  • Leon Cupra 300 technical question

    Hello municipality, I am a proud owner of a Cupra 300 with the CJX engine for a short time. In the past days I have looked a little closer in the engine room, because I am very interested in technology. Now I noticed on the air filter box a thin hose, which runs off there. I have not had such a thing at any car that I had so far. I guess this tube takes off some underpressure there or something like that. Is here in the forum maybe someone representing me the sense and the radio From older cars one knows of vacuum connections e.g. from the ignition distributor for the vacuum box at the distributor. But what does this connection to the air filter box have for a function?? Thank you in advance Greetings Bernd

  • Which paint is most likely to forgive paint damage

    After I decided today (hopefully final) for a new car, I have free color selection. Nevada-Weiss and Mystery Blue are in the narrow selection. Has someone the owner experience with smaller stone strokes on the hood, how much you can see them with white and blue. Am highway driver jnd no matter how much you pay attention, they will not fail. With the gray Leon it almost did not notice, with the red Honda Civic it was catastrophic. is more noticeable and visible than in Weiss.

  • Purchase advice: Seat Leon ST FR 150 or 180 HP?

    Hello, I’m driving an Audi A3 year 2008 2.0 TDI with 140 hp. Wants to buy me a year-round ride. It’s supposed to be a Seat Leon ST FR (petrols). Ask me only if 150 hp is enough? It’s a financial story. It’s enough for me if the Seat has the power of my current Audi. I can’t judge that (weight, engine, etc.). Can you help me here? I’m going to compare it with my current A3. Thank you!

  • Seat Leon 2.0tdi 150ps new or used? Some questions

    Hello guys, my old car is now more of a construction site. That’s why I want to get rid of it quickly for a 1000s. So I created the new Seat Leon FR 5-door, which makes a solid impression for me and seems to be quite good in the area of “price performance”. My goal is generally to finance the car 3-4 years, then to drive still 3 years (10 years and 200t km should already create today’s vehicles). That’s why I tend more to the diesel. I drive so about 1 5-20t km a year. Euro6 should the Diesel Leons all have? Question 1: Is there a number for the tdi from which year of construction one can easily buy. I assume that the first Leons from 2013 should still have some standard problems, which were improved in the course of the years? Engine etc. Question 2: Did the Leon Diesel all Euro6? I have read some different things on the Internet. However, do not want a Euro5 car anymore due to the problems with diesel tax/A bgaskram etc. Question3: If I see it this way you get the Facelift with full equipment for 22000 Euro. Well equipped used from 2014 but also for hardly less than 15-16000. Do you think it is worth taking the risks at all for the used or would be a new, as first owner with 3year guarantee not the better alternative in terms of durability and possible resale price (+ anyway 3 years no problems due to the warranty)

  • Buy Leon with 115 or 125 hp?

    Hello, I don’t know if my question is right here in the long thread…. I decided to use a leon (fuel), but I still waver strongly whether it should be the small economical engine with 115 hp or the 1.4 engine with 125 hp. Is there any better experience here? I tend to the 115 hp because I think that the consumption is super low and I think that the resale value (in 4-5 years) will probably be higher, since the economical engines will somehow be at the forefront rsch are… the question is whether there are problems with these engines. Priced are both quite the same, if I add all the extras I want… Answer would be super helpful and many thanks in advance… lg danillal

  • Purchase advice Seat Leon 1.4 TSI DSG Blackline

    Hello together, after many comparisons and offers I have now focused on the following Seat Leonhttps://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeug/details.html?id=247462072 find the black-line package would be very appealing in this case DSG – I have already heard a negative about DSG.

  • Seat Leon Cupra, brake, regulation

    Hello, now that I’m waiting for the delivery of the Seat Leon Cupra 300, I read articles on the Cupra models 280/290/300. I read the article “Compact Sportsman” from Autobild 2017/30 and yesterday someone said to me that the brakes on the Audi TT-RS would have failed miserably, but that wasn’t without problems either. I still have an article here and it says: “With a hot system, one of the front wheels occasionally blocks, which brings trouble into driving behaviour”. Auto Bild Sportscars 2016/6 was noted at the Seat Cupra 290: “On a flat track, the Seat brake is hugely delayed. If it gets wavy, the ABS is pretty out of step.” Does this have something to do with it?http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/…/…paktsportwagen-11630880.html Excerpt: “ABS problem solved? … Apparently, however, the error is now in the system, more precisely in a software module. The corresponding update is being tested and is going into series production per model year 2018. This is something else, isn’t it?http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/news/vw-rueckrufe-696612.html There’s nothing from Seat either. And then I wonder if the bigger brake and semi-slick tires from the Performance Kit also come another control at EPS/ABS? With standard brake system behave “quietly” or rather worse, because the brake disc gets warmer? Questions about questions… 🙂

  • Leon 1M door rear left neither from inside nor outside to open.

    Hello, I have a problem and I can’t open my rear left door anymore. when I open the central opening it doesn’t make any noise at this door anymore you just don’t hear anything. And when you pull the lever from the inside you also notice a resistance that makes me think that the locking is still closed. Now my question and that’s how I get the lining off from the inside ? or do I get difficulties there ? And then how do I go on ? how do I get the lock now? on ? Do I have an appointment at a workshop just afraid to come up with the high cost?!!!!!!! and wanted to see if I could not get it myself. what could be the mistake ? lock broken ? cable break ? or the engine from the central lock??? Thanks already in advance

  • Discount in case of transport damage ?

    Hello, now I have been waiting for 5 months for my new Leon ST and even after 3 months I have had to decide for a new color because mine has been rationalized. Now he is at the dealer and I can pick him up next Friday. But at the same time with the good news that he is finally there, the seller informed me that my car has a transport damage on the rear bumper and they have to exchange it. Now is my question whether I have a claim to a discount?

  • Raindrops on door panel after opening the door?

    Hello, is that also so with your Leon ST after a rain, when you open the door a few thick drops fall on the door panel and seats? Did I actually never notice that with other cars. It just looks modest when the drops dry at the door panel and then remain stains. M.f.G. bierschi007
