My New Leon 2002 Reg

[20V-TURBS]

Just A Few Questions I Would Like 2 Ask And If Anyone Has Any Answers It Would Be Very Appreciated. They Are Reffering To My Recently Purchased Leon Cupra 180 20v Turbo.
-is The Steeering Supposed To Be So Stiff Or Is That A Problem With The Power Steering?
-the Gear Stick Wobbles Around Alot Is That Common?
-first Time Having A Turbo (probably Because I'm 19!) So What Would You Say The Best Advice Is When The Turbo Kicks In Around Corners At Speed?

I used to have a 2002 LC.

The steering is on the heavy side but I would say sporty rather than stiff. If you feel that it's overly heavy then you better get it checked out.

How do you mean that the gear stick wobbles about? When you move it by hand? When you accelerate?

You shouldn't have any problems with corners when the turbo kicks in as long you're not over doing it and you have decent tyres. The traction control would kick in to let you know that things were going wrong.

Don't worry about the turbo - it isn't going to throw you off the road! I'd imagine that, if you're going "at speed", then you're likely to be in turbo rev-range anyway, so it's not going to be a huge surprise. Just remember - slow in, fast out. If you go hurling into corners, it isn't going to be the turbo that does for you. If you've got a little room to manouvre in the corner, you'll be reet.
My wife was a bit like that when I recently got a Revo trial - I think she thought it was gonna suddenly do back-flips or something

Are your tyre pressures ok. Notice on my 2002 cupra, slightest lost in air results in big difference in steering. Whats this about a revo trial??? Gear knob does have a bit of play, thinkm it depends on what your car was like before, i get into my mk3 golf tdi and it feels like the things gonna fall off!!
