One year on with leon fr tdi

[chillcupra]

Just thought I would mention that I have had my leon just over a year now. I think its one of the best cars you can get for performance and economy. I drive alot and love the economy. The best thing about the car is the torque. Anyway i have loved the last year with my leon. The car is fantasic but had problems with the dealers.

In feb this year i got it revod and made the car so much more smoother and in gear performance amazing. However its suffering at the moment with the higher temperatures.

All in all its been a good year with the car and look forward to doing more mods but i will probs sell the car in 2 years. (audi s4/M3)

Finally would just like to thank all of the guys n gals who have helped me over that last year.

Thanks

Hi - Nice to hear you love the car, had mine 3 months and love it to bits. Havent had any dealer run ins yet but have planned revo at the end of the summer. Can you comment on the difference it made and any warrant issues that arose because of it?

 

[chillcupra]

The difference i have noticed is a lot more pull in all gears and its alot smoother. At the moment coz of the heat it is a bit sluggish but i have just been out in it and it feels good. Its worth the money.

had mine since last October mate, she was born March 2005 - just hit 12k miles and she is getting slacker by the day. Just been to York and back from Sunderland today and 57 mpg average and thats cruising at about 80 mph on the A19.

Love the acceleration, the looks the economy and of course the torque.

Life just gets better

Good to hear you still love it. Ive had mine for 4 months and still gives me a smile! Hopefully getting revo soon too, cant wait!

Only thing I have done to it is the fabia rear wiper and some Goodyear Eagle F1s. After Revo, I think it will be a brakes upgrade but no hurry!

All i want to do to mine is 18" LCR Wheels, centre arm rest and revo and thats it, doubt i will ever have the cash to change the wheels but the other 2 i will do. Have u 2 debadged at the back? I just have the fr badge on the right side at the back, looks very tidy.

I've had mine just under a month now, FR+ with the Cupra R kit on it.
Love the grunt it has but lost boost for just over a week when the N75 died. Seat Service Centre in Camberly ordered the wrong part, which I was less than pleased about!
All replaced and working now though!
Car had 5500 miles on it when I collected from Glasgow, now has something like 7500

Hi Schnipps, when I got mine it just had LEON across the middle on the rear. I just added a Cupra badge on the right hand side where the 'R' would be on an LCR.

I prefer it without the Cupra badge

Hi all, I've had her since October and covered 5200 miles with a smile for every mile!!!! Like the others I love the pulling power and you don't see many of them on the road in Dundee - bonus
Anyway I plan to get revo and brakes done then just keep her gleaming

Had mine now over a year and abit, and will done quite abit to it and still to this day loving the car... even more so now i had JBS play with the car, now it sticks to the road like sh!t to a blanket! Now imagine all that power and all that handling and then you think how many petrol cars I've embrassed....lol
I've debadged mine except the TDI badge, going to put the LEON spaced out later this week and got something very funky to do with the badges... will post up pics when i do, but heres a few pics of here now...

 

[Mister_E]

Do you have a close up of the dash so we can see the guages???

Thats the closest pics i have.... sorry for the size... Its a Defi gauge!

 

[Mister_E]

What's that in front of the gear stick surround? Jame Bond style torpedo switches???
LOL!

 

[slick]

Almost..... lol

Its the Defi Controller box, becuase the guage is completely electronic, you can tell it to beep at a certain level of boost for smoth gear change and etc, you can also Record the boost levels when ever you like and also at the press of a button, see the highest level of boost during a run...(off the clock normally, as its a 2.0 bar gauge and max spike is about 2.1 bar... lol)

But yeah alot of people ask the same thing, James Bond question... the funkiest thing is its motorised, so the buttons raise and lower in the centre console... so not on show all the time...

LOL!
