what did you and your mk3 leon do today
- Thread starter seatleon2012
- Start date
So today I got a red flash screen with “LOW COOLANT” pop up. Bit concerning considering my old GTD had coolant issues..
No drip puddles etc. Haven’t digged around properly, anyone know if coolant has UV light sensor bits in it anymore?
Hoping that it’s an airlock, gone to the pub to let the car cool and unscrew the cap... fingers crossed!

Picked my new FR Black up from Lookers Stockport...got it dirty...cleaned it
Check the level and top it up, these cars a re notorius for having air locks even from factory. Has exact same thing driving down through franc, panicked as thought it would be the dreaded water pump as I was on 10k miles from new. Topped it up when I got to my destination (thankfully I'd done 95% of the 1,000 mile drive). Then it never used any after that. Done 17k now.
Yesterday really...
So massive thanks again to the gents at VAG Manchester and Progressive Parts. Those people following my build thread know my car was under power at the Dyno day, so the car is visiting RacingLine in just over a week. So just to annoy me it pinged for a service.
They don’t normally do services at a weekend, but due to some other projects, @PP Mark agreed to fit me in and at short notice too. So got the Haldex done as well. Filter was not bad after 17k, considering other photos I’ve seen:
Thanks to also to @PP Gareth for the entertainment, and Tom for all the hard work on the car!

Excuse my ignorance, but what's the picture of?
What is a typical cost for the Haldex service and at what mileage should it be done? Thanks in advance.
Fitted ambient lighting below air con panel and above rear USBs in centre console....
I asked the same question last time
I tried. The recommendation I got, which I used this time, was wire wool (to get most of the carbon deposits off) and autosol to polish.

It is, and dealers say they don’t need doing. Tuners say around 10k. I’ve seen pictures of ones a right mess, but the mechanic Tom thought I’d had it done at it last Service it was that clean. (It’s done 17k without being done)
This is why I was hopeful it was just an airlock! Local SEAT garage topped up for free, technician said should just be factory airlock but keep eye on it.
wow, that's a nice little touch. Where did you get the lights from and where did you connect them?
I used these.....

but I would think any 12V LED would do. I ran cables to the left and right footwell lights to get the supply and the earth behind the panels at the ends of the dash. By getting supply from the footwell lights means that these dim with them.
Some cars have the one under the air con panel, but I couldn't find any part numbers
Only got my Leon last month, no mods as yet but one repair - sticking the rear reversing sensors back into the bumper.
