Many thanks for that!!! I'll have a poke about tomorrow!

I had a Leon but it died a death eventually. :( I now have the Exeo. A very different car but very nice all the same!!! Here is a photo of what I had, I sold it on eBay but can't find the listing now...

Indeed! But they do not affect when they come on when you lock or unlock the car by remote... The UI on the original stereo also controlled whether the indicators flashed and the horn beeped when the remote was used, and so on.

Hi Caldi, The settings have not changed, but... I set things like the lights to come on when I unlock it to help with the evenings arriving so early and stay on when I get out and lock it again. They stay on for about 30secs to a minute so I have light to get to my front door. It helps with...

Hi Folks, I replaced my OEM stereo for an A-Sure Android 8 jobbie... Does anyone know how to make that configure the car? The old unit was the UI to change things like the lights coming on when you unlocked the car by remote so you could see the puddle you parked over and whether there was a...

Hi Folks, My mk2 Leon FR, 07 plate has it's warning lights showing which refers to the dpf needing a clean and the sensors either cleaning or replacing. I am considering the easiest option of replacing the exhaust manifold, dpf and sensors all in one hit. The only problem is that I...

Wow! What a difference that makes! The old one, with a really wide hole was not exactly dirty so quite happy!!! Many thanks for the help!!! Why is the gasket used to make the hole so small when it could be machined into the part?!?

Awesome! You're a star!!! Many thanks!

Can anyone point me to one of these please? I can't find this gasket anywhere in the UK... Part number: 028131547B Leon TDI FR mk2 07 plate, if that makes any difference... Many thanks in advance, Nathan.

Awesome! It looks like I can even remap with the vagcom, is that right/easy to do?

I heard that the Gov were going to clamp down on DPFs being removed? Not sure I want to play with her swirly flaps, I might get slapped?! She's a lot harder than I am! I just found a vagcom so I'll invest next week when PayPal catches up with my bank account switch! Many thanks for that info!!!

Diesel, 1968cc, TDI, 168 (170) BHP.

Hi, Thanks for that, I can't find any spare oil so to speak, lol. I don't have a boost gauge and my nearest vag place is almost 80 mile round trip. There aren't any whistles, pops or anything else, but I can check for soft pipes tomorrow, my mechanic friend is borrowing it today so he might...

Hi Folks, My 07 Leon FR drives fine but the top speed has dropped by about 40mph, is there a way to tweek the turbo manually rather than by mapping or is there something else I should be checking first? :confused:

Didn't think of it like that, my point was that having known it was able to go fast, why does it not go fast now? It's serviced regularly with good quality oil and filters, though I don't use the better diesel, just the cheap stuff, but that should not bother it to such an extent, surely? I...

That's somewhat irrelevant now, and hopefully will not happen again. In the meantime, where has my 40mph gone?

I have a basic scanner which tells me if there are any issues, and there's nothing. Would the VCDS give anything more?

I take it to a local airfield to play every now and then and if I get another emergency I'll want that and more. On the original emergency I over took plod when they were doing only 130mph, they put their foot down a bit after that, thankfully!

Hi Folks, I have a power loss issue, sort of... The car drives perfectly fine, but the top end is only about 100-115mph, I squeezed 120mph down hill a few weeks ago. I had an emergency a few months back, the kind that involved the police escorting me nearly 200 miles due to a medic emergency...

I'd suggest trying the tests again and turn the A/C off. You never know, but you often hear that the A/C can take a large amount of power out of the engine...
