  • Decision-making aid for motorization

    Hello dear Seat friends, now that I have been one of the quiet readers in this forum for a long time and have already picked up numerous tips, I have to bother you with my situation My previous loyal companion, a 10 years and 155,000 km old VW Golf 5, which is “powered” by a 75 hp gasoline engine, is to be replaced by a Seat Leon (whether ST or not is yet fixed). The latter become with my gulf, which has the felt acceleration of a truck so slowly to a agony, which also consumes a huge amount of oil and fuel – something new has to come! To my way of driving: I am not a “raiser” – goes of course not even starting with my car But also with faster rental cars I commute at a cruising speed (not average speed) 150 to max. 160 km/h, because everything about it will be too exhausting in the long term. Who has kept it up to this point, can perhaps also help me with my actual question, namely which motorization is best suited for it. The following engines are possible for me: – 1.2 TSI Start&Stop 81 kW (110 hp) – 1.4 TSI Start&Stop 92 kW (125 hp) – 1.4 TSI ACT Start&Stop 110 kW (150 hp) – Price may be a little too high, if, however, he is fuel-sparpotentia l has and in the end promises much more driving pleasure, could this money be well invested there his rich 110 hp to be able to drive on the highway at this speed relaxed and remains the consumption even in the acceptable range? Is the 1.4 TSI ACT at the speed of the AUtobahn significantly more economical and pleasant to drive? I am really grateful about your experiences and advice – I can not take a test ride so quickly! It would bring me a bit closer to my dream car again – I have configured it for the 50th time in total.

  • Seat Leon ST Cupra 280 DSG Klappert and poltert after only 13000 km

    Do you have similar problems in the 1st and 2nd gears of the DSG? I was at the friendly and after the second attempt to eliminate it it was said that it was “state of the art”. Now I should accept it. Absolute impudence in a vehicle costs 43000 Euro. What experiences do you have? How can I proceed? Don’t accept this lack. I found the following court judgment:http://www.anwalt.de/…eusche-am-pkw-mit-dsg-gerebriebe_066890.html LG Jacuzz

  • Seat Leon ST Cupra DSG or manual circuit where to find reliable values

    I’m about to buy a Seat Leons Cupra ST with 265 hp, but I’m not sure yet with which circuit. I’ve tested a DSG Cupra but I can’t find a switch. If you find detailed information about the driving performance between DSG and switch somewhere in the network. I’d be particularly interested in the sprint from 0 to 100 and also the typical speed increase on the motorway to speed up a little bit later. By that I mean the range 120 – 200. any info on the net? At the DSG, the Cupra only calls its fastest acceleration in Cupra mode or is this independent of the chosen mode.

  • Seat Leon SC 1.2 TSI – Beginner’s vehicle?!

    Hey, I’m going to be 18 soon and I’m looking for a reliable, safe but also fancy vehicle. Recently I stumbled over a two-year-old Seat Leon SC with the 1.2 and 110 hp at a local BMW car dealership (was by chance there). It ran only 14,000 km and was delivered when buying a new BMW. Equipment fits, it even has the good LED headlights and many more extras. I’m going to drive a total of about 15,000 km a year and the question is now whether you already had experiences with the 1.2 TSi with 110 hp and how your general opinion on the model presented is. (: It is finally about my first own car, which is why I have a lot of thoughts, should be understandable… By the way, the price of the Leon SC is 13.000€, but we give off a Corsa, so we have to pay at the end approx. 800€ – 850€. What do you think about it or do you have possible alternatives??? Thank you already in advance!(:

  • Seat Leon Cupra 5F ST Questions

    Hello seat municipality. I would very much like to buy a seat leon cupra 5f st, preferably the one with 300ps. Whether all-wheel or front is still unclear to me.

Hope you can help me there something, and Tell me where the cupra likes to do his problems. Thank you.

  • Rearview camera with black corners and wrong sidelines

    Hello, with my Seat Leon 1.4 TSI ST BJ2018 the corners are black at the rear camera above. The projected side lines also do not correspond to the actual width of the vehicle. When I rely on the side lines, I am left. If I park on a curb edge with the line, there is still a lot of distance when getting out, although the line shows the vehicle as exactly on it. Was today with the friendly because I have a residual guarantee + 3 years warranty extension e and I were told that at the top left and right the black surfaces would be normal and that the sidelines do not correspond to the vehicle dimensions and therefore are not really there for the estimation of the side spacing. Pictures are included. Is this both really normal? Black corners and sidelines that do not match the vehicle width? Thank you for the answers.

  • Seat Leon ST Cupra Maintenance costs DSG VS hand switch, general maintenance costs

    Hello dear Seat driver :-D, I would like to get a Leon ST Cupra 280 in about 2 months as a day registration or as used with less than 10,000 kilometers mileage. I like the mixture of performance and also price and equipment very well. Insurance, tax and fuel costs have already been calculated, that is feasible and within the frame. I drive so about 12-15000km a year. For me is now interesting, when is the first maintenance due? or which fixed intervals must I What does the maintenance cost me more than with the DSG than with the HS. I heard that the oil has to be changed regularly? Do I have to do the maintenance at the Seat dealer? Can I also go to a free workshop? Realistically, the repair needs should be kept within the first 2 years or? A Monday component can of course always be in there, but that should cover the warranty, I think. I would be for your Erfa I am very grateful to you and to you very much.
