  1. Oil change in 20 days

    1 year from actual build date of the engine maybe?
  2. Light setup options?

    you can also change it if you get vcds, i have mine set to 4, which feels more useful to me.
  3. Leon FR seats

    I find the lumbar support in an awkward place as well, and the seats okish for long drives, but anything more than 2 hours or so needs a good bit of shuffling round. Shouldn't be a problem soon though, ordered a new c-class amg this morning [B)]
  4. Service Again !!

    You can check it in the car menu, there are two intervals one oil the other service. Hopefully they've done both at the same time, but they are spaced differently (mine started out about 1k apart, its now more like 800).
  5. DTUK tuning box

    I've had mine off recently as well and can't get over how quick you get used to the extra power. The stock isn't slow, but it doesn't give you the kick up the backside it does with it on. Incidentally mine will be for sale shortly as I have to get rid of the leon for a company car - anyone...
  6. Anyone else had any of these issue's....

    As others have said, I thought my vanity lights were broken as well, and they only work when the visor is less than about 40deg or more than about 100deg off the headliner. Same thing goes with your mirror dip - it doesn't do it till you hit about 15mph or turn the engine off (maybe you know...
  7. Spare wheel

    I really don't see what your issue is, its an emergency spare, rated to 40mph. an 8% difference in circumference isn't going to be great for the handling, but its easily capable of being compensated by the suspension unless you're caning it, which you shouldn't be with the spare on. Literally...
  8. Acc heavy traffic

    If it works the same as the golf/a3 you can't set it below 30, but provided its set below 30 (and youv'e got the dsg) it'll stop & start the car in traffic.
  9. 1.2 TSi Turbo!!

    why are you expecting to hear the turbo? I can't hear the (significantly larger) one on my 2.0 TDI. as others have said it is pretty damn small by turbo standards, and it will be spun up pretty quickly down the rev range (very close to idle) so any lag will probably be disquised by the gear...
  10. Hight revs on S mode

    all that, plus turn ecotips off, they're annoying as hell.
  11. Handbrake issues

    You sure it's not just the hill start assist letting go?
  12. Leon Recall

    My september 13 FR is due something as well, the dealer being useless can't guarantee they can do it in less than an hour, but the service desk think its a media system update which primarily covers nav. Assuming I actually get it done (car is going in a month or two due to changing jobs and...
  13. Rust behind alloy on wheel hub

    Go look at any car in the next car park you pass, if its more than a year old, regardless of brand (exotic carbon braked stuff excepted), there will be rust on the disc, which is what OP is commenting on. It isn't a fault, its a known feature of the material brake discs are made out of. Having a...
  14. Front assist query

    That behaivour would be different to the golf I've tried it on, where it can't be set at less than 20, but is perfectly able to function in stop start traffic. OP, as others have said, it does work without the cruise, but you won't get the more subtle slowdown you get with adaptive cruise...
  15. Condensation

    Yep, mine was awful for about the first month, after that, fine - it may take longer on cars driven less.
  16. Exhaust actuator for 184 exhaust

    normal sounds good, sport mode would get boring fast I reckon.
  17. Fuel gauge and range (in)accuracy

    All cars will do it to an extent, depending where the sensor is mounted (it's essentially a float switch) you have to empty the whole filling hose and then a bit more before you're even level with the top of the tank. My range is generally pretty consistent, but then so is the type of...
  18. MOT DPF News

    its not really new news, and its also something that would require the exhaust apart to test for. I suspect DPF removals will just change to be knocking the middle out with a bar instead.
  19. Steel Winter Wheels & Tyres 16"

    I've driven (on a work trip to sweden) on low ish profile winters (18s over stock 19s, so probably a 60 ish profile, no idea on width). They weren't that bad, certainly infinitely better than it would have been on summers. i'd be surprised if you can'te get 17s on the cupra tbh, check out...
