The following is important to me: Optimal conditions in dryness Short braking distance Good curve behaviour Optimal grip Higher AB speeds incl curves If possible a low wear of the tyre Not so important…. the whole wetness behavior, as I am mainly on the road only in dryness. Placement of the test results in size 235/35 ZR19 (91Y) XL with rim protection edge: 1. Pirelli P Zero ca . 155-160 € 2. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 ca. 135-140 € 3. Hankoock Ventus S1 Evo 2 ca. 130 – 135 € 4. Michelin Pilot Super Sport ca. 180 -190 € Here everything was rated….! What would you take…… for my driving style/user profile? Am a little unwise, which is the right “punch” for the Cupra. In the past I actually only drove the Michelin Pilot Super Sport… on the M models, and was very satisfied with it (except for the constant saw tooth formation). be very pleased with reasonable opinions

Sensationally high price for maintenance?
Yesterday with my Xperience at the service, car 3 years old, 23300km. Oil change engine and Haldex gearbox, sliding roof cleaned and greased, headlight setting controlled (LED) and §57a verification. Last inspection a year ago, oil service 1.5 years ago. €757.- at Austria’s largest VWAG dealer. Sensational. And that with a manufacturer, in which almost every defect, or any complaint is just “state of the art”. Great: car rental for 7 hours free. Just the additional insurance €19.90. This shows customer friendliness. In other words: I never paid that much for German premium brands (and oil change/inspection here mostly 24 months or 30,000km interval)

Buying advice: 7-DSG? Which 1.4?
Good day, I’ve been thinking about buying a Seat Leon for a long time now. Now I found a Leon that I like and is also cheap: BJ: 2015 no FR KM: 22000km 1.4 TSI with 150hp and 7-speed DSG Equipment: – Full LED – Pano – Tempo – Navi (Unfortunately no full link function) – Seat Sound Should cost 15,500€ with winter tyres on aluminum. Now I have read here (and in other forums) that the 7-speed DSG should be slightly error-prone. Since this vehicle is no longer guaranteed h at (and can’t be expanded) I ask myself if it’s “sensuous” to buy a used one, even if it has only 20,000km down? It’s a dry DSG, why an oil change isn’t there anyway (should be relatively expensive). If I asked myself correctly, the Leons have a timing belt, however, says Seat that it doesn’t have to be changed? Are there any other maintenance/services that would soon be available?

Which used car check + tips I can pay attention to
Finally there was a Leon in my “circle” (only 1 hour) away, which meets my requirements. Namely he : https://www.au-ra.de/vehicle inventory/detailview/?orderId=052 Now I have made a viewing appointment and now I ask myself, because I do not have so much idea, where I can take the car to check through. The seller himself offers a DEKRA or TÜV report, but only if the car is not good (?). I don’t care, but I don’t care, because I want to have such a check and therefore I bear the costs myself. There are about 10-12 kilometers away, once the TÜV and the DEKRA, of course, both offer a check. And then there is probably still nearby this one here: http://branchenbuch.meinestadt.de/garrel/company/9141746. Is just a private car inspection center the TÜV do and according to the seller also look over over the car. Now I ask myself the question should I de At least the TÜV says how expensive the whole thing is 90€. Advantage of TÜV and DEKRA would be that they are “forward away” and I reach them by highway and thus I would have already completed my test drive, which would not be close to the private one. BTW: Otherwise any tips on what I can pay attention to when buying? Thanks for your help.

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. Greeting Seat Leon 1.4 TSI 125PS (about 155 hp) Year of construction 2011 Mileage 102000

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

Navi Update Seat Leon 5F 2017
Hi dear community, I have now read various threads for the Navi update but I am not going to be able to figure out how the exact procedure is. A point by point listing would certainly help. I added a few photos in the attachment, map material is, as it looks like, from 2017. What I also noticed, I have 2 SD Slots in the glove compartment but only on SD Slot 2 is a memory card. Does this have a reason ? Would you like to look at the photos, maybe you can help me. Maybe an update is only possible with me at the dealer? because I don’t know if I have Mapcare, because I bought the car only in September 23.
