I’m having issues with an aftermarket stereo. I put a pioneer single din in, used a wiring harness and switched the red and yellow around so it remembers the stations. First 3 weeks was fine but I’ve since started with intermittent power issues. Sometimes it will power on with the car...

So after a brief time away from SEAT’s, I find myself back owning a CR170 FR. Some of you may remember/recognise me from previous. I have been around for a number of years now having owned a 1.2TSi Mk2, CR170 FR+ and mk3 Leon cupra 290...

This may have been covered before, however, I would like a side picture of the car and tell me what you have fitted. I currently have vwr springs, they're comfortable and work well with DCC, but they sit lower at the back of the car than they do the front.

Has anyone managed to get locking beeps working on a 290? (Or 2016 I assume???). I've tried everything and followed all the guides out there but it's not happening and I can't find the option on the stereo. Car -> Settings -> opening and closing. Please help, it's the only thing I actually...

Placed my order for a new Leon SC Cupra 290 Black manual in Nevada White with SEAT Sound! Build week 39 so hopefully not too long after that and I'll be driving about in it! I'm not new to the Leon (as you may be able to tell from my post count) having previously owned a mk2 1.2TSi S and then...

Really simple. Has anyone removed the Backbox on a CR170 (not PD, not interested in them...)? If so, can you post a video? Or know of any videos containing a cr170 with Backbox removal with DPF in place. I realise the DPF still acts as a sort of silencer too so that's why I want a video of a...

There seems to be quite a few members based in the actual north east, Teesside/Newcastle area, I'm sure we could find a mutual location to hold a meet! If we could start a list for who would be interested, potential locations and dates/how much notice you require then that would be good! 1 -...

Finally decided I should start a readers ride for my car! I used to have a 1.2TSi Leon, however due to the mileage I do, plus wanting more power, decided it would be a good idea to change to a 2.0TDi. Back in May last year I changed it to a 2011/61 plate white Leon FR. I love the car to...

Does anyone have experience with upgraded D1S bulbs? I'm looking for 6000k ideally. I bought some cheap ones from HIDS Direct for £30, but the light output is abysmal. Looking around there's quite a few options but the prices are quite high! I'm currently looking at MTEC 6000K D1S bulbs, a...

Spent a while searching and can't find a firm answer as to how far people have lowered, without causing any issues. I'm getting coilovers and don't want to go too low that its going to scrape the speed bumps or kerbs etc. If no one has a definitive answer then I'll go and measure it myself! :)...

First off - I love the car! Secondly, I'm not impressed with the service department of SG Petch Durham SEAT. They had two weeks from when the sale was agreed to collection of the vehicle to sort the problems. They seemed to had disappeared yesterday, but today they are back and worse than...

Has anyone had any issues with a Dual mass Flywheel on the CR170 engines? The car we've put a deposit down on seems to have a rattle coming from the N/S when in neutral, idle and clutch up. Depress the clutch and this rattle disappears. It sort of sounds like the engine note changes slightly...

I've done a search and seen that this has been covered before, however I would like an updated opinion from people as the CR has now been out a while longer Basically, which would you buy now? A PD170, or splash that bit of extra cash and get a CR170? And WHY? Everyone knows about the...

Right, I've got my winter wheels on now so I decided to plasti dip one of my 17s to see what it looked like, here was the result: It looks quite good, IMO, and so I put it in front of the car to get some idea of what it would look like: I think it looks quite good, other views are...

I've used the search and what I seem to find is a brown 7.5amp fuse inside the car. My car doesn't have any 7.5amp fuses at all... If someone could find out what number fuse it is and let me know, I don't have a multimeter to go around and test them all with! All I have is 5 amp and 10 amp...

Having seen how good the BTCC splitter is from kev at triple R composites i messaged him about one for the standard bumper for a facelift leon. He said there wasn't one in development but could be if enough were interested. Is there anyone on here interested in one for the standard bumper (i...

I've finally decided to start a Readers' Ride! My car doesn't have any performance related mods, as of yet, mainly die to my age and insurance being a problem! So for now, all cosmetic modifications. So, at 17 i passed my test and drove a 1.2 clio dynamique tomtom, a fully loaded car with...

Hey guys, I went through a car wash earlier and when i got home i saw a tonne of condensation! I've ran my lights and had a hair dryer on it too, that got rid of it but then 5 mins later its starting to come back again, from the indicator end of the headlight. Now i checked the covers on the...

Torn between what to do. I have a JVC kw-av60bt which i love! Also disabled my tweeters and then replaced all 4 stock speakers with VIBE Slicks that i bought from halfords (also love them). My sound system is pretty good now but just feeling its maybe missing the very low end bass! (I'm 18...

Does anyone know of any resistor leads for sidelights, that work in a FL leon. Just been to halfords and purchased theirs. They work fine but don't clip in so the sidelight is free to move wherever it wishes, no use!
