rain

Hello, I have the Convenience Pack but when it rains the windows do not close on their own. How can I activate it?

Bit of an odd topic for you all but given the recent downpours we've had I thought it'd make for a decent topic of discussion. Currently I've got Valeo Silencios fitted to my car, I fit them around January and was generally quite pleased with them, they make very little noise and haven't left...

Does yours look like this on your Cupra/FR Leon? http://crave.cnet.co.uk/cartech/0,250000513,49300925-5,00.htm Mine is behind the top tint that runs the full lenth of the screen. Not like the above??:confused:

Anyone else find rain drops leave ugly watermarks on the seats? Seat cleaner gets rid of them. Anyone know of any product that you can spray on to stop this happening so much?

OK the leon handles pretty well in the dry although a little light on the front with some understeer. In the rain its completely different. I have to pull away real slow or the traction control kicks in and goes mad to stop the wheels spinning and i get real bad understeer, even small bends...

Has anyone experienced poor MPG in the rain or am I going mad? I drove to work yesterday in my Cupra TDI in the dry and averaged 55+ mpg, this morning drove the same (but in rain) and did 10mpg less!! :shrug: Is this due to larger wheels to my 16" FS wheels or am I being a complete numpty and...

hello can any one with the rain sensor fitted let me know if you have rain sensing closure of windows e.g. when the sensor detects rain and the windows have been left open does yours close, i have tested mine with a glass of water over the sensor but doesnt do anything?

I posted in COrdoba section- but no one hardly in there so a link to my question! http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=234550

Hello, The car cut out on my yesterday right in the middle of town centre , this was after driving in very wet wether and I do recall going through a few large puddles. when i try to start the car the engine turns over but wont start, I have recently in the last few months replaced all...

Hi, I have rain sensitive wipers on my new Ibiza. hI had them on my Golf they controlled the intermittent delay, and also switched the wipers to fully on and high speed, depending on how much it was raining. On the Ibiza only the intermittent delay seems to be controlled, is this right? Ian

Right, bought my 51 plate Cupra about 2 weeks ago and yesterday was the first properly rainy day since then. Problem is that when I got home last night and parked up (with water in the car on the floor front and back by the passenger side doors) the alarm kept going off randomly. In the end I...

lastnight was out driving in the heavy rain and all of a sudden it started running on 3 cylinders misfiring like a pig. Luckily managed to get home and swap it with the leon, I know they were made in spain where theyr aint much rain but this is the second problem with it now because of missing...

hello gents, i have a question which i keep asking to verious VW garages about the rain sensing wipers only to get flipped of with some story about the 1M being built with parts from audi and vw part bins. question - can you deactivate the damm rain sensing wipers as they are Pain. some of...

Coming home tonight & had the wipers on constant. I noticed that when I was in traffic the wipers revert to intermittent. I thought I was going mad when they stopped!:D It's not the full blown auto rain sensors, but it's a nice little touch.

Hi, i've just fitted the VW Aero Conversion wipers for my Leon, great product; I can actually see in the rain! However I've noticed during the recent spout of rain that the passenger side aero wiper doesn't make contact with the windscreen at the edge (towards the doors). The consequence of...

Has anyone used anything like RainX on their mk2 Leon with any effect. The water just seems to sit on the glass and I can't get it to bead/sheet off. I've used clay, glass cleaners, Zymol HD cleanse, Duragloss rain-repel spray. I've not actually tried RainX as I don't really like the product...

Hi there, I've had my new Black Magic Leon for a couple of weeks now. I love the car, but whenever it rains, I'm left with horrible dirty spots all over the car. I know this unavoidable to a certain extent, but none of the black cars in the same car park seem to end up as dirty. Any ideas on...

Not a happy bunny, got to within about 5 miles of my house coming home from work, after seeing half of Yorkshire to avoid the flood, ran into the back of a bloody coach! [:@] Only had the car about 8 weeks and it's my pride n joy, gutted! :cry: Need:- New bonnet, if I can get the current...

I have an '06 (June) 2.0 TDi Sport. I cannot remember if this happens for both rear doors, but when I open the offside rear door after it has rained or I have washed it I get what seems like a lot of water coming from the bottom of the door. I have read up on the "wetwindows" thing, but I...

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...
