    Leon FR PD170 TDi Injector problem

    Update guys and girls: Spoke to SEAT UK today and they are replacing all 4 injectors and the loom free of charge, we have the courtesy car as well until it's ready. They actually said it's a known issue, did not argue it at all and were really pleasant to deal with. All they did do was to...

    Leon FR PD170 TDi Injector problem

    Im expecting all 4 to be changed and the loom, I think everyone should be the same from now on. especially if they changing so many as a good will gesture. Like many in here I dont myself or the girlfriend driving the car and it dyeing on her in a dangerous situation.

    Cooling fan on constant - Leon FR

    Sorry for not updating, been busy at work and away for the weekend as well. The smaller fan was replaced as it was diagnosed as faulty. However after it was changed the problem was still there. So the larger fan was replaced as it houses the electrics for the smaller one and the problem was...

    Cooling fan on constant - Leon FR

    Thanks all for the replies. As Bedlam has said above there is next to no space, in fact I am suprised by the little space there is on this engine in the bay. I took a trip to the dealer today, who know what the problem is, are getting the parts for this afternoon and are fixing it at 2pm and...

    Cooling fan on constant - Leon FR

    had a look around and can not see the fan switch anywhere. Any idea what side top or bottom? Looked in the owners hand book and tells you every thing other cooling fans. Tried all fuses in the engine bay (next to battery) and nothing, tried some under the steering wheel that i can access easy...

    Cooling fan on constant - Leon FR

    Somthing is up with the cooling van on my Leon FR tdi. I am guessing the sensor is knackered and thinks the car is still hot as the fans are on constant. Obviously this will drain the battery pretty quickly. Could you tell me where the fuse is for the fans, location and number? Or if the...

    Any1 put 20s on the new leon yet??

    if you get the wheel and tyre fitment correct there is no reason whay you can not lower it the same as acar on 18's or 19's. Fitting 30 profile tyres will keep your rolling radius the same as fitting 18's and 19's :)

    Rusty Wheel Hubs

    I have this issue as well, but I will just sort it myself. I like the black above looks great ;) for those of you that have only used shampoo and no wheel cleaner, I would say the damage was done before you got the car. Every car will be cleaned before it is given to you, dealers will use the...

    Pictures of your lowered Leons please

    coilovers are great for getting the correct stance, but the ride quality will suffer IE it will be harder than a separate shock and spring set up. Just springs - not sure if its the same on the leons but on the astras doing a drop of around 30-40mm on standard shocks is fine, it will give...

    Leon FR TDI sold after two months

    Sorry to hear you have given the car back and the other people complaining about their leons. I feel the need to stick up for the humble leon in this thread though! The Leon is billed as the sporty arm of the VAG group, so buying an FR or cupra you are buying a sport model. Its not meant...

    What did you drive before you joined the LEON stable?

    mines an odd one. As the car a is joint car (I say joint its Sarahs until she wants to have a drink, then its mine ;) )but wasnt before we had it. I got rid of my mk2 golf, sarah got rid of her mk4 golf and we got the Leon :) However I still have my stupidly modified astra to play with! :)

    Pictures of your lowered Leons please

    agreed it looks a nice drop - and certainly useable. :) I take it its on standard shocks? Was there a marked improvment in handling? Is the ride crashy or about the same?
