Thanks Weasley, is the application of the DSG good as I think I read a review that the 1.4si Seat Ateca with DSG was a bit jerky from moving off from a stop? I have to say the 1.4TSi has plenty of torque too but I would still be interested to hear from anyone with a comment on the Diesel...

I currently have a 1.4tsi 140bhp. A great engine I have to say but I am looking to replace the car with a 2017 diesel Leon 2.0 as I want DSG and like diesel torque, the 1.4Tsi is not or was not available with DSG. My driving is mixed and sometimes I may not do a longish journey for maybe 200...

New tyres have a larger circumference i.e tyres get smaller as they wear down so this can make percentage differences in the readout of your cars m.p.g calculation. Older tyres will register a given distance as longer because of more rotations of the wheel to cover the distance. Maybe a bit of a...

Never had any problem with rattles in my 1.4 SC untill I changed from Bridgestone to Dunlops. The Dunlops are better in every department except for giving a firmer slightly grainier ride, mine is the standard SE version but it is fairly quick. I would never go for a car with lower profile tyres...

So your warranty claim for the LED rearlight was fixed in the 3rd service I guess as part of the standard 3 year warranty? Do you think it would have been covered under your 4th year warranty? Apology if I have misunderstood. Thanks

My wifes Leon 1.4TSI is now 3 years old, she is contemplating buying a Seat 4th Year Warranty, the car has done 22000 miles and will only do another 7 or 8 thousand miles throughout the year. I would be grateful for opinions on whether the warranty which costs around £200 is worth having given...

Keep us updated. GL.

I prefer my very old TomTom. The Seat SatNav is too lengthy with its words e.g to to make it sound polite. I thought I read somewhere that you can change the verbal instructions to a more concise version but maybe that was with a previous car as I cant find it in the menu now. Anyone else think...

But you gotta be driving it like a Cupra anyway to get that m.p.g havent you?

Black mirrors would be nice colour coded to the cars colour?

Re Facelift Leon. Has the facelift Leon been modified to deal with the creaking/rattling door-panels which many owners of the pre-facelift models resorted to sort out themselves? Plus, any comments on other teething problems from previous build beeen sorted, e.g weak reverse light?

Ashworth Can you let us/me know if you test drive the Golf 1.4 as I have been looking at these too. Thing is, with a decent spec they cost far more than a similarly specced Leon. The upside is probably less depreciation despite the more boring looks, I would also be interested to know how the...

All SC's, 3 Door?

I have the 1.4 SC Se, i.e standard suspension. The performance really is better than I ever imagined for a 1.4 having come from larger sporty diesels, the turbo gives it a similar feel in terms of torque curve as a good diesel and with very little turbo lag. My suspension is not lowered as with...

Leon 1.4tsi, mpg Mine is the 140bhp version i.e no ACT. I used to get over 46mpg mixed driving but this has improved to 50mpg, and if I try hard but without holding up traffic, on a long run I can easily get above 50mpg now with 19000 miles. In traffic I would hope to get 40m.p.g however I...

Interesting replies above, an important point to consider is however:- does the VW Golf have noticeably better trim in places where the Seat is slightly let down, e.g door trim material is easily marked, especially the woven material at the top of the door, also the seats, though very...

Right, Ive had a Leon 1.4TSi for nearly 2 years now. I am very pleased with the engine which gives me the best combo of performance, smoothness and economy, however, I now want an automatic and Seat dont appear to do the 1.4 with a DSG? Has anyone had the Golf 1.4DSG and if so what are...

I get a very slight hesitation on 'pickup' and put it down to turbo lag.

Tyres and Rattles I had Bridgestones and was pleased that my car had no rattles. Changed to Dunlops and the rattles came with the slightly firmer ride, I should have stuck with the Bridgestones or had Michelins?

Well I was sure I saw the option between simple and complex instructions but I cannot find it now despite trying all the menus. I'm beginning to think I've imagined it? If anyone knows whether this option exists I would be very grateful.
