  3. Wont go into 6th gear

    My car has a small prob where it will not allow me to select 6th gear most of the time. Sometimes it goes in without any probs, but mainly it refuses. Not had this problem ever before, only started a few days ago. Car is out of its warranty now aswell which is a bummer! Anything I can look...

    LHD Gear Knob fitment on RHD car

    I have tried ordering the Linea R gearknob and gaiter from IBEXparts online. They claim that the part is only available for LHD vehicles and will not fit RHD. I cannot see any reason why a LHD one will not fit. Can anyone enlighten me to something I may be missing?

    Blue smoke on start up & changing gear...

    I have searched, but found nothing conclusive on this issue.... When I first start my car from cold it chucks out a cloud of blue/whiteish smoke, and also does it when going from 1st to 2nd, and less so from 2nd to 3rd, with occasional large puffs on a trailing throttle. The problem seems to...

  19. Noisy gear stick

    I think I've searched/read all the threads here about the notchy gearchange which seems to be common on the Leon, especially into 2nd, but not seen any mention of what I'm experiencing. I have this notchiness but also a sort of plastic rattly noise at the same time, almost as though there's...

    Rear Wiper engaging with Reverse gear

    My Leon has suddenly started wagging its tail (rear wiper) when I engage reverse. It never used to do that, and though in the rain it's probably a good idea, it's a bit pointless most of the time! How do I switch it off and how did I switch it on? The car is an 08 Stylance with DSG. Cheers...
