170

Is there any chance of SEAT making this ? the 170 + DSG box is already in the Passat, Golf, A3 but why not in the Leon ? dies anyone think it will ever happen? if not has anyone retro fitted the flappy paddle wheel to the 140 version ?

Should be a quick question. I'm looking to change my car over the next few months. I was looking at the new leon yesterday. Am I right in thinking that the 2.0l tdi 170ps only comes in the FR model and is only 140ps in the other models?

I have owned three PD TDI driven cars over the past few years my first was my Seat Cordoba SE PD 130 a VW BORA TDI 150 SPORT and my current beast the Seat Leon FR TDI 170. Now upon the discovery of the PD box, which to those who don't already know is an analog resistor sat in a box that...

Just fitted my Tunit this morning and wow it has made it a different car, pulls really well through the gears and revs longer, been out for a quick spin and it scared me a few times.....going to try and get down to awesome-gti by the end of next week to get it RR'd.

Hello all. Time has come to change my lovely140 TDi Sport. Seriously thinking of an 170 TDi Altea XL with a sports pack. Question, has anyone already made this change on the Altea and if so what do you think, is the extra 30 bhp worth the money.

after having it done on friday overall very pleased in gear acceleration is unbelieveable! from 40 to 80 in forth is unreall :D. had a few niggles on saturday with it hesatating under acceleration have spoken to superchips who instantly asked could i take it up to their HQ and stick it on their...

OK so I understand that currently, the tuning options for the 2.0 170 TDI are limited due to problems with the DPF. It's been suggested in another thread that a couple of tuners are looking at replacement DPFs to get round the problem. If the DPF problem were solved - are there any other...

Hello, I'm new on here and have just bought an 06 plate FR TDI (170), Its not a bad looking motor in Black magic, the bodykit and the 18" wheels, its pretty nippy but was wondering how much extra HP I would get if I had the chip re-mapped? Would it invalidate my warranty and would I need to...

Hi guys/girls.. Black V5 170 (standard) - I used to have a FIAT Coupe 20v before we had our daughter, and that forum is very active indeed - this one doesn't seem so (toledo section, that is) - or has it just been slow of late? Cheers Aaz

Hi, I'm a newbie to this forum. I recently bought this car and its fabulous apart from a notchy gearchange from 2nd to 3rd. Its just not smooth and means rapid gear changes aren't possible.. Has anyone else had this problem? If so how did you get it fixed? Cheers, Ram

There were some chaps that had their Leon FR tdi's REMapped but had to return to std. Believe one was Superchips and the other was in Scotland. What progress/outcome with these remaps, cos most tuners are having problems with this DPF system

Can anyone confirm that the rain sensor on an 03 plate 2.3 V5 (170bhp) Toldeo is standard. I am having an argumnet with Autoglass who tell me that the rain sensor is not standard, but I thought it was a standard item. The issue is that two weeks ago I made an appointment to have my...

Came across this page today while doing some searching, and found a company that will map the TDI 170 to 210BHP and 325lb-ft torque. Something for the UK tuners to aim for and if it's possible overseas already, it should be possible here soon...

Hi all, went out in the FR today 30 mile round trip every thing OK, went out tonite started up as usual, per pre heating, waited for the lights to go out, all lights went out except the pre heating light which started to flash on/off continously:wtf: . I stopped the car and re started it...

Is there a tuning box for the FR TDI available yet? there is one for the 140 BHP TDI engine but I can't find any info for the 170...... Any help would be great! Paul

Hi guys - thought I'd canvess some opinions on this one. I work for a car leasing company and get a sizeable discount on the cars when they come back in after the leasing contract has finished and end up on our forecourt. Well..... I've had my T-reg v5 for nearly 2 years now and have been...

I'm interested to know whether the TDI FR will perform better after a few thousand miles if the driver thrashes it from day one, foot to the boards etc. I've heard that thrashed turbo diesel cars are more responsive if they've been hammered? Is this an old wives tale or absolutely true...

213bhp - 310lb/ft - 12 month warranty- £400 (with 10% discount) Whats the catch? I wonder what Revo's figure will come out as. Seems very tempting and will scare a few Cupra R owners What are everyones thoughts ?

Any issues ? I remember when it came out on the Golf there were a few concerns, just wondering if anybodies heard anymore. Having Driven an R32 with DSG & as my commute tends to be a 35mile crawl, DSG could be the best of both worlds for me ?
