I've part-exchanged my Seat a couple of weeks ago and I thought it would be a good idea to leave my final (and very honest feedback) on my old Seat Leon Fr Mk3 TDI 150. I had the car for 4 1/2 years during which time I did approximatively 50k miles. I purchased it back in 2014 when it was one...

Been driving to work this morning listening to the radio when the whole unit turned off by itself. I couldn't stop the car immediately and by the time I got to somewhere I could stop the unit started tomto work again. It was off for about 20 seconds. Very strange...

Hi there Does anyone know whether it's possible to lower the front seats even more than the standard lowest point? Even though I'm not very tall (6'0") and I find the seats on my FR being comfy, I'd like to seat lower, yes, to get the racing car feeling even more. One solution would be to buy...

Hi there, It looks like one of the front parking sensors became ultrasensitive after, I believe, it was hit by a stone as some paint came off. It's really annoying as it now starts to beep even if I am three metres behind somebody. Is there anything I can do other than taking it to the dealer...

i agree, they were company cars and not looked after but absolutely all of them included charges for refurbishing the alloys, repair the stone chips and things of this kind that happen during the course of normal driving. Is it worth paying extra for maintenance? Anyone got this?

So there is hidden cost so to say, which you don't really know how much it will be? All cars returned at the end of a business lease I came across had a final invoice for repairs, etc. Sometimes worth few thousands quid.

I called the Seat dealer in Milton Keynes to make a booking as I had an issue (which I managed to resolve myself in meantime) and I was told the is a one month long waiting time. Wow! Did I buy a [:@] car?

What about the costs at the end of the lease?

Hi there, Anyone used them before? If yes, can you give me some feedback please? Thanks. They are VAG specialists and their servicing costs is cheaper than what a Seat dealer woud charge.

The Check Coolant red light came on this Monday morning less than 10 seconds after I started the engine. Exactly the same thing happened last Monday. I checked the coolant, it is clear and its level with the engine cold is in the middle between Max and Min. In both occasions the light came off...

Got that too. And the reflection. If I stand in the front of the car they look OK but if I lower myself so that my eyes are at the same level with the lights, I can see the brighter ones easily. Tried in on the walls and the drivers side's top edge is a tiny bit higher. What I don't...

How do I find out when the first MOT is due? Is it exactly three years after the date of first registration? Cheers.

Villers, how do you reset the levelling system?

I have to confess that mine doesn't rattle. It had its fair share of issues but not any more. I stopped worrying when I read here that even a £200k Aston Martin rattles. And I would never let a bloody car take over my life. I think rattles and the result of many factors but mainly the quality...

OK. Thanks. Will give it a try.

Can I try this on my car if I have auto level (or whatever is called)? Will the auto level not undo my manual adjustment?

As somebody said on this forum... all cars rattle. I plan to sell it and get a Toyota GT86. Google's full of "GT86 rattles" :D

Overall it is an OK car. I suspect the suspensions are more rigid on the FR. This is something you may wish to consider.

I too had (still have) the issue. I had both front lights changed by the dealer but to be honest I still can't see any difference. There are two issues... 1) The top corner LED (just one, not the whole unit) on the drivers side unit is way brighter than the all the others. I can see this in the...

I am not a great fan of it. I tend to switch if off if I am in a traffic queue and I know I will only stop of 10 - 15 seconds.
