  • Cupra 300 Performance Increase

    Hello, I’m currently driving a Leon Cupra 300 (hand-operated, 5-door (no ST), built in 06/2017) and would like to increase it from the power to approx. 350 – 400 hp. In this context I would like to change something about the exhaust system. It should sound a little louder and duller/bassier. Unfortunately I don’t know about it very well. Can I give jmd. tips and possibly post experiences, which tuner of the price/performance is good? Thank you and Best regards

  • Good winter tires for Leon? Experience with Nokian?

    Hello, I drive a Leon ST FR, BJ 2019 with the 150 HP engine. Since I only have summer tyres so far, I wanted to have a set of winter tyres. In Norway I had on it with a vehicle of Nokian, which were really good. In this country they seem to be rarer, but have found these now: Nokian WR Snowproof P 205/55 R17 95V XL 17 inches I wanted to have, but no RunFlats. Does anyone with these or others from Nokian have experience here? Thank you!

  • Change winter tyres between Seat Leon Cupra ST and Skoda Octavia/Superb

    Hi, I’m currently driving a Seat Leon Cupra ST 2018 as a leasing car. Got the car with summer tires and got me the here as a winter tire: BROCK B32 in 7.5×18 LZ/LK 5×112, ET 51 NB 57,1 Now it will probably be the case that I have to switch to a Skoda Octavia or Skoda Superb for best reasons. Does anyone know if I can also use the above-mentioned tyres on a Skoda? According to lochkreisdaten.de I actually see only differences in the ET value or is it very important? at the ET value? Do I understand that right, that the tire then “expands”? Have little idea, so I hope that someone can help me here bg janwill

  • VAG petrol engine 1.4 or 1.8 TSI engine

What has VW / VAG built there of technology ? In advance thank you ??

  • Deficiencies in 5F

    Hello together, so far there were only small things that were quickly fixed by the dealer. Now I have discovered moisture in the right rear light and complained today. He took photos and then wants to wait for an answer from SEAT, whether completely replaced or only sealed. I can’t imagine, however, that on the LED lights a bit can be sealed. In addition, today I objected to a water break at the passenger door. The water then licks on the seal between the door and the door door door and from there it runs on the floor mat on the inside via the threshold. Strange is only, by powerful washing with the garden hose the leak cannot be simulated. On 29.1. my X-Perience has now a workshop appointment, let’s see what is going on. If the problems are “unfortunate single case” e”, or are the well-known “suffering” of the 5F? Greeting Oxebo

  • Winter tyres Seat Leon 5F (2017)

    Hello I would like to buy winter tyres for my Leon (205/55 R16 91V) Now my question, I have to pay attention to the fact that this sensor for the air pressure with in the tire or valve is or is this sitting somewhere else in the car?

  • Grate on the exhaust hood

    Hello, today I picked up my new used Leon. What I noticed already during the visit, on the exhaust blinds is rust. Otherwise the car has no rust only on the two tailpipes. I thought that I took care of it myself and hope someone has a good tip for me. It is not bad but s****** looks. Change my idea blind, however, because it is not how elaborate that is. I can not weld. Eventuel the old from and a new one with bells. or polish the stainless steel / loop in the hope that you can get rid of it. Vllt someone had the same problem and knows remedy. Would be very grateful. Mfg Basti

  • VW and recall

    On ntv I am reading the following message, probably also our Leon (possibly also other models?) concerning VW is about to call back all Golf VIII According to a newspaper report, Volkswagen Golf VIII models have to call into the workshops because of problems with the infotainment system. Thus, the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung” had reported that Volkswagen was thinking of calling back all delivered models of Golf VIII. “It was already known that there were problems with Golf VIII. “Nevertheless, it is rather negative for sentiment,” continues the market participant, also in view of the fact that the vehicles will have much more software on board in the future. VW shares are slightly declining, as does BMW. Daimler titles, on the other hand, gain 0.5 percent.

  • Remove Diesel Tank Stop Idiots Protection

    Hello guys, does someone know if, or how to remove the tank protection from petrol taps in the diesel tank socket of the Seat-Leon? It was originally intended, so that an average American can’t accidentally refuel petrol in the diesel vehicle. At the moment, it is causing me problems if I want to refuel from my 20 liter canisters. There are adapters, but 9 EUR for such a plastic part is completely exaggerated.
