Hey. I don't own the car any more... But. I did get the turbo changed for a new one. That included new send/return oil pipes (are they pipes?? Lol) and a full service at the same time. Completely fixed the problem and all associated issues. Car ran like a dream from that moment onwards including...

can't really argue can i? Looking forward to getting them on now. The guy did say the Kumho's are very good and that I should consider Falkens too, but everywhere i've looked, in the industry and personal opinions, no-one faults the Goodyears

fantastic, thanks for all the replies guys. I thought I was gonna get hurled abuse for raising yet another tyre query. Right, well... I sat and thought about it for a long time and decided I need peace of mind when it comes to tyres. No use cutting corners (excuse the pun) if it can be...

see, this is the feedback i'm getting everywhere i look. one person thinks they're great, the next doesnt like them. tough decision.

ok, interesting feedback. what would you suggest as an alternative? pilot sports are out of my price range now. goodyears would be a huge stretch, dunlop maxx rt would be a stretch...

Ok, great - how's the wear / grip / ride ? £105 is mobile fitting - they're charging £10 a tyre to come out, so I can get them down to about what you paid.

Hi, Firstly, apologies - I know there are a number of tyre threads already on here and yes, I've read through them in full. My query is slightly different and please, if you could, give me some advice based on your personal experience / industry experience. Much appreciated. So, I have a...

I don't have cruise control on mine. One thing I regret not getting, but actually in a diesel I find it a lot easier to just maintain a steady speed. As for the 3 miles in the diesel...yes you won't get good mpg...the cars not even earned up and lets hope you don't have a DPF...otherwise start...

SOLVED: Turns out its my right foot. Drove to work in a hurry this morning...got 40mpg. Drove home smoothly and steadily, not going above 80 and 51.4mpg average.

It looks like the new Astra to me.:shrug:

The clip was recently renewed to the intercooler. Not the o rings. Ill stick it out a week and see, already done about 350 miles since fitted on friday

Ahhhh I get you. Is it true that if I leave the battery disconnected for 30mins or so it will reset those learned settings and return to default?

Ah ok. For the record though, it was serviced 7000miles ago so not overdue but I guess it has effectively just had major surgery!

Yup. Agreed, hence I want to try and do something about it. Sometimes I get about 44mpg poodling behind some learner driver but otherwise it's been dropping low. Hence I'm wondering if my maf died a bit or something, just after the forums thoughts

You reckon a loss of 10mpg from tyre pressure? I'll check but they look ok.

Hi, I just solved a bunch of previous issues with my 56 plate Leon Reference Sport (PD 140) TDI by replacing the turbo with a brand new one, new fuel filter and oil change. Anyway, the car's running very nice, as i'd expect it to, so quite happy there. My remaining issue is the fuel...

Right, bit of feedback from me. I had my turbo changed for a brand new Garret one last week, and a new fuel filter and oil filter and oil. Stuttering gone.

I was getting a bit of stuttering. Nothing as bad as that though. Changed the turbo and fuel filter and its gone. (I changed the turbo due to sticking vanes too).

I had the opposite fault. Mine wouldn't come on when the doors opened etc. SEAT told me it was the switches in the door which was totally wrong. I changed the whole light unit which includes the switch. Turned out to be a faulty switch itself which is built into the unit. Works perfectly now...

MOT failure for a start... Then 3 points per tyre...I wouldn't bother personally
