Good afternoon, I have a Leon 1.6 TDI, EZ: 6/14 mileage: 122,000 km In July the remaining rate of 5350€ is due. In the certificated return right the fixed buyback price stands at 5350 € at max. 151,305 km. Each kilometer less gives 4.05 cents plus the buyback amount. So, now the good unfortunately in the paint of the entrance areas has 3 scratches, which are not large (about 3cm long) but for a layman like me a little deeper than just superficial. Unfortunately, since July 19 we have been sitting on a Seat Ibiza SC 1.4 Style4you EZ: 7/14 with 47,000km, which can not be sold privately (that had/has not had familial so nice reasons) Why is it a mystery to me, by the way, because it is perfectly maintained, fully driving without defects with new TÜV, HU etc… Well, the fact is that no one had any serious interest so far and therefore I will take the right of return for the Leon and drive the Ibiza. Now my question, I should the scratch he has my trust made directly at the ywerkstatt or first introduce the car to the Seat car dealership as stipulated in the contract and let me know what I actually get for it? Sorry for the lot of blablabla. Is unfortunately a bit complicated and I don’t want to give my Leon any value or put it on it.

Hello together, a good week ago I bought a Seat Leon with first registration 1/20 from a car dealer with good rating. According to Verkaeufer, the car was registered briefly in Spain, but had only 8 km on the speedo during the visit here in Germany. The registration process was unfortunately incredibly long. The car authority needed with me – purchase receipt – hint where the old signs (from Spain) are located – vehicle identification I kuerze it a bit ab – natuerli I made several phone calls with the dealer, insurance and the authority. An employee of the Dekra made the identification. However, the authority said that the car was already registered as a rental car in Spain. I said that I bought the car as an EU new car and how that could be. I was told that this could be yes, but I get only one year of Tüv instead of 3 (or even 4 as with the new car now). Anyway, I can now immediately get at the beginning to the Dekra, to catch up with the Tüv. Then I have the three years, but still I am surprised. I will pass on the costs to the Haendler. How can such a thing be with a new car? He smells completely new, has now 200 km and still had the protective foil on the display. I’m just a little unsure. Thanks!

Hello guys, I have now searched through the forum but found nothing of the same. Therefore I open a single subject for the topic. I booked Mapcare to my Leon with Navi plus. Now my Leon has already 2 years on the clock and I thought it is time for a map update. So after Seat guide I started the download via navigation.com Here the link to download: (http://www.navigation.com/…/…uEaBhRJZDJlQoTMQkPDqdp8m_ykhr1T_N?…) Link to the Anle itung:http://www.navigation.com/…/…uEaBhRJZDJlQoTMQkPDqdp8m_ykhr1T_N?… The file is about 24 GB large, accordingly the download lasts (at 16mbit). After the download was completed, I unpacked the data to the recommended SD card (SD HC Class 10 32 GB) previously formatted in FAT32. After the SD card has been loaded with the files, I am going to the car to start the installation. If I plug the SD card into SD Slot1 or 2, a hint appears, meaning “Nav However, the update cannot be updated via the update function of the navigation menu. It makes the appearance as if the data is not found, it searches, searches and generates an error message after about 3-5 minutes. This says that the source or data is not correct … Have already tried two SD cards, adjusted the order structures, set card to lock or unlock, everything without success. The SD cards work each with an adapter. Could it be because of that? I hope you can help me…I am at a loss =/ PS: In the appendix you will find my current data from the Navi …

Hello, yesterday I postponed the service message and set the service interval anew, because my Seat Leon ST 5F (1.2TSi) wanted to be a service for about a month – which is not possible due to Corona. After every time I started the message I switched it back to the mind yesterday with the Ancel VD500 and set the interval anew. Today I had the subjective feeling that the vehicle is going better again. It accelerates with the 5th again quickly and where I used to drive with the 3rd one, is there the 4th one? Is there that the MSTG is programmed in such a way that when the service message is exceeded, a kind of “emergency program” runs out and the performance is throttled? If yes, that would be a “souring”.

Hello together! I think about repainting the summer rims on my 1M (silver on black I find too boring).The following designs have made it into the final selection: – dark anthracite (matt) – black spokes with silver edges (there would be the question whether matt or shiny resp. chrome edges) – black spokes (also here: matt or shiny?) with red edge Unfortunately I could not find a corresponding configurator so far. What would you recommend? What are No-Gos, d he should be observed? I might think that e.g. anthracite with red edge would be too much? LG

Moin together, I am currently searching for rims for my Seat Leon ST (2.0 TDI 184 PS FR in black) and am unsure if I should also get black rims. Does anyone from you have the combination and can send a photo? I would also appreciate your opinions on the black rims. Greetings

Hello, have the Leon 1.4 TSI FR (5F) since June 2016. Now the first winter rims+tires are available. Can I, as soon as the tire dealers have raised them, go into the on-board computer and store them somewhere under vehicle data, that the current tyre circumference/pressure etc. should be the NEW reference value for tyre pressure control? Or how do I do this?

Yesterday I ordered a Seat Leon FR ST DSG with many toys but without leather for my wife. I was also offered the normal Leon FR from the showroom also super equipped engine only as a switch, however, with fullheather. Now the agony of the choice Audi A5 Cabrio (somewhat dissatisfied) is kept or just 2 new Leon in front of the door. Below on the pictures are the 2. I would be interested in the satisfaction of the above model DSG like switches, how are the Paints, the leather is good or vulnerable, what there are for serious flaws. Would I be pleased about experience values to facelift….

Hello together, I’m looking for a big roof box (500l +) with 75kg charge for our Leon. There are numerous suppliers. Prices vary extremely. I get a box for 250€, but I can also pay 800 for it. Do you have experience with the individual price classes? What do they differ from each other? We only need the roof box 2-3 times a year, so no continuous operation. Thank you for your answers.

Since March we have a Leon ST FR 1.8l, the first months were great, but since the late summer the air conditioning smells really bad like electrosmog. Car was already twice to disinfect in the workshop, brought nothing at all: the smell was right after disinfecting again. As soon as the car is standing 30min or so it smells really strong at the beginning, after a few minutes it gets better. If it has stood longer it takes much longer until the smell is (almost) gone, a basic sound of stench is always in the air. Today after my wife left was a water puddle from the condensation water under the car (car was standing 1 day unmoved), the same stunk as what comes in from the ventilation. I always thought condensation does not smell at all… On the weekend I also noticed that coolant is missing and some liquid is collecting under the coolant tank. I then replenished (was 2cm under min) and removed all stains in the engine compartment. Ewish, since then you don’t actually see a bigger loss, but it drips a bit on the spot again, but where can I not find it. Does anyone have an idea what that might be? The smell from the climate comes when you just turn on the ignition, engine doesn’t have to run. Could there be a connection with the coolant loss? I always thought these are separate systems. Main concern at the moment: it’s the vehicle from the mommy and junior (2 years), what can smell there how not to be healthy. Maybe I imagine it, but I myself get headache from the smell. As an appendix an image of the re-forming stain, at the weld one sees the damp spot.
