    Its going back to the dealer!

    Think you are missing the point, it was NOT rejected on a hard ride. It was rejected on numerous rattles, loose trim, faulty i-pod dock to name a few. The ride never came into question. Any dealer worth there salt would not have accpected a car back on ride alone. Especially as you say i tested...

    Its going back to the dealer!

    How do you come to that conclusion. I sold the S3 to get the Leon and put nearly £10k back in to my bank account. The Leon was much better in other ways than the S3 mainly fuel consumption and looks but cleary not in the build department.

    Its going back to the dealer!

    Not rejecting it on harsh ride, its rejected on the rattles and the falling trim (around the sunroof) I only said it is a "firm ride" I'm not complaining of that, just that there are better handling "sports" derived hot hatches with a more compliant ride.

    Its going back to the dealer!

    Had an S3 (new shape) previously and that was a lot better ride, much more compliant and i would think it shares suspension with the Cupra, ie lighter alloy components etc!

    FR TDI acceleration after 1st Gear?

    My mate has the TFSI FR (the yellow one) and mine the Candy Diesel bar the off line as you mention there is very little difference in it. We had a play back from MK on some back roads to get home and it was pretty much even all the way. Sorry for poor quality but camera phone and getting...

    No Warning for Low Washer Fluid

    That noise drives you mad as well, not only do you get "please fasten your seatbel" the flashing red symbol and the loud bleep when you do actually drive off. However should you not be able to see because you have ran out of water i'd be glad at least i had my seatbelt on! :whistle:

    No Warning for Low Washer Fluid

    Do have the winter pack on mine! But was driving a loan car from the dealer Black FR for the week as they are trying to sort the annoying rattles out. Told them i don't want it back if it still rattles which worried them somewhat.

    side skirts + Spoiler colour

    mine are a perfect match. I suppose its down to the quality of the bodyshop they use.

    Does the Leon come with the blind spot mirrors?

    isnt the glass curved these days rather than a physical line down it?

    Leon FR 170 Tdi Servicing

    Really annoying the 10K fixed, on an old A3 170 you could do about 20k for visiting the stealers. And as Seat stealers are so crap id rather stay away as long as possible. Same engines so why a fix of 10k?

    No Warning for Low Washer Fluid

    On the worst day I'm on the roads, wet snow and salt spray the washer bottle runs out. No warning light or symbol as found on Audis. The MFD "was" a really useful bit of kit to this happened. And guess what, the first service you pull into and the water hose doesn't work :( Dont tell me...

    How Many Rattles
