what have you done to your car today ?

[supa_sam]

Did you get a high/low kit or just low?

Only low beam, don't do much rural driving so don't really need them

Detailed it! Gleaming

Drained 3 inch of water out of the front passenger side footwell.

Also dryed my driver side footwells after my repair didn't work, took the door panel off and ran water over the window, found the water to be leaking in from one of the bolt holes. Sealed it up with wickes roof and gutter sealant (butyl rubber in a tube) and no more water on the door sills, happy days!

So its been an eventful day. Had the car booked in for an MOT in Basingstoke. Left the car with them in the morning and about an hour and a half later I get a call saying the car is too low to get into the test centre! They tried 2 different test centres and it wouldn't get in either! They couldn't raise it for me as both their ramps were taken up. So I ended up borrowing a jack and raised it myself!

After shitting myself for another hour I was actually looking into buying a polo after I thought the Leon would fail BUT I get the call saying its PASSED!! AND WITH NO ADVISORIES!!! So I'm rather happy now even if I am now at the standard ride height!

On the weekend I'm back up there to get the backbox removed and have an oval tip fitted at longlife

I get on the ramps but the jack doesn't slide along under the car so it never gets jacked up on mot. Always get advisory stating car is low, unable to test xxxx.

Did this last night! Dead happy other than I can't seem to secure the lower part of the centre console :/ I'll have a play around another day and find somewhere to re-locate the 12v socket

i had the leaking problem in my leon when purchased,

the fixes where to remove all old foam seal from the doors and install butyl.

put vaseline on door seals to improve water tightness.


take out foam seal in pollen filter tray and install butyl.

makesure the rear window washer jet pipe that runs in with the wiring loom behind the heater fan isnt

broken\fractured or disconnected, (mine was disconnected, but my leak was coming in through the
inner carrier seals and pollen filter. which is now fixed.

take out glove box and undo the 2 screws under the fan to drop the fan out and reveal if any water is in there to find out if this is the cause of your problem,

Coomon faults equal easy fixes if you have patience and a bit of knowledge although neither are required to acheive a water tight leon...

Busy indeed. I just ordered all leds to replace interior courtesy lights...

 

[diddles]

Replaced my cam cover gasket.

 

[Dougster]

Washed it and ascertained I need to do all 4 door seals and detailed my filler cap with JetSeal109 and some 50/50 paste wax.

 

[Rivva]

Replaced my MAF for a new genuine bosch one! How good does it feel to have a smooooth car!

Fuming... forget that last post, back to driving a kangaroo so thats the n75 and maf replaced and still its hesitating.. what now :/ only thing i can think of is a boost leak but if I had a boost leak how would fitting a new maf and resetting ecu via battery d/c make it disappear for half an hour? Really doing my head in now

I had something similar on my MR2 and the cambelt was out by a tooth, don't think that would be your problem though tbh.

I don't have a petrol, but could it be a coilpack?
