2009 (59plate equivalent)... Leon 1.9 tdi S, 11500miles, picked up two weeks ago!

Mine is doing this now too, anti-pinch feature kicks in, only when in direct sunlight (heats panel etc up). Seems to be different parts expanding differently and siezing the mechanis up a bit and more to the rear portion of the door.

You need to run the feed to the rear of the head light switch, there is an illumination setting wheel on the switch panel. connet the feed to here using an aligator/scotch connector (not sure of proper name?) that clips over the wire and splices itself on the the wire.

I have the swimming pool option fitted at present.... bulb has blown/corroded holder. Only one problem i have is, how to get the bulb and lense unit out, to replace bulb/holder and seal the damn thing before replacing..

Seems like your Dual mass flywheel has got issues (DMF). If not this a serious un-balance of a wheel/tyre.

I got them from Agnew Seat Belfast, Try David @ SERE, he has a section on here. If i remember correctly they were around £30. I have manual folding mirrors, straight swap with black/colour coded type.

Sounds like the rear camber alignment problem again! Mine 'rumbled' for a long time until I found out about the camber settings, mine were 1degree off on each side. 2.26degrees of camber where the system stated 1.19degree. Problem cured.

I've had the alarm going by walking past the thing (windows open - e.g.warm day). flies could set it off i guess!

Did you take the disc off and check if warped (or leave on and measure runout using a guage). Take guide pins out and clean up, then apply a liberal layer of copper grease or 'black' greasee to lube, ensure end caps are in place too, to prevent dirt etc getting in. As Cripdust also says...

I have 215/45/17 on mine, went from 225 to 215, slight stretch, wouldnt go lower though. all is ok, had slight rubbing on the 225's none as yet with 215's.

105PD engine in yours.

Just use a small brush and a quick wip over the surface, not too much required. Just dont get it on the braking surface......:drive1:

Usuallt the rears that gave people the more bother! Fronts are pretty simple to do. Copper gearse on te rear of the pad etc to prevent sqealing etc, tidy up sliders and other moving parts from dirt and road salt from the winter. mine were a bit on the sticky side with the salt, cleaned and...

Me.....although i have dropped just about everything else.

Gazport, just pull upwards from the front, then when the cover lifts off the supporting lugs, pull towards yourself, sliding off the rear forked support. fit in reverse.

My intercooler joint kept blowing off too, a large jubilee clip with a bolt fastening on it and some nonsetting gasket sealant later and not blow off or leaks.....

Are you holding the button in for a few seconds until you hear a bong, then light should go off? P.s. what is your mpg like in the 1.9tdi?

phone customer services and log the complaint - demand the warranty upheld in this case.

Seems a bit low, but I have seen people getting the extremes in mpg with these engines, 1.9tdi and 2.0 tdi. I get on average 41mpg from a 1.9tdi (no remap), others getting consistant 600-650miles per tank, my best is 540miles/per tank, absolute best! Worst 390miles. check joins between...
