  1. FR Useless reversing light

    even if they did you'll only be in reverse for a few seconds..... unless you drive backwards :)
  2. Slight condensation in headlights

    Does anyone know if that actually works? I've got some in my garage, think I'll give it a try and see...
  3. Confused on which tyre to purchase!

    Goodyear Eagle F1 AS2 Just ordered for my FR. Event tyres 176 fitted at home. Had them on 2 heavy diesel civics and they were a really good tyre. Quiet, great grip in the wet and got over 20k miles each time. btw replacing stock Bridgestone Turanza at 29000 miles on the front. pity they're...
  4. Remap recommendations

    Just looked on the Audi forum and Elite are not rated very highly there. Had a look at Shark - there's a dealer not far from me that's on their list so will give them a call. Thanks for chipping in...:)
  5. Remap recommendations

    So... from your experience who would you recommend? I've seen people post about Revo, APR and Celtic tuning which seem to be the most reputable ones. In fact I've just googled them and found this: http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=358984 Have seen some poor reviews for...

    Anyone any experience with elite remaps? they say they can take a FR150 to 195bhp and 317 torques according to their website www.eliteremaps.com
  8. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3's

    I'll be putting these on mine in the next couple of months. I had the assy 2's on my last car which was a Civic 2.2 Diesel (so front end heavy) and still got over 20K miles out of them. Good grip in wet and dry and fairly quiet. I would expect the assy 3's to be better again.
  9. First waranty service

    I have a 150 TDi on the long life service plan. My first service was end of last year. They charged £229 and all they changed was oil, oil filter and pollen filter. Took them about an hour. SEAT didn't say anything about Aircon, but my last car was a Honda and they used to clean the...
  10. Tyres - recommendations / ones to avoid, FR184

    another +1 for the Goodyear F1 AS2. Really good tyre used to get 20K + miles on my old 2.2 Civic. Will be putting them on my Leon once the bridgies have worn out.
  11. Not a happy bunny

    Similar thing happened to me 5 years ago. Car reversed into me when I was stationary and damaged the rear n/s wheel arch. Claimed off their insurance as completely no fault of my own. My insurance premiums were £50-£60 more per year for the last 5 years as you have to state on the quote...
  12. Advice on clutch issue

    I've got the same pedals on mine. Got them from here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231284389616?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D231284389616%26_rdc%3D1 Cost about £15 and took about 2 weeks to deliver. May not be oem but they look and feel the...
  13. Mr

    I've had one fitted to my car FR150 for the past year or so. There are a few threads on the subject, this being one of them: http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=392680&highlight=dtuk which highlights peoples experiences. Some people have said they suffer with judder, others I...
  14. Customer service bad to worse

    Mine cost me £229 as well for first variable service. All they change is oil, oil filter and pollen filter. Takes about an hour. Proper rip off.
  15. VW TDi Emissions software scandal

    Ahhh... but we all use different tyres! :cry:
  16. VW TDi Emissions software scandal

    How is it possible to work out if a car is depreciating faster than you thought it would? When you buy a car it's probably going to be worth between 40 - 50% of it's original value after 3 years. That's assuming the car has done average miles and is in pretty good condition - and even then it...

  19. VW TDi Emissions software scandal

    I was just wondering exactly the same. There is a class action against VW being prepared by a US firm of lawyers on behalf of TDi owners, maybe the same will happen in Europe.
  20. ST 184 v ST 280 v Golf R

    My bad... missed the lease bit. In that case, if the costs are similar and running costs don't come into it Golf R all the way IMO.
