Hi all New to the forum. Having recently bought an Altea 1.9TDI reference sport (56), I have now decided that I may want a trip computer installed after all to keep an eye on mpg etc . Does anyone know if this is realistic? or will it be ridiculously expensive? Cheers for any info...

Hi guys, In talks now with a guy on here called Jon who I've just got my Milltek exhaust from about buying his Bi-Xenons and he says the washers will also be available, have seen somewhere that the mounts are already there but what about the wiring and getting fluid to them? easy or not...

Ok, before I start, I've read the countless debates on the legality of retro fitted xenon headlights to a car that hasn't got washers or auto levellers. Please don't turn this thread into one of those "debates". :p These two features can be & will be fitted at a later date. Right then...

I asked 5 different stealers today and no one could answer me. Im sure you lot can though :D I really want sat nav fitted in my FR. Can the new media pack be retro fitted? I had the 510 in my K1 and used it all day every day!!! Not sure I can handle a tom tom now! Thanks in advance

Been thinking for a while now about getting some late Mk4 Golf wiper arms to put on my LCR so l could upgrade to the aero baldes instead of the :censored: standard ones but after speaking to a couple of top blokes (cheers Darren and Phil) at my local GSF this morning, l've just managed to buy a...

Just had a very frustrating afternoon re retrofitting cruise to my Leon Mk 2 2006 tdi reference. Just to recap, my Leon is one of the base models with the low line display and no MFD (trip computer) The steering controller fitted was a 'AE' type, and according to the ross WIKI does not support...

Well i decided to take the plunge and go for it. Yes it was expensive but i plan on keeping the car for a while so i dont mind the cost. Its not fully finished as ive not installed the wire for the Bi-Xenon yet but thats the easy part when i get round to it. I couldnt of done this install...

Question to all those that have retro fitted a Seat armrest into their Leon. Did you find that once fitted the rear ashtray would not open, as it was catching on the bolt used to tighten up the armrest onto the mounting frame (that bolts to the chassis). Everything went in fine, and the...

As per the title really, how easy is this, has anyone done it? I have an 06 altea with the electric adjustment and even electric folding, but no heating. The mirror switch has a 0 in between the L and R settings, not the heated symbol. I remember on old audi's the wiring etc was all present it...

Hi i did a quick search but couldnt find out the answer for definate. Can anyone tell me if i can fit electrically folding mirrors from a cupra r to an 05 leon fr without the electrically folding mirrors? :confused: Would it be a simple case of taking the mirrors, switch on the drivers door and...

The short answer is yes it can. As yet I have only personally done TDis but I believe some 1.8Ts have been done. I thought I would post this info here for everyone to see as there is a pretty big issue in the way on the newer cars (seems to be late 06 onwards). The cruise control loom...

I have had a new Leon for about 18 months now and love it and especially the Bluetooth option on it. So the wife ordered a new Ibiza and went to pick it up today after stating she wanted the Bluetooth extra also and the dealer says they only realised it did not have it yesterday. Very...

I was looking at FleeBay tonight and came across a FR Steering wheel and a normal Leon Steering wheel both with the Audio Controls. Anyone know if its hard to change from the normal steering wheel to one with the multifunction buttons on it? Do I need to get a new control module for it...
