Haynes manual?

[LeonLangour]

Hi all

New here. I'm very much a layman when it comes to mechanics, but I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a good manual for the mk1 Seat Leon? I've looked on the Haynes website but can't find one. My 2001 Leon is getting a bit old now and I would like to take better care of it but don't really know how!

Thanks.

Closest one you’ll find is VW Golf mk4

There is a Bentleys which is very comprehensive... but something like £140 or so iirc

Dont know if there is one for the mk1 but certainly for the newer models Seat put all there workshop manuals in here https://erwin.seat.com/erwin/showHome.do you have to pay for access and download all the PDF' Worth a check to see if they support the mK1

Maybe check “easymanuals.co.uk”, I’ve bought from them in the past for my 2011 Audi S4 and my wife’s 2015 VW Polo 1.2TSI.
What they tend to sell is a copy of what is the official, for non VW Group workshops resource from VW Group.

Edit:- which is from erWin but without you needing to do the work of finding it!

In this day and age you can probably find more out by watching a YouTube video. And if there isn't a Leon one for what you need, they'll usually be one for the Golf, Audi TT, Audi S3 or Skoda Octavia that also applies.

YouTube is okay if you are lucky, and only then, for instance, I blundered on a YouTube video covering the oil change of a newish, maybe 2019/2020, SEAT Leon Cupra - just reuse the plastic drain plug and the tightening torque for the oil filter casing is 2.5Nm "and I just hand tighten it and then a bit"!

Well, for what the plastic sump plugs cost, £5.75 from VW Group dealership parts department, I'd just use a new one when changing the oil, oh, and the oil filter element casing torque is 25Nm - which is a lot more than the 2.5Nm suggested on that video.

Just tread carefully when you don't know much - but YouTube is your technical resource!
