

    Front passenger door doesn't lock

    Thanks, mine is a UK RHD Leon, 2008. How do you take the door card off? Or can you change the lock without doing that? I want to check the connector pins but I've seen conflicting advice about how to remove the card.

    Front passenger door doesn't lock

    Hi, I have a 2008 1P1 Leon. The front passenger door stopped opening from the outside a few years ago, so I did the drill + WD40 trick and it worked fine for a while. Recently I heard a grinding noise from the door whenever the auto-locking clicked on after moving. After a few days it broke...

    Changing the front dipped and main headlight bulbs?

    1.6 Leon 1p1 engine, 2008. The driver's side dipped is easy enough. But the passenger side has the air intake hose from the front going right next to the metal clip so you can't push it down to release it. Also the main beams are behind that circular rubber cover and look basically impossible...

    Slightly out of date oil, opinions?

    On the back in that typical dot matrix text you normally see used for sell by dates, it has "E022007 02 MAR 20 11:19". Perhaps this is actually just the datetime of manufacture?

    Slightly out of date oil, opinions?

    I bought some Quantum Longlife III 5W30 oil (comes in a boxed bag like cheap wine, classy) to do an oil change on my 1.6 petrol. The date on the side looks like it says Mar 20. I've been lazy and haven't done it yet although I bought it back in the summer. It was off ebay from a VW dealership's...

    Leon 1P 1.6, faulty folding wing mirrors

    Yeah that's what I do, just leave them alone and not use them. Still, it would be nice to get them working.

    Leon 1P 1.6, faulty folding wing mirrors

    Hi all, My 2008 1.6 1P Leon has had faulty wing mirrors since I bought it about 3 years ago. I was wondering if anyone knows what the problem is, and has any advice or links to a good guide for fixing them. They are electronically adjustable, folding, and heated. The heating element works fine...

    What's wrong with my door handle?

    Thanks, just tried it out and it worked perfectly. That large trim piece was a PITA to get off even with trim tools, though! Going to leave it unassembled for a day or two just in case but it seems to be working fine.

    What's wrong with my door handle?

    Thanks for responding. Is this the same issue? I saw that video earlier, but my handle works fine once opened from the inside. If the mechanism was bad wouldn't you be able to feel it when operating?

    What's wrong with my door handle?

    Hi all, my passenger front door handle no longer unlocks when the key is pressed. But once you open it from the inside, it opens and closes perfectly from either side until it's locked again with the key. Does anyone have the part number for the right hand drive front passenger door lock...

    What front shocks size on a 1p1?

    I need to get new front shocks as mine have the classic 'misting of oil' on a recent MOT. I've found some Bilstein B4's that have the outside diameter of 50mm. Is this correct or is it 55mm, or another size? Car: 2008 1p1 Mk2 Seat Leon, 1.6 petrol BSE engine Thanks

    Anyone running a dashcam in their Mk2?

    I just tucked the cable into the seam between the panels, worked fine for me.

    Armrest broke

    I paid about £80-90 for mine. It's worth it as it makes driving so much more comfortable and when I sell the car it will be put on ebay to sell separately, I'll probably get my money back for it.
