  1. 2.0 tsi 190 ??

    Do we have any more news on the 2.0 TSI 190ish engine appearing in the UK Leon Mk4? It's gone very quiet again. Noticed you can spec the Ateca with this engine now, so I've not given up hope yet!
  2. New Hybrid

    Am I correct in assuming that even on an indicated 'zero' battery level, if you put the car on a rolling road you will still achieve ~204PS Until I started reading these threads, I was also under the impression once the battery was almost empty it was game over, and you would come crashing back...
  3. New Hybrid

    @AndrewJB - I'm interested to know what Real World MPG figures you are getting in hybrid mode (battery + engine) for various journeys (around town, motorway etc), with a full, partial and depleted battery. I'm currently looking at this engine setup vs 2.0 190PS (fingers crossed it still gets...
  4. Anyone into Metal/Heavy Metal music?

    ?Another Metal fan ? I'll admit to being a bit 'boring' since lockdown, and not listened to much! Having listened to that Crystal Lake track above, it's encouraged me to start hunting down some new bands to listen to.....
  5. Which battery?

    Good call on taking the car out for 20+ min drive. New battery installed, left it a couple of hours and took the car out on the motorway. Dash initially lit up like Blackpool Illuminations, very juddery drive first 5 mins. Followed by a DPF regen and lights went out. Car and driver are happy...
  6. Which battery?

    Breakdown recovery kindly diagnosed a faulty car battery cell with my 08 Leon FR TDI, I think it's almost dead as nothing now works other than the alarm LED! Is there anything I need to be aware of before swapping the battery out? I've found the radio code just in case, but keep hearing reports...
  7. What would you like to see in our MK4 SEAT Leon FR review?

    Storage - cup holders, glove box, door compartments etc. As mentioned above, how easy is it to use the touchscreen - especially when driving. How quickly can you access the system to demist the screen whilst driving if it suddenly mists up for example. The lack of buttons makes me think we'll be...
  8. New Leon mk4 thoughts

    Is the Leon still due to get the 2.0 TSI 190PS engine? Do we have any idea on UK availability?
  9. DPF isn't regenerating - 1st time light

    Forced regen, new pressure sensor, new injectors and wiring loom, washed and vacuumed. Car so much smoother to drive. Appears to have reduced (if not removed) a slight hesitation as turbo spooled up on occasion. Thanks for all your input :)
  10. DPF isn't regenerating - 1st time light

    Drove to the dealers, both lights still on. Revs 750 rpm - stop start traffic. Pulled into the car park, DPF light goes out!! Still got the EML on. No way the DPF did a regen this morning (less than 4 miles). I await the verdict later this afternoon.
  11. Leon FR PD170 TDi Injector problem

    Mines in today having the injectors looked at (and I assume replaced).
  12. DPF isn't regenerating - 1st time light

    Phoned around a couple of VAG specialists (Awesome, VW Centre St Helens) and both hinting DPF forced regen and pressure sesnsor and not to drive any great length due to both lights on. Quoted same price. Contacted SEAT IMG and enquired about injector recall (yes I'm on the list). Quote for regen...
  13. Distant screeching noise, bit like a fan belt.

    Same year, same car, same noise. I never got to the bottom of it, other than low revs and accelerating. Hasnt been a problem.
  14. HELP!!!!!! Can't get the key in the ignition!

    Happened to me a year or so ago? Posted on here at the time. I thought i was going mad, then all of a sudden key went in! :)
  15. DPF isn't regenerating - 1st time light

    Had a chat with an VAG specialist. Advised whilst I could still drive the car, it risks going beyond the point of no return (replacement DPF). As it stands suggested I only drive it to a garage due to the fact the EML light came on so quickly. So, I'm in the process of getting quotes for DPF...
  16. DPF isn't regenerating - 1st time light

    Update: Had to move cars around on drive. Started Leon, 1k rpm revs, DPF & Engine Management lights ON and the following message of the MFD: "Diesel Particulate (sp?) Filter Instructions" Oh, and my daughter isn't well...but that's a different story! Left car on drive for now. Is this...
  17. DPF isn't regenerating - 1st time light

    Original injectors at the moment. Having read the thread it explains why I kept stalling a few months ago. Put it down to "user error" now I'm not so sure. It's on my 'to do' list this month. Engine code BMN. I've not been officially advised to get them checked by SEAT yet.
  18. VAG Com Warrington/ North West?

    /dev/null - I'll let you know. Worried about driving the car (especially if more than the DPF light comes on) and the shorter the driving distance, the more at ease I'd be! Cheers for now.
  19. DPF isn't regenerating - 1st time light

    Thanks for the offer /dev/null - in normal circumstances I'd jump at the offer. The only thing that concerns me is driving the car that distance and a second light comes on and then "init 5" ( I really must bite the bullet and learn some Linux!) ... then I'm stuck " a bit of a trek" away :(
  20. VAG Com Warrington/ North West?

    Hi All, Does anyone have VAG Com in the Warrington / North West area with experience of checking current soot level and doing a forced DPF on an '08 Leon PD170? My DPF light has come on for the first time and I can't clear it (see my other thread). Ideally one evening ASAP? Happy to cover...
