My 55 plate LCR has done 38K and this morning when I started it up I thought the exhaust was partcularly noisy and sounded it had a hole in it. Once it got warmed up, it sounded a bit more normal. Had a look underneath today and the exhaust looks fairly rusty. I'm looking to keep my LCR...

To cut to the chase, my MAF and O2 sensor were replaced last December but recently my engine light has come one and the car has felt a bit rough indicating possible MAF problem. On the readout the code was P0172 which was vague as it could be either the MAF or O2 sensor. I decided to test this...

Evening all - it's been a long while since I've posted but my 06 Leon 2.0TDI is going in tomorrow for a comprehensive (and well overdue) service. Currently sitting at 66k miles, the last service was at 53K. No longer under warranty so can use specialist not dealer - taking it to Heriothill...

Doing over 20k miles per year at the mo so car is in for service every 5/6 months which is not brilliant. Love the car but am thinking of swapping for a Golf GT with long life service option. I probably know the answer but has anyone asked the dealers if this can be done on the FR? Cheers
