  2. Brake Pad Wear Indicator

    Does the Leon FR (57 reg) come with brake pad wear indicators? My car has been to have its 40k service and they have told me the front are 90% worn.

  3. Turning off the wear indicator.

    The brake wear indicator has came on and I want to turn it off. I have fitted ferrodo pads and I have also fitted the mod to the connector of the sensor by using the red femal spade terminal to short out the pins. The indicator light stayed off for about a month since the pads have been...

  4. lets talk cam wear now

    The car is an 04 leon cupra tdi, standard, on 115,000miles. After finding that I had a worn turbo, it now seems my cam is showing signs of wear on the lobes ("hammering" and scratching).

  6. Brake pad wear warning light

    Hi all. I have an FR TDI Mk1 Leon and just had my break pads replaced. They were well woren and the steering was viberating everytime I breaked. I thought there was a warning light in the dash when pads got excessively worn. I checked the break area while the pads were being changed and noticed...

  7. Eagle F1 asymmetric wear rate

    I am considering getting some Eagle F1 asymmetric tyres for my TDI FR after seeing some great reviews. I noticed though on a review by a Leon TDI FR driver that they only got 6000 miles out of them. Just wondered what other drivers have got out of these tyres. By the sounds of it they...

    Leon Brake wear sensor mod

    Dont know if this will help anyone. I have found a new way to turn off the brake wear warning light after replaceing the front brake pads on the Leon Cupra R fitted with Brembo caliper's. The most common way is to cut the plug off the pad and then join the 2 wires together to make a circuit...

  12. Tyre wear / Camber set.

    Please note that I have read the other threads on this matter but would be very grateful for an update / further info. I purchased an Altea xl 1.9TDI Stylance in August 2007. It was an ex demo with less than 2k on the clock. All fine for the first year then the rumbling noise between 20 and...

    Wierd Tyre Wear

    I had my TDI Sport 130PD in at Kwik Fit today to get a wheel balanced and while it was on the ramps they did a free inspection. I have a set of Kumho KU31's that are about 10k miles old and the fronts are showing an even 4mm tread across them. The rears are wierd though - as you view the car...

  14. Uneven wear on front tyres

    Looks like I've been running with front tyres over inflated. Uneven wear with centre of tyres much more badly worn than outer edges. I've tended to keep a good eye on tyre pressure. I'm been using what's inside the filler cap (the manual doesn't actually give any info): 32F 29R. Tyres are about...

    Hi guys. Hope you all had a good Christmas an santa was generous :D I am looking for advice. I fitted coilover suspension all round and a set of 16" wheels with 195/40x16 tyres. I set the front camber to 2 deg which I know is slightly too much but it handles like a kart. 2000 miles later and the...

  18. Brake Wear Sensor

    After 5 months of having my Leon Cupra I have just got round to reading the owners guide properly. I noticed that there is a break wear warning light on the instrument panel. Does anyone know if this is just a gimmick or whether its actually useful? Also if it does work, is it accurate and...
