winter

Just spoken to my dealer and he informed me that the winter pack option on the new Cupra is just heated wiper washer jets and not heated seats or headlight washers. Has anyone else been told this by there dealer as there could be a few annoyed people out there if they get there car and...

I know that in winter your car is supposed to drive better, but mine seems like it has really opened up. I can tell there is cold air coming in via the intakes as the engine seems more beefy when I rev it - it actually turns heads! Car acceleration also seems quicker. Today I made mince meat...

Got a set of brand new Audi S3 alloys on for winter (I know it's almost over!) whilst my vrs rims get re-furbed. What do you think?? I'm open to all comments, good and bad! :whistle: P.S These MAY be for sale once I have had vrs' rims re-furbed, let me know if you are interested!!

I've read in the manual that after the Winter season one should clean the underside of the car (and engine compartment) to help prevent corrosion (expedited by salting, etc., although the gritters haven't been out so much my way). What's the best way to go about doing this: take it through a car...

Dave returned to me yesterday to have his Leon FR TDi cleaned up. The car had a full multi stage de-swirl about 10k miles ago and some minor swirling was now visible. Unfortunately we didnt get any before pics - too busy catching up and moving cars and van around :wall: :D We soaked the...

Does anyone have the winter pack fitted as an option on their Leon II? Just wondered whether people who bought it rate it? I suffer from a glass back so the heated seats are a must but how does the heated wash wiper system perform? ;)

Ok, i started my car today... was pretty cold; probably -2 degrees Celsius, i raised the hood, and when i turned the key the engine started coffing and shaking very strangely as if it was having a nervous breakdown; for a short while; I braced myself and slightly pressed the acceleration pedal...

Folks, I pick up the FR beast tom. morning!! (If there are no 'issues' this time!) BUT i'm considering putting some steelies on for the winter period - just to keep the originals looking good.......and perhaps get them powder coated while they're off :) BUT what i'm wandering is what size...

I own a 2001 TDi sport (110) and it says in the homologation certificate, that I can fit 185/60/14 tyres on it (and 185/55/15, 195/45/16). Is this true? The standard 15" wheels seem to be a tight fit and the spare "space saver" tyre is also 15". I can get a set of 14" winter tyres and steel...

Unfortunately this is a none SEAT but thought some may find this useful? Dave contacted me, expressing an interest in getting his brand new Mazda 3 sealed protected against the forth coming winter elements. As dave currently resides in a flat, he also wanted a detail which would give him...

Hi guys/girls Just wanted to ask everyone with revo if they turn it off during the winter when its the roads have ice or are even gritted, plus when its really wet .. or is there anything that should be done to the settings etc to prevent anything nasty happening :confused:

I was wondering if it's better in winter to block a part of the front holes in the bumper and the grille. Would the engine take less time to heat up in the morning? Currently it needs about 10km to get to working temperature and I know some diesel car owners block their front grille in...

Think these look ok?:redface: I know their meant to be winter wheels but i still want it looking decent! lol Got the wheels brand new tsw with 1 month old fulda extremo tyres fo 300 quid so not too bad.....just didnt want to kill the laquer on the keskins! Pics a bit poor sorry....:(

This is an update of a thread of few months back. Basicaly the high temps were making my car feel like it was standard and it has continued. Like 2nite its 15 degree outside but feels muggy and yet car still feels alot slower than it does in winter. How are you guys getting on? Thanks

Hi all. Finally I've managed to take few photos of my Leon. I live in Ukraine. These days we have realy cold winter. Few days ago we had -28 C, but Leon runs fine :) Today I plan to wash him, he is too dirty.

hey guys was just wondering if anyone has any tips for winter driving with diesels...ie start up and stopping etc thanks

anyone can tell me if 17" wheels will fit on a Leon cupra R as it will be easier to get/fit winter type tyres for 17" wheels? Also anyone recomend a good make of winter/snow tyres? anyone know what size SEAT recomend for winter use and what tyres? Im asking as been at the highest point...

Subject says it all really - what is included in the Leon winter pack ? Heater washer jets etc ? Heated seats would be nice :O Yorkie. ------------------
