what did you and your mk3 leon do today

[ToroNegro]

Intended to wash her properly before fitting the rest of my LED's and a mess with VCDS. Weather disagreed with me doing this though.

So quick snowfoam and pressure wash it was. Also come to the conclusion that the roof rails being satin silver and the other trim being chrome annoys me. So going to enquire about colour coding the roof rails and im probably going to wrap my grill trim.

Snow Foamed, Washed, Rised, Dried, 'Cheat sealed' with DJ red mist....

Scratch that, it dried up in the end so LED rear indicators, reverse light and rear fog it is

Will hopefully fit the front ones tomorrow too. Might even tint them if i can be bothered.

Fitted my LED fog-lights. Found one of the supplied wires is knackered though so had to request another off the seller.

However can say these beauties are seriously bright.

Can also say the left side fog is a serious pain to get to!

Those are some massive heat sinks! Sounds wicked though.

Had it serviced, had the settings that kept resetting themselves fixed and had my dodgy sun visor light on the drivers side fixed.

Suicida1 Zombie - what was the problem with your driver's sun visor light? - did it not light at all, or was there an intermittent fault?

I spoke too soon. The fault wasn't fixed and I am waiting for a new visor to arrive at the dealers so mine can be replaced.

The fault is that when you pull the visor down even though the mirror cover is shut as far as it will go the light stay illuminated. The guy on the service desk mentioned a woke mate had the same problem on his 13 plate car but was never able to fix it. He said the only known fix is to replace the whole visor as its the connection that is inside the visor itself that is dodgy...

Has anyone figured out the wing mirror drop when reversing? Mine worked and then stopped. It's just annoying me now because I know it should work but it doesn't.

I take it you leave the joy stick on L then put in reverse the mirrow should then drop.. if not when it is on L and you put it in reverse adjust the mirrow to how you want it then when you drive off after you hit about 10mph the mirrow should go back to normal??

 

[daz990]

I'll give that a bash.

Well chaps, by Leon and I drove to work and home, a total of 78 miles each day. He has now done 700 miles since new and averaged about 50mpg. He has consumed 1/2 a litre of oil.
Tonight I fixed a rattling pen in my centre armrest by making a paper template and then cutting a small rectangle from an old thin car mat which I then blue tacked to the inside of the console.

At the weekend I shall likewise line my glove box and my driver under-seat storage box. I hate rattles

Mrs Aardvark will be getting a healthy dose of blue tack under her dentures as well

Installed my new DTUK box and grinned like a loon!
