  • Price level Golf vs. Leon: Where is the catch?

    Hello, it may be that my wife and I are about to buy a car in the near future and in this context I’m a little bit configuring about a combination of the compact and the lower middle class. I like Leon very much anyway. If I put this as ST in the relation to a golf variant, I ask myself: Where is the catch? The Leon has made himself neat – ok, as far as the interior design is concerned, you can find the golf more beautiful. But w As far as the materials are concerned, the Leon is also very solid. The conformation even exudes much more appeal in Leon than in the Gulf. If I see that the list prices in themselves are already lower in Seat than in VW and then comes to the fact that you get significantly more discount at Seat (to the 30 percent for self-employed), you get to ponder. Of course you don’t get all brand new options for the Seat like the Golf (1.5 TSI, Cupra with the old “R” engine, old DSG). this does not apply to all equipment options and it is possible to configure a Seat Leon ST at the technical level of a VW Golf Variant. The high discounts at Seat are likely to be negative in terms of resale alone. But otherwise: I don’t see any disadvantage when buying a Seat?!?

  • Turbocharger sometimes falls from 1.4 TSI

    Hello, unfortunately I have the following problem. My turbocharger sometimes simply fails, often when I drive about 120 km/h and wants to accelerate in the 6th gear. Suddenly no more power, engine control lamp is missing. After I turn off the ignition and turn it on again everything runs 100%. I once had a friend read out the error memory after it occurred: charging pressure control limit not reached/understepped. At first it happened about every 15000 kilometers but e The turbo is now more common. Even today when the load changes from the 4th to the 2nd gear at full throttle the turbo has once failed. The seat has been chipped since 90000 kilometers. Can the turbo be defective? I can hardly imagine it, because once I really speed through all the gears, it runs perfectly and the error comes rather sporadically and felt then when the engine is really warm. Maybe I also worry too much, but it was only 2 weeks ago in the workshop, chain over Since then I’ve been afraid that that’s something again, because this action was expensive enough.

  • WHAT IS HERE LOS???! Or: How do I break impact wrench nuts on the Legacy rear axle…

    Hello together, yes the chrome vanadium steel. After my turbo saddles are now beamed and varnished (VA) and only a few spare parts are missing, I thought, come, let the rear axles disassemble from the Legacy Turbo. Just for straightening and so on. I don’t think anything bosses. Impact wrench taken 19er nut and give it. Well -taktakak – nix geht. Is everything lazy. OK, rust releaser. Dump and coffee meanwhile. Again – 10 seconds long – a blow – shatters me the Proxxon nut. No matter, shit on it, get away with it, want anyway more noble. Well, and now comes: Here comes the Gedore nut for impact wrench unpacked. Full solder on the screw ridden – Bam – crack – NUSS broken, not the assi screw. And the end of the song? I grinches right, the sow. picture in the attachment. What am I shocked about holding the handbrake?

  • Operation MIB3 Infotainment

    I’m kind of friends with the MIB3 infontainment (9.2) in the model year21. On one side it’s big and impressive. On the other side the menu guide is still a bit cumbersome for me at the moment. In navigation there are settings that can only be set up with activated target guide, others you have to set up in the setup menu. Currently I have failed to change the map view to 3D only at the moment. Some settings in the area Setup Auto are probably missing to the previous model or are accommodated in some new category. Man must get used to it. What is still noticeable to me at the moment: – In Bluetooth connection with the mobile phone and the addition of favorites contact images are totally pixelized if probably the source image on the mobile phone has original size. – If you go back in the settings in the menu to come back to 8 of 10 cases always again into the main menu. Some annoying, that you have to click back into the menu once again. – The connection after the engine start is more likely to be used.

  • Question on the behaviour of the (after-activated) VZE

    Hello again… I have activated the VZE with my car with MIB2 and Standardnavi via the “Car Scanner” app and now have some questions about the display behavior. Scenario 1: Digital cockpit in “Classic” display with Navicard. Navimode also on the multimedia display. Target guidance is not active. Speed limitation small in the upper area of the DC and at the top right of the MM. In case of overtaking prohibition only speed limitation in the DC and MM. See picture 1. I place Navicard on MM Display speed limitation and overtaking prohibition on the left edge are displayed above each other. Scenario 2: DC in one of the three freely configurable modes with traffic sign detection. Navimode also on the multimedia display. Target guidance is not active. Speed limitation in the “main area” of the DC and at the top right of the MM. In case of overtaking prohibition the overtaking prohibition sign in the DC appears next to the speed limitation and in the MM overlap both on the top right. Image 2. Overtaking prohibition is almost not recognizable.

  • Remodeling a deceptive light band, replace it?

    Hello, I wanted to ask if someone has dealt with the “light band” between the rear lights, if there are possibly already approaches for an exchange for a real lighting?? My dealer said when ordering my vehicle in February/March that there should already be a replacement bar at Amazon. However, I have not found anything there yet. Maybe there is someone still looking for and knows more about it… would certainly be a nice gimmick for the accessory trade. If it would be permissible at all?!?

  • Tarraco FR in Merlot Red

    I’d like to say a little bit more about it, but I’d like to say a little bit about it. I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to do it again. I’m going to do it. I’m going to do it again.

  • Cupra Kauf – Recognize accident car

    Hello to the round, I would like to buy a used Seat Leon Cupra ST and was at the dealer’s today. I like the car if it is really accident-free, as the dealer says. An online check of the chassis number did not reveal any abnormalities. Data: Leon ST 2.0 TSI 4Drive 7593/AMY First registration: 04.04.2019 KM Stand: 48,500 1 previous owner Tüv new in April I am particularly surprised by the luggage compartment, side skirts and engine compartment, but I am also not a car mechanic. Luggage compartment: the original sticker of the old tips on the internet should be on the floor is not there. Side skirt: the paint is wavy, the dealer said that would be normal. Engine compartment: The welds work after processed. How is your opinion? Thanks for the help.

  • Cooling water disappears / cylinder head seal?

    Hello you, I’ve had a new car for 2 weeks, until now I’m not at all satisfied! Drive a Seat Leon 1.6 tdi Bj2014 with 166000 km When I bought the car I had a relatively long way home (300km), I left the car at home for about 30 min. After that I started the car and he brought me the error message cooling water level low! For me it was extremely funny because the car was freshly checked by 2 Tüvs. So I filled the coolant and continued to watch, at the beginning rose and sank the coolant. But after 2 days it remained constant. I drove the rest of the days only short distances, while the coolant level remained constant! Until today, I drove again a long distance 300km. I checked the coolant level from neugier, it was only slippery under minimum. So I opened the coolant balance tank and still heard a hissing it streamed again (after that it went over the overflow) . The coolant level sank again did not have to fill up any more of the oil again. I didn’t do not have any trouble.

  • Diesel engine set cold under full load

    Good afternoon together. In itself I drive motors always very sensitively warm and also stay on the highway with 90 km/h behind the trucks until the oil temperature is 90 °C. Only then I drive with a higher speed than 2000 revolutions and also higher load. But now it came yesterday within the city to a driving situation, in which I had to load the engine, which just one minute ran, in the first and second gear more strongly to come relatively fast to almost 30 km/h. In the process the engine was also briefly turned over 3000 revolutions. In the afterward I found all this not good, since the oil at the time could have had just 14 °C. I hope that now there has been no greater damage / wear on the turbocharger and the other lubricating places. Do you have an assessment about how harmful these about 10 seconds could have been in the cold state? Many greetings
