    Squeaky Passenger Door

    Having asked Seat to look at this twice now and both times it's come back unfixed, I think the time has come for me to have a go at it. How easy is taking the door card and interior bits off? I am pretty hamfisted but I don't think it can be anything more complicated than a loose screw or...

    Remapping a DSG TDi Leon - is it safe / worth it?

    Thanks for the reply Phil. What map did you have? I am looking at Revo as they are doing a special offer at the moment with a free selector switch to turn it off, which I would definitely want. I think they promise circa 180bhp but I'm not sure what kind of torque it is meant to give, and...

    Windscreen Washer problem

    Well more of a squeak to be fair - passenger front door panel squeaks under bumps and loud music. Comes and goes though, which is odd, but if you pull the panel something is quite obviously loose. Rob

    Windscreen Washer problem

    It's under warranty and I have no idea what I'm looking at, so it's booked in for Tuesday at the dealers. I have a rattle I want sorting as well, so ideal opportunity. Needs a clean as well. :p Rob

    Remapping a DSG TDi Leon - is it safe / worth it?

    Basically is it a good idea? Having done some research and searches, it seems the DSG box is limited to 350nm of torque. As the 140PS Leon already puts out 320, is it even worth it if you have to strangle the remap for fear of blowing up the delicate DSG box? Read the following article...

    Windscreen Washer problem

    Doesn't seem to be - tricky to tell as the ground is wet underneath, but it doesn't seem to be losing washer fluid. Also I would expect it to make some kind of noise like it's trying, like the motor sound but it's just dead when you pull the stalk. Guess I had better get on the blower to...

    Windscreen Washer problem

    Hi guys Got a problem with my Leon's windscreen washers. On the way home yesterday I went to use it and nothing happened. I thought it had just run out of stuff as I have been using it a lot recently (though I had expected a warning light to tell me it was low). When I got home I refilled...

    Why don't they do sports pedals as an option on Leons?

    What about DSG cars? Guessing there must be something available for the R32 / GTi / FR that could be put on, and if so, where from and how much? Cheers Rob

    Should i have an engine cover?

    Is it worth the money for the reduction in engine noise though? I don't care about anything else, as that's all they're there for. Rob

    Should i have an engine cover?

    A dealer quoted me £146 inc VAT to supply the parts needed to add one. Apparently according to him you need some parts other than the engine cover, like the bolts and the spongey insulation bit underneath the cover. I can post the part numbers if you want, but to be honest I feel it's an...

    Squeaky Passenger Door

    Nobody got any suggestions for this please? :-( I have searched but can't find anything. Cheers Rob

    Engine Cover

    Hi, PM sent, I may be interested in this. Please email me P&P cost to London and whether it contains the muffling sponge bit and all the brackets my dealer advised me I'd need. Cheers Rob

    I have a Nokia that works with the Bluetooth system!

    Correct - it does work but no phonebook transfer, and it seems to sporadically disconnect then reconnect sometimes (definitely more often than my trusty old 6230 does which I also use with the car as my work phone) Rob

    I have a Nokia that works with the Bluetooth system!

    Interesting. Out of the box the 6220 'Classic' doesn't work properly, but I might go on a hunt for new firmware, as I thought it ran on largely the same OS as the N95 and E71. I'd like to be able to make it work, it's a pain. Anybody know if this phone can be made to work? Rob

    DSG - yes or no

    I would say 'utter shite' is maybe a bit harsh on the diesel application of DSG. I have it on a PD140 and the only thing I don't like is the absence of paddles (and frankly I don't understand why it isn't an option, I would have paid for it, and indeed still would if I could find someone to...

    Squeaky Passenger Door

    Hey all As per the title really - my front left hand door has developed a rather annoying squeak. Not a rattle, definitely a squeak. And worse still, it's intermittent. It can vanish for days, then reappear and stay for a while, squeaking on loud bass notes of the speaker or bumps. When...

    Remapped 140

    How about with DSG equipped cars? I would like to remap but am scared it'd just mess up the gearbox as the auto programmes are designed to operate with it as standard. Plus I do a lot of miles around town so don't want to compromise reliability, engine life, the gearbox or smoothness in town...

    The 315PS Cupra! (56K Beware!)

    Looks excellent - mean but discrete. Sadly the thing I would be most keen to know is where you got the teddy! :-) Rob

    New Pirelli tyre and pressure monitor - mixing Pirelli P Zero & P7s

    OK, cheers guys. I didn't really want to go to the expense or hassle of either changing the new P-Zero back to a P7 or swapping the P7 to a P-Zero. So it looks like for left hand bends I will have 'ultra high performance' and for right hand bends just 'high performance' :rolleyes: I'm...

    DSG Paddles on standard Leon TDI?

    Tell me about it, it makes no sense. I would have definitely paid the extra as an option for it. So can they be retro-fitted? Rob
