1.6 8V SR is puttin 100Bhp exactly. It is commercially 101Bhp. the same 8V motor with some different types of injection would place 102 or 103 Bhp as in the VW Beetle or the New Octavia A5.

with a nice induction kit like K&N or other aftermarket filters u can improve the throttle response and increase Bhp a bit like 3 or 4 Bhp.

for the 1.6 16V used in later models of the LEON and std in the AUDI A3 old shape. The new 1.6 16Vfor the VAG group is the one currently being used int he platform of the new GOLF5; it is FSI with 113-115 Bhp, yet wont be put in the new SEAT LEON?

It seems SEAT have an over stock from 1.6 8V - Poor planning!

heyyy...

I got 200Km/hr once, didnt go more than that actually. it can put up unitl 205/210.. I think after i fit the KONI it shall do better in the aerodyamic resistance and reach more top end easily with bigger rims and lowered chasis.

Question From Leon 1.6 Owner in Bolton

Hello Folks,

What should I be expected to pay for a good set of new brake discs front, and back on my 2002 Leon 1.6.

So far I've been quoted £300 from the Dealers in Bury, and £205 from Thistlethwaite Tyres.

While I'm on, my Exhaust Gas Release Valve is faulty, and needs replacing. I've been waiting for the part since the 5th May - not the dealers fault. Seat made a **** up with its stock supply, and its had to reorder from the factory.

The worrying thing is the high pollution light's constantly on now Will this damage the engine, or cat?. :confused:

1st of all i dunno how much is the disc's in bolton coz am livin away from bolton.....i think the exh. valve must be replaced .. coz it will damage the catalizer...and if the catalizer damaged it will make the car power so much weaker ... and i think the catalizer is so expensive
