  • Chassis FR vs. Chassis GTI – who knows both?

    Hello together, after I travel by car more often than planned lately, and my Yaris Hybrid is slowly coming to its luggage limits, I am looking for a combo. Current favourite is the Leon ST. Now I am faced with the difficult decision whether to get the Connect special model or the FR. Visually I like the FR better (remembers my beloved GTI VI), and the 150 hp engine with cylinder shutdown seems to be in the press as well as in F This is why my question: Does anyone have a comparison between the sports suspension of the (ST) FR and that of the GTI, and can tell me if the two are comparable or yet noticeably different? Ideally, the car should soon become a family coach, so I don’t need anything hard to handle… Should the car be a good way to get there. move it FR at GTI level in terms of driving comfort, then I would have no doubts, at that time I was very satisfied. Nicely tight, but not unpleasant. Unfortunately there is no dealer with registered FR in the immediate vicinity…I am therefore first dependent on external opinions 😉 Thanks already! Markus

  • Update Media System Plus

    Moin Together, I have some difficulty with my voice quality via Bluetooth. That’s why I wanted to update my radio a little bit in order to get a newer version. However, I have to admit that despite intensive research, I can’t find out whether my device is up-to-date or not. I searched through all the SEAT instructions and normally my device would have to be up-to-date. Vehicle is from February this year, so no I have once attached a photo of the system parameters. Here I can not even filter out whether I have/need software D250 or D260 or whatever. Nor can I find out if I can drive an update for the Navi… Normally I don’t do that so hard. Would be very grateful for a little help!

  • Diesel particles lamp

    Good morning, After I’ve already read several posts here in the forum and have already tried everything, since you my last possibility. To make it short, I drive a Seat Leon 1p Mkb bmn. I had my diesel particle filter removed and cleaned two weeks ago. The free workshop told me that the filling level was about 19% and they changed it in the control unit. After that the lamp was of course gone. Exactly a week later the lamp went again a Then I switched the differential pressure sensor on suspicion and learned with 5x from and on. After that there was rest again. See there a week later zack, again the lamp is there? The car makes me despair. Have 185tkm and when the gas is taken the gas sometimes spontaneously goes away. It turns in the stand gas almost 1000 revolution. Sometimes I take the noise that sounds like milk foaming. Error memory is read out today at noon. For help I am grateful

  • Seat Leon ST -> which motorization? (Ecomotive or 2.0 TDI)

    Hello, I have now decided to buy a Seat Leon ST. Currently I get more than 29% discount on the list price – I almost have to hit it. However, I fluctuate a little regarding the motorization. So far (due to the low consumption / maintenance costs) I have thought about the 1.6 TDI Ecomotive. Something is pushing me to the 2.0 TDI. (You can also find so little information about the 1.6 TDI Ecomotive). Which motorization would you choose and why?

  • Leon Cupra 280: Hitting while accelerating

    Moin together! Have a Cupra 280 since the beginning of the year. After the drive-in time is now over I wanted to give a little bit more “gas” now. The following problem has occurred: Every time I accelerate from the stand more strongly, so that the wheels would spin off, such a blow or also banging occurs, sounds really bad. Especially in wet weather this is even worse – probably because the wheels have less adhesion… Except for this problem, the car runs inw I’m going to go to the Seat dealer, just wanted to know if someone had something like that before. Maybe that’s normal too – but somehow I can’t imagine… By the way, I usually drive in comfort mode, if all this could have to do with this front axle lock… Thanks for the help!

  • Cupra 280 5F Wheel Question

    Hello together, now that I can finally pick up my sweetheart on Friday, the rim purchase is also threateningly close. I plan to drive the series rims in winter and get something nice new for the summer. My wish rim (ATS Crosslight) would be 8,5J x 19 ET43. Can someone please help me to find out if I get the rims with the serial tire 235/35 19 and not grinds anything afterwards? I’m already looking for my fingers sore, but somehow come no further. ET45 seems to fit without problems and without any rework, but what it looks like with ET43, I find nowhere. Thank you very much for your support!

  • Differences Seat Leon vs Seat Leon Kombi

    Good afternoon friends/professionals! I would like to ask you about the differences between the Seat Leon Style 5F (my) and the Seat Leon ST/Kombi. Since I want to buy a bigger car > 2. Child + bigger trunk. I have now written the technical data together. Mine: L: 4282 // B: 1816 – 1975 // H: 1459 // Turning circle: 10,3m // GR: 380 – 1210 l Combi: L: 4549 // B: 1816 – 1975 // H: 1454 // Turning circle: 10,3m // GR: 587 – 1470 l Is however for example on de r Back seat with the combo more space? e.g. legroom and seat width etc … I’ve also looked at other Kombi’s / Suv’s / Van’s …. but I’m actually very happy with the Fzg (+ think it’s optically great). Thank you. VG

  • Too fast over brake threshold

    In front of the hotel there is a huge parking lot. There were brake sleepers installed during the day some time ago, without which this was announced or indicated with signs. The brake sleepers are black and have the same color as the roadway. When I drove back to the parking lot in the evening, I ran over the almost invisible threshold at about 40 km/h. The bang was huge loud and the windscreen wiper was activated. But I can’t see any damage to the car and it’s also “normal”. Nevertheless, I’m kind of worried that the car might have been damaged. How do you see it? Can I check something myself? Or am I worried about something?
