150

Worrying knocking noise on my Cupra TDi 150 Over the past couple of days I've noticed a strange knocking type noise coming from where I think the gearbox and clutch are. It doesn't make the noise when under acceleration, only when coasting in any gear or stood at the lights when not in gear...

My Mk1 Leon 150 fr has recently developed a rattle, I first noticed this when accelerating in first and second gear. At times it was sounding a little rough almost like a tappet or pinking noises that you would get on a petrol car. However the noise developed into an accute rumble / knocking...

hi guys, just been looking on ebay tonight at these tuning boxes, some say 25+ bhp & some 38+ bhp. I`ve been reading on the forum & i know, they dont get a good report. Was thinking of buyin one has i`ve not got much spare cash at the mo for a proper remap, Would it do any harm if i was to just...

What are you experiences on this 'family rivalry'...like for instance a remaped Leon TDI150 vs (stock) Leon Cupra R..? I've only witnessed a friendly 'race' between a remaped Golf TDI150 (~190bhp) and a stock Audi TT FWD 1.8T 180bhp. Here's the vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=562FGSjMMUM

Just bought a 55 plate TDI 150.. Anything i should watch out for? Are there some regular little mods that everyone does?! Not wanting to go overboard but any advice you've got will be great!

Just wondering if any1 has fitted 1 of the golf anniversary turbos 2 their Ibiza. I have an FR TDI and I want to fit a bigger intercooler, uprate my clutch and get a bigger turbo before a remap. I can get 1 of these cheap but just wondering how good they will remap with the bigger intercooler.

Hi, considering getting a 150 BHP TDI Mark 1 Leon, whats the difference between the FR and the Cupra? Thanks

Just a few questions. I'm new to the forum. My brother's just about to buy the stated car above. It's an 04 plate with 59 on the clock. Just wondering when the timing belt needs to be done? He needs to ask the usual questions, service history, owners etc. Any other problems to worry about...

hi all just a quick question have a fr tdi 150 leon very happy apart from the body roll at speed in corners.. apart from fitting strut braces would putting stiffer springs on and perhaps lowering by 25 mm make a difference i am working on a restricted budget so cant afford to replace dampers as...

I picked up my Leon yesterday and as there was no user manual I have a couple of questions if anyone can help:- 1) When I drive off the central locking locks all the doors. Is this a fault or feature? Can I turn this feature off if it is a feature? 2) Where is the clock? I'm guessing I...

Hi all this is my first post so I apologise it is such a negative one to start with. I recently bought my first Leon - a 55 plate 150 FR TDI - really well taken care of year old minter from Available Car in Castle Donington near Derby. It had a few subtle mods - tinted rear windows, red...

Couple of pics I have taken tonight on my drive, nothing too impressive but thought I would post them up anyhow And a couple of daytime ones Opinions welcome

Guys, I've done a quick search, but not found the answer I need. I've a leon 150 tdi. I am looking for a downpipe. I will be getting a full milltek exhaust soon. I noticed they don't spec a downpipe for the leon, but they do for the 150 golf. The question is, will the golf one fit...

I'm new to this forum so you'll have to excuse me if this has been asked before. My wife has one of the last Mk1 Leon FR TDi's (FR+ ?), which we bought to replace a Golf TDi 130. With the Golf she was getting an average of anywhere between 48 - 53 mpg. The FR has now done 9000 miles, but is...

Howdu, 45k is upon us and its about time the fronts were changed. Does anyone know who sell them at a good price? ;) Just standard ones. I.E someone on here? what are the approximate costs? I'm not bothered for proper seat jobbers anyway. Looking to purchase, asap, so if anyone...

Hello everyone, As this is my first post here i'd like to say it's very nice to meet you all. The problem i have is a bit strange and i haven't found anyone with a similar issue so far. When the temperature drops, the car won't start when i turn the key. What happens exactly is this: i...

Anyone had any turbo problems with a Leon FR150. oil starvation, boost pipe leaks etc? Does anyone change their oil more frequently than 10k? I find that if I accelerate from low speed in 3rd/4th gear my turbo sounds a little but rough (gritty) between 2000-3000rpm. It sounds fine any of...

Hi, My cars just done 15k now & i need new front tyres! Is this about right for the miles i`ve done? What would you recommend? & what price am i looking at? cheers all.

Still looking for either of the above (in my price range). Was just wondering what were the actual difference between a Cupra 150 with Cupra R bodykit and an FR 150+? Sorry if this has been answered loads of time
