    Parts needed for aftermarket headunit swap!

    I thought trim code N87 was brilliant silver, and 47V was ona silver. I was told by the parts bloke at the dealers that ona silver was only on cars from 2005, and brilliant silver was since then.

    Leon MFD2 sat Nav

    Under £750 fitted, or under £750 and you fitted it yourself?? Does the MFD2 need the maps CD all the journey? I was in a Mercedes A class the other week that uses it to calculate the route, then you can take it out and listen to music.

    GUIDE: Retro fitting OEM Satnav MFD2/MFD3

    Just wondered... as these units have bluetooth, can you pair the headunit with a bluetooth GPS receiver and get around having to strip the dash out altogether?

    1st Service - Dealer or Specialist?

    My FR TDI is coming up to its first service due date, and I'm about to go looking for somewhere to get it done. I've asked the dealers how much it would be, and I've been told £250 all-in, which I think is a hell of a lot for a 1st service!! I've read on here that VAG specialists do the same...

    Whoops - Test drive goes wrong

    Longman, what company do you work for? I work for SAS Automotive, who build the cockpit and console assembly for the majority of VAG group, including the Leon in Martorell in Spain (we also do Porsche, Ford, Range Rover Sport & Discovery, BMW, Volvo). The same plastics supplier does most of...

    Head Unit change..

    Can anyone tell me how easy/difficult it would be to replace the existing MP3 Standard Head Unit with the one in the link? The connections and cables look very different, but I assume there are converters etc available to do the job? I know there are other posts, but not being too hot on car...

    FR vs CUPRA detailing differences

    I couldnt agree more! SEAT had got a bit of a reputation with younger drivers as cheap 2nd hand cars that could be 'altered' (chav'd or max'd etc etc) to make them look like they were straight out of The Fast And The Furious!!! I like the understated look, partly why I got the car.. it doesnt...

    Spikey things under my mats

    Mine have the spikes too, but they certainly dont stop them from moving around. I'm forever trying to reposition the mats and line up the screwtops with the holes in the mats again. :censored:

    Honest TDI FR Fuel Consumption

    Three and a half thousand miles on my FR TDi 170, and average according to the on board computer is 36.8, this is a mixture of all sorts of roads. I seem to average around 40 on a run from home (Brum) to the in laws (Croydon) on motorways, and if I'm really careful and granny it everywhere I can...

    FR Tdi Remap Options????

    http://www.p-torque.co.uk claim to have done a couple of 170's up to 200... might be worth asking about the issues with DPF. They dont list the 170 on the cars list under remap options, but on a previous thread on here they say they can do it. I would have tried it had I not spent the...

    Report to DVLA or not?

    Reported to DVLA.. apparently I have to do it in writing. Dont think the girl on the DVLA helpdesk really understood what I was talking about. Wasnt expecting anything from the dealers.. its more for the new owner. How would you like to buy a 55 plate Cupra and find out later its actually an...

    Report to DVLA or not?

    Last October I bought my TDi FR from Seat Birmingham, part exchanging my LHD Audi TT 180 in the deal. Recently I have received a letter from the DVLA thanking me for letting them know that I no longer own the vehicle. Nothing unusual there I hear you say. My issue is that when I part ex'd the...
