Moin, I have often read in forums, but never thought that I will register myself. Therefore, a hello to everyone. I am in the following situation: Currently I drive a Seat Leon 5f FR 2.0 TDI with 237hp. A few weeks ago someone drove me into the rear bumper and of course committed driving flight.. Now I have the opportunity to buy a finished painted Cupra 280 bumper and AGA for a good price. (comes to me even cheaper than repainting the bumper). But now I have only one problem. Is it possible to register something like this? What difficulties can this cause? LG Mex

Hello, have a problem with our Leon 5F BJ 2016. For 3 days now, where it is a little colder, the windshield freezes from the inside. It is a real ice layer on it in the morning, where small pieces of ice fall on the amaturating board and water beads run down the disc. Already last year and in the autumn it was observed that small water drops on the top of the disc, mostly around the mirror region small drips However, the workshop did it with moisture in the car. Dangers the car becomes daily 2x30km, climate always runs along. Bringing away and fetching the two kids stand on the way back morning and evening due to the strap-on of the kids the doors also longer open so that also the moister warm air can out. In the car is also always a dehumidifier, rubber floor mats are used which are dry and the designed newspaper under the mats / in the footroom is also absolutely troc I couldn’t see any water break-in. I don’t type on moisture in the car like the workshop, there should be several or all the windows covered / icy or ? It only affects the windshield, the others don’t even run on. Also hang some pictures, the one just at defrost and the other around prime condition, there is also to see that all other windows are clear. As already mentioned fog don’t even the other windows, even when I took the photo the inside and squatted in the car for a few minutes. Maybe one or the other has an idea what it might be about or what I could change in my ventilation behavior??? Workshop does not stir a finger dran because supposedly only moisture is inside.

Hello can one tell me where the thermostat should sit exactly the exchange

Hello , when I went to my Seat Leon today lay my mirror housing driver side next to my car. The mirrors had not been folded.Today it is also quite windy outside with us, so it can be that the housing has made itself thereby “loose” or must I rather expect that someone might have to tear them down willingly ? At the car is nothing to see, Blinker also works mirror housing lying on the road has some scratches now and is fortunately also not a uf the road rolled.. means I could mount again. Has anyone ever had such a similar case ? Am somehow confused

Hello together, we have decided to buy a Seat Leon 1.8 TSI + DSG. But are we not yet sure whether day registration (20 km) or a used car (1J / 25,000 km). The price difference makes around 3,000 EURO with comparable equipment. Here we are torn back and forth what is better. On the one hand, 3,000 EURO is a lot of money, on the other hand you know with the quasi new car also really that it was not abused before. What do you think about it? What we definitely want to do is extend the connection guarantee at Seat to 5 J (unfortunately later and therefore a little expensive, but ok). A question that asks us, which inspections expect us in the near future with the two variants. On the Internet I researched the first inspection at 30,000 km, but also read in forums that after 1,000 km an oil change is required. S The dealer offers us the first inspection at 30,000 km for 550 EUR, I assume that this is a bad offer or not? Thank you for your assessments.

Hello, My Leon has to go to the first service after 2 years including oil change. It is built in 4/2018. I wanted to switch to fixed intervals and drive 5w40 oil. In my manual (11/2017) there is the standard 50400 at a fixed interval which is but 5w30. The standard 50200 does not exist which contains the 5w40 oils. In the manual 11/2016 it is still in it. And in the manual 7/2018 and later there is nothing more for petrolers. Have they forgotten this? So according to my manual ic h then no 5w40 drive with 50200 standard. Thought that always works. What do you say about it? Ask dealers?

Moin moin, I thought, I share my experience with a lean steering wheel from delivery here also again. I had picked up my Cupra 290 on 22.04. in WOB. On the return trip (largely highway) I noticed that if I drive exactly straight, the steering wheel stands so at 11:58. After a few more rides/days it was always noticeable to me, so sometimes to the dealer and on the internet asked. I do not seem to be the only one. The dealer had probably already had already I was then remeasured yesterday and so. Since I am not at home myself, I only got a scan of the survey by e-mail. I could not drive myself yet. (Protocol is attached) How can this be done that the values are not correct from the factory? I still noticed that the follow-up was apparently not perfectly adjusted or maybe not perfectly adjusted. I have to ask that again, whereby the follow-up was not completely adjusted. run is actually not soo critical. At least related to wheel wear, steering wheel position,…

Hello all, my current car (Ford Focus, 2002 BJ, 202000 km) is unfortunately becoming more and more uneconomic, so I think about buying a new car. Since Leon like me is a rather nice little station wagon, I thought about it. I drive about 30000 km a year, friends and hobby due to a lot of highway. What I want is a gasoline that I can drive for a long time. Tempomat is important to me and it should also be able to drive faster (around the 220 would be great). My budget is c a. 18.000 euros. Now I have looked at mobile and saw that unfortunately there are not many Leons up to the budget. I also heard of a steering chain problem that often led to the problem with relatively young engines, however, this should extend to the whole VW family. Does anyone know from which model, respectively BJ, this is no longer available? Is the car useful for the purpose, or did I now let myself be misled by the Internet and friends? D Anke! VIele Greesse
