what did you and your mk3 leon do today

[Sihey MK3 FR]

I've just had a pair of Pilot Super Sport 4s fitted, they are far superior to the terrible bridgestones! Highly recommend. They did damage my wheel fitting them though I will have to see if they do a good job repairing the chip.

Fitted the DTUK box to my 1.8 tsi and .....what a difference. Running on 3+2 at the moment but I will play around with it to see what suits. Well impressed so far though.

Can u give some specs?how much improvement on hp and torque?

VAG Familia

Andrew at DTUK lists it as 245Hp and 323lb/ft torque...and to be honest it feels right. The lad in the Type R Civic got the suprise of his life 2 nights ago anyway.....
Once I wised up and decided to preserve my licence he pulled along side and asked what the f**k was below the bonnet...
Job done then

Nowt, but yesterday we turned a pheasant into paste and ruined my windscreen. Feathery little sod.

Unless it is the latest one that's to be expected even without a tuning box.

Managed to install a dashcam and hardwired to the fuse box.

I did this a while ago but for some reason my camera doesn't seem to get enough power to keep it charged and after a few weeks starts making a warning beep sound for low battery. Either that or I never do long enough journeys to keep the battery charged!

 

[kiddo]

Sounds like the battery may be past its best. Can you swap / upgrade it? The one I installed only has a capacitor for power so wired to permanent live with voltage monitoring which will power down the camera if battery voltage drops below a predetermined value if camera in parking mode

It is only a few months old so either it's a dud battery or it needs more mah to charge. If I charge it out of the car it seems to last several hours so battery does hold a charge. My only other thought was I don't drive the car enough to keep it topped up. It does sit on the drive for a week or two at a time and then I'll do a few short runs.

I suspect changing the battery would be beyond my rudimentary soldering skills and I would make a right pigs ear of it!

Before installing the box I'd have been suprised if my 180hp Fr would have kept up with the last gen type r with 230hp let alone left him for dead....maybe that's just me. It was almost worth the cost just to see the look on his face.

 

[mardon]

The last Gen was 200BHP naturally aspirated engine with much less torque. My 190BHP Diesel Ibiza cupra left my friends FN2 with ease.

I haven't had the chance to see how my 1.8 TSi compares to my mate's MKII Type-R as yet but was amused when a Focus EcoBoost Black Edition tried to overtake me as we both joined an open stretch of dual carriageway earlier, made me even more pleased that I chose to purchase a Leon!

Although I opted for the DSG, so looks my tuning options are very limited should I someday feel the need for more speed... unless I'm feeling flush enough to splash out on a TMG performance DQ200 clutch!

I got a DNA remap yesterday in my 184 FR tdi. Now running 230bhp with 482nM . Dyno print out. Just need to change my tyres now, as I can't stop spinning. Budget tyres on the front when I bought the car last week.

What's a DNA remap?

Booked my 2014 in for its last service before the warranty expires in May.

Have asked them to have yet another look at the rattly passenger door and A pillar. They did this last year but it made no difference.

Due to a bad attack of lurg, followed by Xmas & New Year, actually got to drive my 1.8 FR for the first time in a few weeks! After a bit of a lay-off, struck by what a competent chassis this is, as I had a good zoom round the local ring road with its many roundabouts, in search of a new mobile phone.

So replaced my 12 year old Nokia with a (slightly) less out of date Sony and found the process of pairing it with the Leon quick and simple (as a confirmed tech dinosaur, first time I'd actually done it )
