    Bi-xenon not working on one side

    Apologies to those on Facebook for the shameless multi-forum post.... Problemo: 2 days ago one of our bi-xenons stopped working. Ordered some new D1S bulbs and replaced. Still no light. F-ing great. Auto-leveling motors work, DRLs work, sidelights work, indicators etc etc. So everything in...

    Boost gauge readings

    What are normal boost gauge reading all around? Not sure whether my gauge works well or not. Idle vacuum seems to fluctuate buy never drops below 11, which seems low. But I do hit peaks of 16/17 when under max load so that makes sense. What should I be expecting from the LCR?

    Audio improvements advice needed

    Right peeps. We're sick of the absolutely p1ss poor excuse for a sound system that SEAT provides us folk. Who had done some audio mods and what is the general advice? We have no intention to blow away the neighbours, but do want more clarity. Can't hear sh1t of the music unless the stereo is...

    Service time. What parts are best?

    First proper service for the Leon since I've owned it. I'm guessing it'll get the full works this time. My engine-related warranty is as good as null and void anyway with the deDPF and remap, so... 1) going for Fuchs/Silkolene Titan Pro S oil. Set on that 2) should I get a panel filter? While...

    Developments on CR140/170 engine mods?

    Anybody in the know about whether there are any new mods coming up for the trusty CRs? I'm about ready to go hybrid or bigger turbo but from what I understand there are still many blockers on this. Almost worth sticking with an older PD if you want more power

    Funny smell after redlining :(

    I had put my DSG in manual this morning, but forgot I did. Had the music on loud too. Pulled away from the crossing and realised I was redlining the shyt out of the car! Thought I was in D mode.... :cry: Once parked, 30 seconds later there's a funny freshly tarmacked road kind of smell...

    CR170 46mpg?

    I've just done a 12 mile trip, driving like a ganny at 70mph max and no hard acceleration at all. In fact, very rarely over 2k rpm. Got 46mpg....

    white paint yellowing

    My resprayed door (following some ding-dong end ramming into it and running) is now showing very obvious spots of yellowing. Is it f00ked or is there something I can do? G3 paint restore did nothing, claybar did nothing, and harsh chemicals did nothing (alloy cleaner, engine cleaner) If...

    Soot-proof wax?

    I'm sure I'm not the only sooty that's suffering with a permanently black tailgate. This is fine. Part of the deal when you de-DPF. However, I have yet to find a wax that's up to the challenge of soot landing on it. Everything else I've been able to just wipe off with a microfibre. But the...

    Mapped tdi and DSG

    ...is becoming more and more of a crap combination I was always a fan of "manual" mode, but now it's becoming more of a necessity than an option. Surely it shouldn't be doing 30mph in 5th. 80% of the time in town driving, the car is running at just over 1000rpm in some stupid gear...

    CR170 MAP sensor limitations at stage2

    Just had the car logged at Sedox to see why I'm seeing massive flat spots and jumps in power. At certain revs, when pushing it, the car just goes flat. Then all of a sudden goes back on the power, then drops, etc. Turns out the CR170 MAP is limited to 2601 millibar. Put a 4 bar map in you'd...

    Boost gauge wiring

    Who can help me here. I've spent countless hours Googling this now, to no avail. Cable from gauge to car has 5 wires, instructions say 4.... What's the 5th (brown/orange) for??? AND any clues how I could wore this into the Leon around the light control wiring?

    De-tune?

    Total sh1t-stir topic but... Ever heard of anybody tuning DOWN a stock car? Lets say for big fuel savings or something. Let's say you buy a petrol FR, but for a few months you really need to cut down on petrol because you're late on rent or whatever stupid reason.... Could you de-tune to get...

    Oil seems a bit black...

    CR170 got serviced February and definitely had oil change. Just checked the oil and levels are grand, different world to my old TFSI that ran on oil it seemed.... But, it's jet-black. Isn't that a bit soon? It's not due it's next service for almost a year. I would expect it a bit more...

    Jet fuel is the way forward

    I don't mean jet fuel, but JET fuel. From Jet. I can now with some certainty say, by way of a good few fuel-ups and three "performance" cars that Jet fuel makes the car run smoother, longer and harder than fuel from Shell (excluding VPower), BP, Total or any other big brand. BP diesel in...

    Number-whoring for Stg2 CR170 xx to xx times

    I didn't want to go down this route but curiosity has got the better of me... What 0-60, 60-80, 30-70 etc times would you reckon I should expect now with the stage2 map on? Stock should be 0-60 in 8.2 I believe, and 60-80 about 5 or 6?
