Hi, my Leon has just gone over the 34k mile mark and I used it to drive to work this morning, it has had minor issues in the past (relating to starting issues) but today when I accelerate over 2800rpm from 2nd gear onwards I get an almighty juddering situationIt is that bad that my seatbelt...

Seat Leon FR TSI EVO 1.5 petrol Hi, I read in my handbook that the car should be ran on the highest grade petrol fuel and I’ve noticed recently after topping the tank with Tesco’s momentum fuel 99 octane I’m getting at least 5 more mpg but I’m told by other people that this should only be used...

Has anyone been using the v power diesel in their Leon and noticed a difference? Used to use supermarket diesel with a shot of redex diesel in every tank, have changed to shell standard diesel with a shot of Millers ecomax diesel additive - which has definitely helped. MPG is about +5 more than...

just taken delivery of a new registration cupra 290 hatch, a question about the fuel type? It says recommend fuel is 98Ron but 95 Ron minimum? Does anyone run there’s only on 95RON and does it damage of affect the running of the cupra??

Over the past few days I’ve noticed a drop in mpg on my 2.0 TDI (150ps) Leon, by about 10-15 mpg at some points. Motorway driving has gone from about 65/68 mpg to about 55/60 and town driving has gone from about 55 to 45 and as low as 30 at some points. The engine feels absolutely fine, still...

Hi Guys, I am currently ordering bits to service my Leon 5f 1.6tdi, but I stumbled on something here with the Fuel Filters... It seems they come in 2 different sizes? The outer diameters seem to be quite different, one being 77mm and the other 93mm and my question is, can I check which filter I...

Hi I’m trying to diagnose a sorta problem with my Leon if fuel has been sat for a day or 2+ she’s still quick but really lacks enthusiasm put some fuel in weather that me 5 quid or 80 quid it’s a night and day difference, Obviously theres always a little difference in power with fresh fuel but...

Hi all, Had my ibiza cupra for about a month now. So i think my average MPG has settled and its currently 30.1Mpg. What figures are you guys getting? I do drive it hard now and again but i wouldnt think it was enough to warrant that MPG, also i put £40 of super unleaded in and had 250 miles for...

Hi guys I've got archoil fuel additive that i want to use, but when i try to put the nozzle into the fuel tank, the black plastic flap will not open. I've even tried a funnel with a different sized nozzle, but still no joy. However i never have a problem with the flap when filling up with...

Just want to know if anyone changed fuel filter on ibiza fr 15 plate. Whats the procedure & what mileage did u change it at. Mines bit sluggish and been told to replace it at 20k. which fuse needs to be pulled out? thanks

I'm having some issues with my 1.9tdi 2010 Leon. It has started cutting out when the throttle is shut and the car slowing down. It won't re start until the fuel system is bled (removing return pipe from HP pump to filter) or as the RAC guy did, spraying easy start into the inlet. I've replaced...

Hi folks, yesterday, for the first time ever since ive had my FR TDI (18 months, 21k miles with me, 5k when bought) the engine idle was up near 1000rpm and it really sounded rough! There were no warning lights, however im sure this is a regeneration of the DPF taking place. Ive had a...

I'm just about to service my Cupra Tdi, and wonder is there anything specific to take note of when chaning the fuel filter on a Tdi? e.g I'm assuming you can get air in the system? cars done 48k and not had one replaced as far as I can tell. thanks Gemma

Hi everyone! I'm in search for a aluminium fuel door cover. Because it's for a bodykit, the size is not much variable. And is has to be a 'door' too, not a screw off kinda fuel cap.. Here's an example of the kind of door i'm looking for, and it has to be 12cm or 4,75" outer diameter...

The garage who are looking at my car have said the diesel in my filter is yellow instead of blue. anyone know why this might be?

Evening guys, First post,.. sad that it has to be for a continuing problem im having. Purchased a 55 plate Seat Leon FR 150bhp just over a month ago from a car supermarket in Hull. The car made it 3 hours down from Hull back to London when it went into limp mode with fuel pump relay and...

Hi, When I had my Cupra TDi I'd put in Millers EcoMax additives with cheap diesel to get a lot better running car. It's popular with the diesel crowd. I've noticed it the Petrol equivelant doesn't seem half as popular, does anyone use it? Any difference? Then I got onto reading about...

I have a MK5 Ibiza 1.4 SC and it appears my fuel guage has gone faulty, wondering if anyone else has seen something similar? Basically I went away for the weekend to Wells (Somerset) from home (Reading) and thought it a bit odd that the digital fuel reading had only dropped one bar when i got...

Hi can anyone recommend a good fuel injector/system cleaner product, for my mk2 leon fr tfsi with a ko4 conversion etc also what brand coolant do you use ? Cheers Reesy

Just wondered what other people's experience of fuel consumption on a Mk2 Leon Cupra was. Seat say 34.9mpg combined or there abouts but I've been getting closer to 23mpg. I do have a heavy foot though! Does this seem about right?
