I would check for air leaks before assuming the worst.

The DSG can be driven as an auto or a manual. No clutch peddle, and performs just like a normal auto when in "D", but you can drive it as an auto and change manually either on the gear stick or steering wheel paddles when you feel like it.

Well done

Yes, I hope the downpipe is OK. We have just had to change the turbo on the other car, so the timing isn't great! I did consider a custom fabricator, but would prefer to stick to an "off the shelf system" just as then we know what we are getting. The Miltek systems do look nice, so that...

Need to get it on a ramp to have a look where it is blowing from. At a quick glance underneath, the whole thing looks pretty rusty. Don't want to spend the earth, but it would be nice to get something better than a budget special.

My wife runs a 2007 Leon FR 2.0 TFSI DSG. The exhaust is just starting to blow. She has always thought it sounds a bit quiet as standard and asked me about fitting a sports exhaust. What do you guys run? Don't want anything too extreme. Thanks in advance for positive suggestions.

This is a bit worrying. Do let us know what happens

Some people really dont want a CCJ, as that stops you taking out loans etc. It is all that happens in England as well if someone doesnt pay after loosing a court case. Sale of goods act doesnt apply to private sales. That is why traders say you are safer to buy for them, i.e. you pay a bit...

Swap the front and rear tyres round and see if that makes a difference.

Each car has a maximum gross towing weight. If, on a weighbridge, the weight of your Leon, BMW and trailer exceeds that, then you are overloading. If the combination "looks sensible" then you are unlikely to ever be caught. If a policeman see you and thinks "small car towing a trailer and car...

I am interested in this, because occasionally my boot wont open. Annoyingly, whenever I try and investigate the problem, it works perfectly. Anyone else had this?

If it doesn't look like it passes the common sense test, Mr Plod will escort you to a weigh bridge. Expect at least three points for over loading.

Sounds like the temp sensor to me.

When we bought our FR I thought the wheel bearings were shot. I was going to change them, but reading on here suggested it may be the tyres. I replaced 3 of the 4 tyres (fronts due to no tread left and one rear due to sidewall being out of shape) and the noise is still there, but very much...

Which gearbox is it? If it is a DSG box you will need 5 Lts of DSG fluid, but I would Google "DSG DIY oil change" before you start.

The Osrams are a popular choice. Check the lights are clean and also check what level you have them pointing at. If you go to each of the following websites, they sell loads of bulbs, take your pick. powerbulbs.com piaa.co.uk

Thanks Lads

Not on the Leon, but on my other car, I bought some cheap standard wheels off e bay and fitted winter tyres on them at the same size as standard tyres. The advantage of this is that you dont have to tell your insurance company you are running a different tyre size (which incurs a massive...

We have a 2007 Leon FR with DSG (6 speed). Just approaching 40k miles so the box will be due its first oil change. Is it a traditional style box where you pour oil into the filler plug until it comes out, then it is full? Someone in the pub the other day was telling me that you could...
