Ok, my poor Leon has endure all the snow, rain and the London speed ramps over the last few months and its all took its toll
The cars now on 172K and there are problems are creeping in
First off i had a rear hubcentrric spacer destroy itself meaning iam back to standard ET on the LCR alloys and lost the 15mm poke i was enjoying
Second
problem is the handbrake light keeps on flashing and making 3 beeps, normally when the handbrake is applied or just braking to a standstill or accelerating off a standstill, never say when driving down the mototrway. Is this a handbrake sensor issue or braking, abs, clutch issue ?
Third
problem, clutch is starting to play up, when lifting the clutch pedal slightly the car jolts forward like you have had a little knock from behind, occasionally gets stuck in 1st when pulling off, with revs seeming to drop and the clutch louder then normal
and final
problem tonight is the turbo making a police siren noise ?
dont know if its on its way out or its got an air\boost leak somewhere, its feeling under powered but to scared to proper boot it encase i damage it more if that is the
problem
as far as i know its still on the original clutch and turbo or it certainly has been in the last 70K of its total 172K since in my ownership
I would love to say, stage 2 clutch with a bigger turbo and be done with it, but simply don't have the funds right now. Just bought a new skoda fabia rear wiper blade aswell
