    Leon Cupra FR Diesel Advice at 50k

    50k is nothing to a diesel.. can't say much for a 2005 model as mine is a 2004 old shaped cupra/fr diesel but its done 47k and still feels as fresh as a daisy...slightly more idle rattle is only difference from new..performance and economy just the same as allways.

When the MY03 model came out the electric memory seats and the reverse dipping mirror were ditched apparently because they needed to free up a few bytes of space in the ecu for...

    hot weather = poor performance?

    yep 12 degrees C and below is the temp I regard as full power once ambient temp rises above 12 degrees then you need to keep engine temps down to retain as much power for when you might need it..so revs as low as poss and don't use full throttle unless you really need it.
