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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

Hi all, My 2008 Leon 1.6 petrol (1p1) engine code BSE has been misfiring on idle for the last few days. When on higher revs and normal driving it seems to run fine. On idle it knocks, misfires and generally sounds terrible. Idle is around 650rpm which is lower than usual. When the engine is...

I'm tempted by a Cupra R I've seen recently, is there a buyer's guide for Cupra/Cupra R's around? What kind of things should I be looking out for? Is the timing chain really something to be worried about? Etc.

I just bought a genuine arm rest off ebay but it didn't come with the screws. Can anyone tell me the size needed so I can buy some from a hardware shop? Thanks

I'm looking for a genuine SEAT boot liner and one I've found that looks good is for a 2010 model, which I believe is the facelift? If so were there any changes in the boot shape between them, or will it fit with no problems? Does anyone have any photos of a genuine boot liner? I've seen a few...
