Hello guys, our Leon (Bj 2002) has a rather rusty brake disc on the rear axle. We bought it in February 2013 and before that he seems to have stood around for a long time. The question that arises to me, is it because of the pads? And is it enough if I renew the discs and the pads or can it also be a fixed seat? or is there too much air in the system? hope one can help me further. That’s how the brake looks at the moment, no matter how hard I put into the pedals la tsche: http://data.motor-talk.de/…/…axle-brake-8264159942943871578.jpg

Hi Together, I have a few questions about the facelift of the current Leon. Drive a Leon ST FR (184PS HS) at the moment. Question: 1. Has the center console become narrower due to the absence of the manual parking brake? Find the already very wide on my 2013 Leon – my right leg could use a little more space 😉 2. I read that the seats in the Xcellence would be slightly more padded than in the FR – is that right? Greetings

Hello everybody, I was at the IAA last week and wanted to warm up my anticipation on my ordered Cupra 300 ST 4drive with a visit to the SEAT stand. There was exactly this car on display but with a few details that were not available so far: – Active Info Display – Beats Audio Soundsystem – Changed Alu entry bars (only Cupra logo, no “CUPRA” lettering anymore) and something I can’t remember anymore According to the lady at the stand, these are features I couldn’t find any official information about this in spite of google. She also meant the Beats-Audio System is offered in addition to the SEAT Sound System, i.e. as an upper premium offer. Do you know something more precise or does someone have official information? With such information from hostesses at the stand you have to be more careful… 😉 Thank you! TT.

Hi together, we are interested in a Leon X-Perience. A few questions have been asked: What are the consumption experiences with the 150 and 184 hp diesel DSG? For us, only the DSG necessarily comes into question, because we would like to drive automatic again. Current vehicle is a VW CC petrol with DSG. How about the ACC? We are used to this from the CC. Does the Leon also brake until a stop when approaching another vehicle? The CC has the intelligent Xeno I read a lot about the LED headlights. Does the Leon have a turning light on LED? with not LED headlights this seems to be realized via the NSW. With LED then also? With the facelift there was probably the electric parking brake. Since we might also consider a 2016 model, the question is whether the handbrake quickly gets “play”. How is the noise level in general? The CC is very l Eise – which is of course also class-related. Is the Leon rather loud compared to its competitors? Thank you for any help! Adrian

Hello, for some time the footroom on the passenger side has been wet again and again. If I have my Leon standing in the rain or driving in the rain, no water penetrates at all. I only always notice it in the morning, and that mostly after it snowed (but not always). I have also done a watering can test, which also did not get through water. I was also recently in the washing machine, and there were no problems. In advance: I am not interested in cars. Is it possible that damp objects in the car (e.g. snow brooms or disc sponge) can lead to such a wetness? The things are lying on the back seat, so I think that you can rule that out. 2. Can possibly snow get into the cockpit from the engine compartment? What else could I do for tests to get the leaky S It’s really just the passenger side, everything else is dry. Thanks for your answers, and a healthy year 2018. LG

Hello! I will probably buy a Seat Leon 5F soon (FL/new order) and am still a bit unsure about the equipment. Currently the configuration looks like this: – FR 1.4 TSI with 125hp – Nevada White – ACC – roof sky black – 18″ Performance rims – Media Package (consisting of: navigation system “normal” incl. mapcare, rear camera, SEAT Sound System, SEAT Full Link, spare wheel) – Multifunction camera PLUS (tracking assistant, driving light assistant, traffic signer – Austria package for FR (full LED headlights, parking aid front + rear, electronics package) – normal fabric seats – winter package With the current Navi (standard) there is apparently a problem with the SD cards. Does the Navi+ also have any difficulties in this regard? The data should be stored there on the hard drive… What is the audio technical situation? I would like to have the Seat Soundsystem or possibly the upcoming Beats Audio System installed. . Apparently the Navi+ has a better amplifier in connection with the Beats audio system. Does anyone have more info about it? How do you find the DCC? Is it worth an extra charge of 840€? lg and many thanks

