  • Which rims fit my Leon?

    Hello forum, bought a Leon St last weekend, in black. He stood there on summer bikes. I negotiated that I get new winter tires on the Alus(Winterfest) and the summer rubbers in the trunk are included( Sind Michelin sport, 2 of 2019 with very good profile, 2 of 2017 with almost 6mm profile) Now I need aluminium rims for the summer and the offer kills me. What I don’t want to know, completely black rims. We don’t see any difference to cheap wheel caps or steel rims from a distance. I don’t know what size. 17 or 18 inches. I get a few suggestions here. What are you driving on your black Leons like? Would be very grateful for your advice. Here is a picture of my future and of rims that I like fast.

  • Consumption of summer tyres

    Hello all, I have been the owner of a Seat Leon ST (2018) with the 1.4 TGI engine since last week. I picked up the car in Munich with winter tyres (205 and R16) and drove about 400km home on the highway with an average consumption of 3.6kg/100km at 135kmh cruise. On Friday I put on my summer tyres from the old car (225/35/R19) and drove almost 200km highway on the weekend. I expected some extra consumption, but so much??? Still have the original summer tyres from Seat with 225 tyres and 17 inches. Do you think that would consume less, despite the same tire width? Would it be worth buying a 205 summer tire? Maybe a few TGI drivers can tell me your experiences with consumptions with 17 inches of 225 summer tires. Thank you already! I will drive a lot of highways in the future and then I will be able to drive it makes a big difference in the long term whether I consume 3.5kg/100km or almost double.

  • What shock absorbers?

    Seat Leon 1.8 TSI FR, Bj2013. I would like to change all shock absorbers with dome bearing. The part number for the rear axle can be easily seen in the photo. This is a bit difficult for the rear axle, but I could decipher it by comparing it in the ETKA.https://nemigaparts.com/en/cat_spares/etka/seat/le/754/411000/ rear axle: 5Q0512011HHH Front axle: 5Q0413031FH If I now enter the divider with e.g. autodoc, then there are 4 manufacturers left and for Sachs this damper is then the Right: https://www.autodoc.de/sachs/14922297 But I don’t want Sachs dampers but Bilstein and below that I can’t find them with the part number. I have to trust the filter from Autodoc. Two dampers from Bilstein are recommended to me: https://www.autodoc.de/bilstein/9129438https://www.autodoc.de/bilstein/13653383 The first one is Multi-Link axle and the second rigid axle. Which one suits my car when you look at the Sachs above with the original part number? Be I don’t understand anything anymore. Actually I ask that because I would like to buy such a mega set of dampers, dome bearings and dust protection on ebay. According to autodoc the dampers do not fit under the link. According to the ebay list already. https://www.ebay.de/itm/403924971805 On the front axle I measured the outer diameter of the damper and that is 55. What do you think? Should I buy this set or not?

  • Rims / tires for winter – please for support

    Hello together, I recently bought a Leon ST, which is currently still on summer bikes at the dealer’s. The weather is slowly becoming wintery and I need suitable tyres accordingly. Because of the rideability in winter I tend actually to 17 inch winter complete wheels. However, I lack the experience, which rim/tire combination is best. Could one also take VW complete wheels for Golf 7 and simply exchange hub cap for one of Seat? How are your Erf What tyres or rims are recommended for Leon? I would be very grateful for your advice.

  • Service – is the Leon really that bad?

    Hello, I’ve had a current Seat Leon St 1.5 eTSI as a rental car the last few days and I’m a bit shocked how badly the service is done. So I wanted to ask the experts if the Leon is really so bad or I just should have left the BDA for longer. What I noticed was: 1. The radar sensor was probably broken. Well, there’s nothing for the car. But I got the warning “FrontAssist not available” at (un) regular intervals with Bimmelei and display. 1x nac h the start would have been enough. But not after every brake? 2. Disabling the Fa then requires a pressure on the assistance button, but in order to get back to the previous view I have to press View 4 or 5 times. Uh. 3. Temperature higher / lower: is a pure random product. Sometimes it goes immediately, never, sometimes with delay but then several times. 4. Ventilation can only be set by touch in a submenu? Really? Voice control says, climate does not work about voice control. 2022? Seriously? Seat heating didn’t have the car, but it would be just as cumbersome to operate? 5. VZE regularly indicated 30 km/h, probably if it had not recognized anything? On BAB, country road, no matter where. 6. Start/stop you can’t turn off at all? 7. All assistants are back on after engine restart. Gearbox is back on D. The car doesn’t remember my preferred configuration. 8. Navigation via Android car. Sometimes the announcements come out of hand. y, not about the on-board speakers. However, the system recognizes the announcement very well, since the radio is mutating in the meantime. Please tell me that this is not the future in the VW Group. A gigantic step backwards to my old Golf 7.

  • can you exchange freshly bought alus + mature after 3 days?

  • 1993 ABK in basic position — how?

    Hello dear target group, first: Yes the topic, how to drive the motors into the basic position I read. For the ABK is described to describe the channel 0 of the adaptation. Unfortunately, this is only half the truth. Channel 0 deletes the learning values. In the ELSA-WIN, however, the channel 1 is still described. Here the motor is to be moved into the diagnostic mode. For this purpose, it should check its vital values, such as activated carbon filter valve, throttle position, cooling water temperature etc. and Then jump into the diagnostic mode. The problem with the story: My ABK doesn’t seem to know channel 1. Message is “Not available”. I get the message on the hand scanner and literally in the VCDS 908. I wanted to try it out with an old VAG-COM, but the 311 only seems to work with the cheap interfaces, at least not with my car-intern interface. Why do I want to do this? Only in diagnostic mode the ABK sets the ignition time to 6° before OT.

  • Audi 80 no longer pulls at once

    Hello! I drive an Audi 80 year of construction 94, 2,0E 117 hp. I have the following problem: My car is generally bad, if for example on the federal road sometimes really acceleration then it always pulls so piece-white, so well then again about 2000 revolutions bad then comes again a thrust and so on. So just never in a flow. So much to that. But that is not my biggest problem. Now it just does not start to pull at all during the ride. The speeds fall n into the basement and if I continued to give gas, it would probably go out too. (If I went off the gas too late he would also get some kind of misignition, so he SHOWS something). It feels like the exhaust was completely clogged and the exhaust gases could not be removed anymore. Then I push the clutch, let it out again and sometimes it works that after repeated this procedure I can go back to normal as if nothing had happened. The mistake has no particular pattern as it occurs. No matter what weather the car is cold or warm. Then it’s sometimes a week at a time when it just spins around and then again a week nothing. I have no idea what that can be and would really be very happy if one of you could tell me tips or maybe even the solution.

  • Oil loss of unknown origin in the ABC engine

    My Audi 80 2.6E has had a small oil loss for almost half a year. This is expressed in such a way that the oil runs at some point on the hot exhaust and then produces burnt smell there. Unfortunately, you only see the oil when you remove the lower lining. Now I have had the car so often in the workshop. I had the cylinder head seals replaced, cost a lot of money. Now I am in the workshop every few weeks, they wash the oil down to see where It’s coming from here, but the source is undetectable. I’ve been driving almost most of the miles in the last few months with workshop commuters! Does anyone still know typical leak spots at the ABC machine? The workshop can’t find out where it’s coming from. I’m already close to leaving the car, although I just put so much money in it recently.
