Reading these posts regarding cam belts, I have a 1.8 2018 FR and the stealer tells me it has a chain cam drive motor. is this correct? When I booked it in for the 5th year service and asked about cambelt change they said not needed, its chain drive. The 1.8 motor is not just a bigger bore...

EBC list 2 sizes for brake discs for my 2018 FR 1.8Tsi when I enter my reg number. 312 or 288mm on the front 310 or 272mm on the rear. how do you find out what size is factory fitted to your model without taking the wheels off and measuring them?

Thanks for your response Glosphil. Yes could be. I noticed it dimmed out yesterday when I went into a covered car park. But I‘ve had the car 6 years from new and never noticed this before. Could this feature have been switched on or altered by the dealer during a Service? Just had a service and...

Seems to be intermittent. Noticed today start of journey OK then dimmed out as I drive along. the car was dealer serviced a couple of weeks ago and this has occurred since. I wonder if a software update was downloaded during the service and this has caused the problem. the setting I increased...

18 plate Leon FR 1.8Tsi The daytime instrument illumination on my Leon has dimmed out. I have adjusted the settings to 100% but it is still very dim. Brightens OK when the lights are turned on but really too dim for daytime use. Has anybody experienced this problem? Instruments all work OK. Any...

If you bought the car from a dealer of any sort less than six months ago they are responsible for a repair of this sort. It is assumed that the vault existed was there at the time of purchase. I you case it would seem that is obvious as the wheel has been welded.

this weekend I had the engine warning light come on fortunately at my destination. Car is 1.8 FR delivered April 2018 now 15k miles on the clock. Called Seat Assist as it is still in the 2 year recovery period. In fact a very helpful AA guy turned up and plugged in his computer. He showed me the...

Thanks to those who responded. I’ll try the reboot anyway and ask the stealership to carry out an update at the service.

Went out to carry out the reboot. Put the key in, ignition on, Radio on. Perhaps it carried out its own reboot.

Tried off/on National DAB stations BBC 1,2,3 & 4 . Changed band to FM and AM nothing. Working when we parked the car, returned started the car No sound.

18 plate Leon FR - no radio any tips to identify the problem. Turned off- on volume bar shows controls are increasing volume. No thing from any station any band. Still in warranty but is just some sort of reset or reboot required?

It would be interesting to know how much difference the 2 cylinder mode makes to mpg compared to 4 cylinder which presumably would be on a light throttle opening. My 1.8 FR will regularly return 44-46 mpg on a motorway run with the cruise control set at 70mph. What sort of mpg figures are the 2...

The volume of the indicator warning on my 18 plate Leon seems to be too quiet. Is there a setting buried somewhere to increase the volume of the indicators warning? You can increase , radio, phone and satnav volume so why not indicators. Help would be appreciated.

Does anybody else find it annoying that when the electric handbrake is engaged the brake lights are on. Very annoying for the following vehicles when stopped at the lights. Mechanical handbrakes don't do this so why do the electric type do? Can this be disabled so that the brake lights only...

I have a 1.8 2018 FR, does this have the Eco mode feature? I run it permanently in Sport mode, does this disable Eco mode?

Sunday morning in foggy conditions I used the hi intensity rear lights for the first time and needed them. I kept getting messages and a warning tone telling me turn them off. What triggers this? Is there a sensor? It was still very foggy? Is this a normal trait? Very annoying.

Do all 2018 1.8 FRs have the Full Link capability? Pairing with IPhones?

My 2013 1.8 FR did exactly as described and despite mentioning this to the dealers service personnel at 3 annual services it was never resolved before I traded in for a 2018 1.8. However this one has different annoying trait. When trailing along in traffic on a light throttle opening it can't...

I have a 2018 1.8 FR, does this have the ACT feature? I've never noticed any ECO indication. I will return 45-46mpg on the motorway with the cruise control set at 70mph.
