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?
-there's A Funny Sort Of Wet Dog Smell Probably The Ac But Any Other Idea's?

i've got exactly the same car/year etc...

And if any thing my steering a overly light, so you may have a problem, unless you have oversized wheels or tyres, if you have stock rims check your tyre pressures they should be 32psi all round

Gear stick wobbles... it shouldn't. probably caused by a worn out bush, maybe the dog bone mount bush, easy to rectify, plenty of threads on the D/B mount, just done mine, and the best mod for very little money...

cornering at speed, and the turbo kicks in.... thats half the fun of a front wheel driven turbo car isn't it ??? not a worry, just don't lift off, overwise you'll probably loose the backend, unless your related to Mr Schumacher

The wet dog smell could be caused by a leak, either in the A/C pipeing or possibly even where the pollen filter isn't sealing properly and water is getting in, check the pollen filter is seated and sealing it can be found under the plastic cover by right hand side wiper arm

Dunno the answers to the rest, but maybe previous owner had a dog?

Thanks For Your Reply Just One Other Thing I Have A Pipercross Viper Induction Kit From My Previous Ibiza Just Wondering Weather This Is Worth Putting On Or Not To Bother

searchy searchy!

Induction kits add a bit of noise but not a great deal of performance - Carbonio amongst others are popular...

The Wet Dog Smell Only Comes When You Turn The Blowers On

Its definitely worth searching on here for Pollen Filter changing or location. Its on the Passenger side of the engine bay, just at the bottom of the windscreen.

It sounds like its let some water in and its sat wet for a while. Check the passenger footwell carpet too as this can get wet if the pollen filter cover is not sitting/sealing porperly. (Following on from Cupraloons comment).

Yep i probably should have been more precise it's on the passenger side (or your right as you stand in front of the car)

try this... linky linky
