Hello Guys i hope you all doing well. I have a 2016 Seat leon FR+ MK3 specifically the 2.0 TDI 150hp DSG6 (110KW TDI CR) (engine code CRMB). The engine start pulsing on idle only after the car warms up (not noticeable on RPM meter but you can defenetly hear it and feel it when you pay attention...

Hi All, Recently picked up a 2016 SEAT Leon 1.6 Diesel and noticed a ticking noise coming from the engine on the drivers side. First time driving a SEAT and my initial worry is the timing belt and more specifically the tensioner. I have a 12 month warranty from an independent dealer but...

Hello all, so my little project is coming along nicely, there’s been some hiccups but we’ve gone from taxi to slightly faster taxi in just a couple of months. the next step is to swap out the baby alh90 turbo with one out of a pd150 (I’ve read a few guides on the turbo upgrade so we should be...

Hello all! After scrolling through countless threads and cars, I’m finally going for my first Seat! (A Leon FR 184 TDi). I’m just hoping someone may be able to help with a few things. I’ve read through some posts but given some are dated I wanted to see if on anything have changed! The car is...

Hi all, I need some help. I have a Leon Fr 2014 184 Diesel. The issue I am facing is that my car alerts me to check the oil level (via YELLOW WARNING TRIANGLE) every month. The time period between each time I get an alert is like 25 - 32 days (sometimes 35). And every time I check the oil...

As my car has got older (last 2 years especially) the exhaust smell is pretty noxious. Passing mot fine. May be normal for a diesel just seems like it is worse now it is old. No smoke. Any ideas/ similar experience? thanks

Has anyone been using the v power diesel in their Leon and noticed a difference? Used to use supermarket diesel with a shot of redex diesel in every tank, have changed to shell standard diesel with a shot of Millers ecomax diesel additive - which has definitely helped. MPG is about +5 more than...

I'll be posting up a few details soon on how I recently faired with installing an S3 (8P) intercooler to my 2005 Seat Leon Fr PD150. Having had an almost identical car in the past and forked out over £500 for a darkside developments modified one I wanted to see really how difficult it was to...

Over the past few days I’ve noticed a drop in mpg on my 2.0 TDI (150ps) Leon, by about 10-15 mpg at some points. Motorway driving has gone from about 65/68 mpg to about 55/60 and town driving has gone from about 55 to 45 and as low as 30 at some points. The engine feels absolutely fine, still...

Hi, Was wondering if anyone has driven both of these FR petrol and diesel models? How do they compare? They both have very similar 0-60s on paper even though the diesel has 34 more BHP and a lot more torque which confused me a little.

Hi Guys, I am currently ordering bits to service my Leon 5f 1.6tdi, but I stumbled on something here with the Fuel Filters... It seems they come in 2 different sizes? The outer diameters seem to be quite different, one being 77mm and the other 93mm and my question is, can I check which filter I...

I'm thinking of getting my Mk3 Leon FR remapped (2.0 TDI 150PS) When looking online (apart from a custom remap) the main two companies I can find are Revo and TDI tuning, the main difference between the two being the revo map is a remap of my ECU, and the TDI tuning being a tuning box that...

Hi all, I have a 62 plate 1.6 TDI Ibiza CR 105bhp. The stupid DPF light came on two days ago so I haven't driven it since. Today I took it for approx 90 minutes of driving on the motorway driving at 60mph in 4th gear at around 2300rpm. After 45 minutes it still hadn't cleared, and I was well out...

Hi all, Apologies if there are similar threads ongoing, I'm a newbie and I can't figure out how to search this forum for thread topics. My July 09 registered S.I 1.4 Diesel car is playing me up. Various issues as below: Glow plug flashing Emission control system light flashing Battery...

Hi guys I posted this earlier but think it was in the wrong place. 2008 leon fr tdi 2.0 170bhp Using a lot of oil (1 litre every 300 miles average) blue smoke pumping out of the back of it lazy start up, lumpy idle and no power now at all. Started about 3 months ago blue smoke coming out of...

I'm having some issues with my 1.9tdi 2010 Leon. It has started cutting out when the throttle is shut and the car slowing down. It won't re start until the fuel system is bled (removing return pipe from HP pump to filter) or as the RAC guy did, spraying easy start into the inlet. I've replaced...

Recently purchased a Leon, I’ve wanted a project car for a long time and the Leon has the right mix of practicality and looks. Bought as stock, idea was to invest in an unmodified car initially and build it up over time. Car has full service history, 112k miles, no major issues. Paid £2050 after...

HI there. I have recently bought a 2013 Seat Leon 1.6 TDI SE with around 68000 on the clock. I have just started noticing that every now and again when i'm driving there is a grittiness feel to the clutch when I depress and release it. I wouldn't say there is a vibration or noticeable noise. Any...
