    1.2 Reverse Switch

    im woundering if anyone knows where on the gearbox the switch is to? and best way to get to it? as ive had a look underneath when I was servicing it and whatever I pulled out did not have any threads on it so not sure if it was a sensor or a vent.

    Reverse Light bulb and Headlight bulbs

    I have searched but cannot for the life of me find a post someone write about changing the bulb in the reverse light for a more powerful one. It's lunacy how dim it is, so if anyone knows where this post was, or in fact has the info to hand, I'd appreciate it! And...while we're on the...

    Reverse Mufflerectomy?

    Is this possible? I want a backbox back on as the drone noises are really starting to get on my tit ends now. I hate it!

  4. New gearbox, now reverse lights and senors wont work.

    Hi, My 52 reg 1.9 TDi needed a new gearbox after 80,000 miles. Now I find that when I engage reverse gear that the reversing lights do not come on nor the parking sensor (though it does if I use the switch). Is this a simple fix? Fuses and bulbs seem okay. Mechanic told me that he has seen...

  6. 53 Reg Reverse Lights Problem

    Rear Wiper engaging with Reverse gear

    My Leon has suddenly started wagging its tail (rear wiper) when I engage reverse. It never used to do that, and though in the rain it's probably a good idea, it's a bit pointless most of the time! How do I switch it off and how did I switch it on? The car is an 08 Stylance with DSG. Cheers...

    I recently bought a 1998 Alhambra 1.9TDi with no reverse gear.I'm hoping for a "quick fix" but knowing my luck it will be a box off or replacement box scenario. :( Anyway can anyone shed any light on this problem or had similar symptoms? All 5 forward gears select as they should do but when...

    Wing mirror & reverse

    I remember seeing somewhere that the leon has a function whereby when you put the car into reverse the near side mirror tilts down to aid parking next to kerbs. Is this right?
