Moin, I would like to buy the Leon “Xcellence” (5-door) with – 1.8 TSI DSG without dynamic package or – 1.4 TSI DSG with dynamic package. Price-wise, the 1.8 DSG without dynamic package and the 1.4 DSG with dynamic package do not take much and are both in my budget. I need the DSG because of my disability in the left leg, because I cannot use the clutch reasonably. Since I drive 80% in a big city, the question is whether the 1.8 is not too much fuel compared to the 1.4 Is it possible to use about 8 litres for the 1.8 DSG? It is also important for me to maintain the durability of the engine (and in the case of 1.4, that of the DCC) because I want to keep the vehicle for more than 5 years – rather 8+ years. Therefore, the question arises: 1.4 with DCC (Dynamic package) or 1.8 without DCC? Thank you for your answers in advance LG Cossor

Hello together, I have been the owner of a SC Cupra 290 for 2 weeks. Since the winter is already at the start I of course also need reasonable winter tires. Before I order my desired rims online, I have 1-2 questions to you, which you can answer for sure. 1. According to papers I can drive rims or tyres with a press-in depth of 49 or 51. 225/45 R17. Is it ‘no matter’ if the press-in depth differs with my desired rims, e.g. ET 45? 2. How does this look with tyre pressure Do I have to buy special tires so that my Cupra doesn’t complain that he no longer detects tyre pressure? (Heard about any sensors on the valve) Thank you very much 😉

Hello, I have to order a new company car. My favourite is currently the Leon ST. Dangers I have the (as well as the Octavia) as 2.0 TDI with DSG, was in both cases too loud. I drove the 1.4 TSI in the Gulf, I found acoustically better, and since this petrol engine emits below 125 grams of CO2 and from the list price is significantly below the diesel the bottom line as a company car would be the cheapest choice. The demonstration car was a FR, now I am considering whether a FR or a XCELLENCE would be the better choice. I also have a few questions: Design/Color: I like the Leon in bright colors best, after even white uni extra cost the jump to metallic is not high, but I have not yet consciously perceived a Leon in Nevada white, is that much different? Does someone happen to have a photo ready on which both can be seen at the same time? Interior equipment: The demonstration car had the Alcantara seats, special equipment: – has the LED interior Is there any additional lighting or is only the existing one replaced with LED? – Is the inclination of the seat adjustable in conjunction with the electrically adjustable driver’s seat also adjustable? – Dynamics Package: didn’t the demonstration car. How can I imagine the effect of progressive steering? Is the DCC in the FR in the basic setting harder than the XCELLENCE? – No chance of live traffic except carplay with maps? Winter tyres/snow chains: if I use the tyre catalog at Seat ric htig deute go without restrictions only 16×6,5? Thank you for your feedback. Greetings, Olli

Hi! I will soon have to renew the wheel hub. Has it been shown during the wheel change that the threads are there (from the rim screws). Were probably a little too hard tightened, I needed almost 220 Nm to loosen them. Screws are bent, threads are also completely round. I have already found spare parts. But now I have no workshop manual or similar. From the appearance only the wheel has to go down and the central nut/screw off..? With what torque should the new one be tightened? Greetz, Bob

Moin Moin, I ordered a Seat Leon ST cupra 290 at the end of September. At this time I didn’t think it was clear that the cupra 3/5 doorr was getting a new exhaust system. However, the ST station wagon was not. The reason for this is that it was too loud in the interior during the tests and you don’t want to “dry” the passengers. I’m very disappointed that they installed a class exhaust system with the other two variants of the Cupras and that the ST did not !!! Since for me an almost 300hp strong car should sound accordingly. Here now my question: Do you think if I talk to the Seat dealer, that I would have an additional flap exhaust system installed (by Seat) that it is possible to keep the new car warranty? Had seen a super flap exhaust system from the company JE DESIGN. I find that sounds really great and has decent quality in my opinion. MfG Cupracer93

Yesterday after I switched to winter bikes I had vibrations in the whole vehicle. Strangely, the tires are used on new rim, on the previous rim I had no problem. I first thought that I caused the pinning itself due to a lack of mounting (drive with 7mm distance plates without centering). But after I have checked everything again it can’t be because of it. Steering wheel also does not zap, so unbalance at least on the front wheel can lock out weights are also all on it… Can it possibly be due to the assembly? Tires not properly mounted on rim.?? Has anyone ever had this before? New box and already the first trouble with the car… starts well!
