    VCDS near the M1

    Hi, I brought my beloved FR with me to Europe a few years ago and got the rear fog and reverse lights switched over with VCDS so I could register it over there. Now I'm returning to Ireland with the car to sell it , and need to get them switched back, but none of the Seat service people here...

    BT/Hands Free Help

    Try calling someone and getting them to record the call on their phone. Then do the same without BT. Definite proof for the dealer and for Seat.

    Tyre pressure monitoring system

    I've had mine go off a few times when one side drives on water and not the other side. I always do a reset when I get to stop and see if it goes off again. If not, I'm happy that it was just that rotation speed difference. If it does, I have always found some source of air leak (nails...

    LED footwell light blown a fuse

    What I did was to get a Red Felt tip pen and "paint" the clear plastic cover with it. Works a treat, and no changing bulbs.

    Auto-fold mirrors on lock and reversing

    Not if you lock and hold in one press. No taking the finger off after locking.

    LED footwell light blown a fuse

    Possible that you blew the LED's and not a fuse? Also check out the discussion on this page for changes you might need in VCDS: showthread.php?t=393714&page=30

    Odd engine stutter..?

    Can anything be done to reduce these, or calibrate the engine via VCDS or a tuner box? Or are we stuck with the mismatch?

    Cracks on AC Temperature plastic surround

    Hi, has anyone else had cracks appear on the plastic surround for the AC Temperature display? FR is less than a year old, and I'm seeing them on both sides, worse on the drivers side. It looks like something hit at the corner, but there are no marks on the console or chips out of the plastic...

    MP4 video playback on 5.8 Screen

    Hi, Does anyone know if it's possible to play MP4 videos directly off an SD card onto the 5.8 touch screen? Or has anyone tried? Is there a particular resolution that works, or not at all? I have tried a few 640x480 videos, and the music plays, track info shows, but no video. Thanks, E

    Diesel Engine Emissions Cheating

    Then let me clarify: being good to the environment based on me currently driving > 100 miles per day, and therefore needing a diesel for economy. Yes, petrol is overall better for the environment, but extra cost of ~10% per litre of fuel. Working out at about ~400 more per year.

    Diesel Engine Emissions Cheating

    Exactly. I bought mine for power matched to economy matched to being good to the environment. They lied about the last part of that. Any change to the other two means it even less the car I paid for. But I will be looking for some reason to allow them near my car.

    New MK3 - Few Questions

    :(:(:( I suspected as much, to be honest, but I was ever hopeful!!! Still a great car, really pleased with it. :) There doesn't seem much point in moving this thread into the Mk2 Forum, as you've all answered my questions probably as much as possible. Thanks.

    New MK3 - Few Questions

    Hi, thanks everybody for the replies. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a Mk3. It's a 13 reg in Ireland, just a few months old. Specific model is the Leon Copa Plus. I'll leave the BT and GPS as they are, not much to be saved there. Maybe another read through the 2.2 manual will tell me...
