yeah I've ordered from him before, I've messaged him now. Also tried Horton Seat so I'll see who comes up with the best price. Surprised/annoyed these don't come in the timing belt kit if they're supposed to be swapped every time.

I'm doing the cambelt on my Leon FR TFSI in a week or so. As I understand it the 6x crankshaft pulley bolts should be replaced as they are stretch bolts. I was assuming they would be readily available online but I can't seem to find them. Does anyone know where these can be bought online?

a mixture of mostly motorway & some normal a-road/b-road driving. I get high 20s to low 30s. That's a standard, yet to be remapped 2007 FR. I find it does better on superunleaded so I'm sure to always use that these days, it's no more expensive. I tend to put £40 a week in rather than a...

well I just meant I don't want to lower it a silly amount with really stiff suspension. I don't want it exactly standard but just a little bit stiffer and slightly lowered. I will look at Cupra suspension and also Eibach though, thanks for the information!

is standard cupra or cupra r suspension worth looking at? Is it any different to what comes on an fr?

So, my Leon is in need of some suspension. I figure that I might as well replace with something a little bit stiffer than standard. The car is my daily driver so I want to retain comfort and I do drive over some rubbish roads which aren't suited to a low car. So I'm after some...

I do a 40 mile round trip on the m62 every day to work so it gets a good run all the time. I'm not a believer in keeping a cars RPM low all the time, think it does more bad than good never revving about 2.5k. Just end up with carbon build up driving like that. Already has quality tyres on...

ah OK I'll ask Sere in their section on here. I looked in there and they just seemed to have pointed someone else asking to the ebay auction.

so I see there's various cam followers on ebay. Sere themselves list a genuine one for about £40. I also see there are Febi ones on there too for about £25. Are these any good? I've owned VAG cars all my driving-life and been in the VAG scene for years and generally think of Febi as being...

soft road tyres will be fine. Really any tyre that's not a cheapo chinese thing or knackered is fine. Just that the proper track tyres such as 888s and A048s make a huge difference. Given it's your first track day I'd not worry about tyres too much as long as you have some decent ones...

I bought an FR TFSI a few weeks ago. It has a full service history but I like to look after cars a bit better than that. I know the cambelt, aux belt and tensioners etc... are all good. I would like to remap the car, just to about 230-240bhp, it's my daily driver so I'm not going mad with...

Awesome GTI in Manchester, or there's Darkside Developments over t'hills in Barnsley. Darkside specialise in diesels. Neither are cheap but will do proper jobs with rolling road set up if you want it.

they'll just do it by the method the Seat factory manual tells them. They're not interested in trying to figure out quicker ways of doing things. Especially if there's a chance of damaging or breaking something by stretching behind the door card. To be fair, even Haynes manuals often tell you...

I take it this was an optional part? My 57 plate fr tfsi doesnt seem to have one. There seems to be no door at all on the bottom of the drivers seat. There is a storage compartment under the passenger seat. I just have an aux jack on the centre console. Audio quality through it seems poor but...

I've recently bought an fr tfsi too. When I first drove it I felt underwhelmed by the performance. But I think there is a lot in the way it delivers power. Its very smooth and delivers its power at a steady pace rather than in a surge at some point in the rpm range. This makes it feel slower...

Hi, just bought a Seat so thought I'd better put a post up in here now. I've been in and around the VW scene for years and still help run the Polo G40 owners club (and do still own a Polo G40 too). I've bought a mk2 Leon FR TFSI as my new daily driver, it's a bit more fun than the...
