Seat 140 Sport Tdi

[Ross140tdi]

Hi Guys,

Joined here a month or so ago, posted on a thread or two then disappeared.

Ive got a Luna Grey Sport Tdi on a 06 plate. Had it for 18month and although a few niggles its a good car. My problem is my last car was a Fiesta ST with 165 mountune performance kit in it and to say the Leon lacks the zesty power of the Fiesta had is an understatement.

i was going to sell the car but decided to keep her as the 50mpg is great on my 70mile daily commute, just looking for your advice on reputable companies for power, suspension and exhaust etc.

Looking for good quality and cheap prices.

I know the obvious choice is to chip the car but i want to go down the more serious route and start upgrading parts get some real power. Trouble is most people i know are petrol heads and not soot suckers like me.

As little as makes no difference the engine I'm running is the 2.0tdi PD 'BKD'

im really happy with the amd map on my 140 and completly tranforms the performance, i would say it would easily out drag a mountune 165, basing that on the fact a standard one is left for dead.the nose heavy diesel leon though will never be a good in the bends

Hi
Not sure where you live but can highly recommend Turner Racing Development Stroud Glos contact Dan Turner
They took my 56 leon 140 TDI and it now runs 225bhp and great torque.
Full works - shocks, springs, ARB, Turbo rebuild, two rechips, millteck exhaust, Audi S3 brakes, etc, etc.
Good guys and racing background with fathers garage before his help with them setting up their own specialist.place.
Plus if you want to go the whole hog and really make the experience sweet then Seat garages are offering a deal on a great media centre that fits your car exactly and gives all options imaginable from satnav to television. Great bit of kit to round off a great car.
Cheers