Hello, I have the following problem with my Seat Leon, model 1m, built in 2004, 1.9TDI, 110kw/150ps with 193,000km (no all-wheel drive). The braking performance is extremely bad compared to all cars I have known and even driven so far. Even with full braking it is not possible for me to push the car into the ABS. Only with brakes from very low speed (e.g. 30 zone) the braking effect is acceptable. eläge Jurid) is also anything but beautiful (see pictures). However, a free workshop gave me the information that the braking performance should still be completely sufficient despite the bad performance pattern. To my surprise I also got new TÜV this month, contrary to my expectations. Below are the results of the braking performance: Operating brake: Front left: 300 [daN] Front right: 280 [daN] Back left: 180 [daN] Back right: 180 [daN] Brake BBA: 51 % parking brake: Left: 130 [daN] Right: 140 [daN] Deceleration FBA: 15 % The question now arises how I can repair my brakes. I fear that only the change of brake discs and pads will bring nothing in the long term, as the discs will probably form a rim again after a very short time. Could it be on the brake calipers, vacuum pump or also the brake power amplifier?

Hello, my Leon Cupra BJ 2007 spins the speed since the latest. As soon as you walk off the gas, no matter if you are coupled or uncoupled, the car still gives gas independently. So the speed decreases more slowly when you couple, than normal, partly still hangs something etc. The car is connected accordingly later on from the gas than you actually do with the pedal. The speed is sometimes not at 800 rpm, but partly at 1000 rpm, hangs there for several seconds, It’s always a bit different, but not as it should be. If the car is cold, it actually runs correctly. The warmer it gets, the more the error occurs and after 30min drive it is “the worst”. Sometimes you stand at the traffic light and at once it regulates slightly up to 1500 rpm and then down again. Had the car in the meantime in the workshop. The throttle valve was removed and cleaned, but that didn’t have anything to do with it. The workshop doesn’t really know any advice, so I ask again here. Errors are: P1093 Fuel measurement system Bank 1 2 Misfunction implausible signal Error Test cycle complete sporadic error Error would cause no lightening of a warning lamp P0507 Idle speed control Speed exceeded over set value upper limit Error Test cycle complete sporadic error Error would cause no lightening of a warning lamp De r P0507 is probably gone after the redevelopment of the throttle valve, but the workshop does not know any advice about the P1093 either. Has anyone had an idea or the problem before? What can be definitely excluded or what can one narrow down? Thanks already and many greetings!

So friends of the sun, have read a lot of topics for a long time and it is soon time with us, offspring is on and d the Hyundai Getz wants to be replaced. Many cars we have looked at and also test drives, from combi to minivans (Meriva , Golf plus) But we are most likely to agree the golf class. And since we have not yet exceeded the 30 (not misunderstood) we would want to have a car which is something sporty and family-friendly. So the Seat Leon is very interesting. Is the 5F enough for a small family? Enough space for everything? The next question would be the motorization. 1.2 110 hp or 1.4 125 ps? We drive 60% city 20 land and rest highway and mostly quieter. But sometimes also something with steam. Is the extra charge for 1.4er, extra power worth it? And is the 1.2er with 110 too much overgrown and has hardly any reserves? Am not a professional in the matter of cars and engine, but all the statements I have taken up so often

Hello, I’m about to get a Leon ST Cupra 300 4Drive and I’m looking for a fancy wintering alufelgen. I wanted to buy the original Seat Leon Cupra winter complete wheels Alufelgen bright black 235/35 R19. There are also original winter complete wheels in 18 inch 225/40 R18 in silver, which I don’t like optically on a pirineos grey Leon. I like the original 19 inch really good. But I have to remember that in winter the rims with the tire combination too hard How are your experiences? I looked around in the accessories after 18 inches rims and there are so many not in 7.5×18. In the COC it says that only 7.5×18 are allowed for 18 inches!
