Been there, done that. You'd have to disassemble way too many parts. Easiest way is through the interior. Take out the A pillar trim, remember to loosen the springs so it's easier next time, use a cable guide or something similar that's absolutely not sharp. Unclog the drains, lube and refit the...

Thanks for the reply. The 220d I got is fitted on a W177 chassis. It's the 2.0 OM654. Comparing against the Leon, the A's engine is far more quieter and has less vibrations. Using your description I would call the Leon more agricultural. The 2.0Tdi diesel had indeed a somewhat "tractor-y"...

So, ended up turning in my Leon. I'm trying not to think I've made a massive mistake. But the nagging feeling is there. Doesn't help that I've only noticed on the ride home the A class has a massive rattle, apparently wind induced that shows when going over 75mph, on the front left side. When...

You've done the same as in part ways with it or keeping it as a second car and then it having problems and losing value? I'm so torn on what to do. Haven't even managed to get a decent sleep today.

Hi there seatcupra.net, I could use some input... I currently own a 2007 Leon FR Tdi, with 255000Km/158000 miles. Manual. Bought brand new. Lately hes been eating some oil. The turbocharger needs a rebuild which can be done by around 200 pounds, 120 in parts and 80 in labour. Where I'm at...

Hi! My original turbo has developed an exhaust leak through the VNT rod seal and I'm suspicious its seals are also knackered as the oil consumption has increased, I hope! I'm not keen on shelling out for a new turbo in case the oil consumption is due to valve seals or rings so I'm looking at...

Hi! My desktop is having some gfx/motherboard issues and I haven't been able to look at it yet. Haven't got access to my workshop manuals and I haven't been able to find it online. I had to replace one of my tail lights. It was taking in water. Got the proper Hella part number however the...

Hi! Quick question. I've bought not one, but two different dongles. Proper 1.4 and 1.5 versions. Either with ignition on or engine working they simply don't even turn on the red power light. Needless to say Torque or any other similar app doesn't even acknowledge the dongle exists. Funny...

Same phone, just started doing it out of the blue? Had that happen to me too and spent quite a while to discover what was going on. In the end it was an app I had installed, nothing obscure. Quite auto diagnostic related to be honest. Turns out it had some options where it kept poking the...

Unless you come with an idea on how to fish the button, you're pretty much screwed. It's nothing but simple to remove the centre console. If I were you I'd be putting my head on how to retrieve it without removing the centre console.

And check the coolant flange, somewhat normal for the seal on those to fail. Top up the coolant, turn on the engine and see if you spot any leaks.

Hi! Do you like having your water noise from behind the dash? Are you thinking about moving it to another place?

Exactly. At least I'd expect that even having the phone bluetooth made the adapter unable to work. But with ignition off, it should also be off, so I should at least get lights as I get on other cars.

Hi! I got one of those bluetooth adapters to avoid having to deal with the hassle of cables and computers every time I wanted to look at something or clear some codes. Plugged it in and nothing happened. Thought it could be defective but tried it on other cars and to my surprise it worked...

Long story short to avoid a wall of text. My car got hit. Didn't see it, don't know where or how it was done. Only noticed it while washing it. The hit was on the left corner of the front bumper. The headlight was pushed in and the left wing was pushed a little out. Other than that, just some...

I've also gotten those instructions. Problem is they would work well enough if the drains weren't already packed. The cables went down nicely until they got near the nipples. Then no matter how hard you pushed the packed goo wouldn't budge. And since the connections are made from a soft rubber...

In case someone has similar doubts I'll leave some more details on how to remove the trim and hopefully help someone else avoid cracking their trim has I ended up doing. Even with some minor cracks it still fits in place nicely though, it's just better to keep that from happening. I searched to...

I've got my sunroof drains completely clogged. They're clogged at the bottom, since I've already tried cleaning the drains from the inside and the tool goes in easily a fair amount of distance but then just stops completely. The car is taking in water and my usual stealer has no idea how to...

Hi didn't want to post earlier because I intended on reading the whole thread before doing so. I too had my injectors changed. Had a strange episode once, even created a thread about it, in which the engine seemed to be misfiring with a sound similar to knocking. The car was taken in to...

I'll be damned. Had that fault last March. Had to shell out for the repairs. I wonder, would there be any possibility I could get a discount on further future services? Any info about official documents stating this "free service"?
