I used to have a Leon Cupra, not an 'R' model, it was remapped to similar power to that of the 'R' model and didn't have too much trouble with tyre wear. A set of fronts lasted me about 18,000 miles but I think the compound is softer for the R model hence wearing down quicker, you can cheat...

Well, I had my LC for 3.5 years and only changed it a month ago. After spending some cash on it (Remap, exhaust, DV etc.) I was going to sell last year, but couldn't do it. Before buying the LC I was after a Mk4 Golf, but could not find one that was 5dr, with a decent mileage and history for...

The only way to check is to get the garage to assess it, they can look at the state of the teeth on the belt and signs of fatigue, i.e cracking. I wasn't too sure when mine came up for a change, having only covered 38k, but the car was over 5 years old. This persuaded myself to get it done...

Sounds to me that the garage has fitted the honeycomb grille from the facelift Cupra (from '02) and not the correct part for a 2001 model. I first thought it might have been mixed up with one from a Cupra R as the grilles just underneath the bumper and badge are horizontal/vertical but...

Cheers fella, Yeah, I have checked out how to remove them all sorted there. The only other thought I have had is that the current ones 'fade' away when locking/unlocking the car or opening the doors. I guess will just turn off?

Have searched to see if there is anyone who has changed the interior bulbs on their Mk1 Leon, not talking about the W8 unit but if the bulbs themselves have been changed to either LED ones or anything more 'whiter' than the standard yellow looking ones. A search brought up the rear interior...

Looking good buddy, first TDi one i've seen and fits nicely. Mines a petrol so no problems with my OMP one. P.S - Your engine needs a clean !!!

Have you actually got a quote from the main dealer at all? Just give them a call to ask, what can happen? I often think main dealers are slagged off too much personally, my local main dealer has been servicing my Leon Cupra for the last 3 years, first 2 lots of 12 month serving was £150...

Autopia is the best place to get these, as mentioned already if the PC is being phased out, look for some deals on the site. I got mine from them but bought a package deal:- PC7424. 3 sonus pads (Light, medium & heavy cut) Velcro backing plate. Sonus swirl polish. 2 buffing bonnets. 2...

One other thing Andy, does a strut brace cause any fouling for this job?

Cheers Andy, appreciate your comments. I guess age is against me on this and not the mileage. Thanks for the price but a bit of a trek from Norwich ! I know a few specialist garages here so I will get some prices.

Hi all, After some advice please, my 2002 '52' Leon Cupra had its 40,000 mile service yesterday and I asked for them to check the condition of the cambelt out of curiosity. Needless to say they 'recommended' that it be changed fairly swiftly. Now the car has only covered 37k but of course...

As apposed to just changing your pads what about uprating the brake fluid? Would this help as better fluid wouldn't boil as quick, I was thinking about this, supply my dealer with the better fluid and get them to put that in instead as my service is due in December. Am I right? What is the...

Thats kinda of what I thought, but just read about the touch screen Sat Nav!! Cool !!

...quick advice required !! Those of you that purchased your Leon from new, did you go for any options?? I currently have a '52' Leon Cupra but getting the new shape FR I am growing to like more & more. The options list isn't too extensive from SEAT's website so I was after an idea as to...

Same here, my K&N is also on a petrol model. I hear that alot of folk get K&N issues, not for me touch wood.

What? For the cradle or the Dension ICE>link?

I have the Dension kit fitted to my car (www.ipodcarkitdirect.co.uk), plugs in the standard car stereo via the 6 CD port. I took out the multichanger and got a insert sleeve in the glovebox and therefore have more room. The do different size cradles to push fit your iPod but I bought the...

But by having that turbo means it emits more Co2, therefore putting it in the higher tax bracket. But yeah, £205 is bang out of order !! Be thankful though, the revised tax prices means Mazda RX-8 drivers get the whopping £300 price !!
