    Looking to buy first Leon

    moldy bonnet lining is normal as there were problems with clips holding it and rain water was leaking through. Revised version was available from dealers and fitted free of charge along with new bonnet lining. mayo is typical for cold weather, nothing to worry about, just some condensation...

    Engine management light on

    ok UPDATE Yesterday all I've done is tighten up the fuel cap (always just go to 1 click, tightened it now 4 more clicks. This morning - EML is not on!!! I'll see how it behaves over next couple of days but looks promising!

    Engine management light on

    I'll dig out old topic - I've had this error on and off for last couple of months.... dealer tried "cleaning procedures" 2 times and 3rd time replaced the chaorcal carnister and that helped for like 2 weeks (error used to come back quite quickly before that). So now its here again and I don't...

    4 year service with DSG

    Ended up going ahead with this offer so £495 4 year service (inc spark plugs) + cambelt + water pump. A lot of money but this is the most expensive of all services so have to just bite the bullet.

    4 year service with DSG

    they do, this local garage seems to be doing "half price deal" as well but regardless how I calculate it I can't work out how they add things up. Service should be £249, cambelt £299 but that doesn't include water pump so that would be what, another £100? making it £650 in total which should...

    4 year service with DSG

    I'm close to start pulling my hair out! Called couple of local dealers and I'm getting mixed quotes for the service not to mention that some are saying that they have never serviced DSG gearboxes.... I got a quote from Western Seat for service as follows £495 cambelt, water pump, spark plugs...

    question for the taller drivers amongst us

    like above, I'm 6ft 3 and Leon is one of the more comfortable cars I've driven. Very very good leg room under steering wheel and I don't need to move seat all the way back leaving room for passengers behind.

    mirror help

    if the base is only loose, not completely fcked then it may just need to be tightened and for this you do not need to dismantle whole door (which is a nightmare). With extension and universal joint there's enough space through the speaker whole to do the job. Just.

    Slow dsg change

    exactly - I was about to post the same - if you catch it out thinking you'd go up and you try to shift down (two gears) it will take around 1 to 1.5 seconds and it is noticeable but to be honest - this hardly ever happens to me...

    Heated wing mirror not working

    yeah it just pulls out but its quite delicate so make sure you don't crack the glass... on the other hand I can almost guarantee you that its not the connection but the heating pad that failed in the mirror so you'd need to replace it anyway (glass element) quite common problem I think, some...

    MK6 Gti / Leon

    it looks like that's what he's asking for. I don't think that either of those would fit actually - both mk5 and mk6 will probably be different if you look at whole system from the turbo to the end.

    FR DSG Launch control

    Lol I'm not but clearly you like to have a go at people for no reason. Anyway there's banter and there's just silly picking. Guy just asked a question like normal and you assuming he's racing others off the lights.... take a chill pill dude.

    FR DSG Launch control

    that's not an opinion, that's having a dig at someone and making unnecessary assumptions. Opinion would be if you said using "LC is not good for your car"...

    FR DSG Launch control

    try in reverse order. roll to a stop, put in S or Manual, press and hold ESP until it flashes, left foot on a brake, right on accelerator and it should go to about just over 3k revs and hover around there. Then release brake and go. what I found out is that LC isn't necessarily quickest way to...
