What didn't you know about your Leon?

[Squintstream]

1. its impossible to heal and toe in a lcr

Remove the high heals

No problems in healing and toeing for me

LOL yeah also if you press and hold the button on the b pillar it gives you an extra 30 bhp every time you start the car

































lol

Always wondered what that button was for??

[mrwookie]

[Steely]

built in foot spa, on passenger side!, doesn't have massage though


and oh yeah, having a full size spare steel wheel, that still says dont exceed 50mph,

I found out how to open my sunroof fully the other day! You have to actually hold the switch pass the last notch!

Sweet! Now I can let a little bit more sunlight into my life (car).

Also, i'm not sure if its on all the leons, but the cupra has an 'electronic limited slip diff' thats effective up to 25mph. Apparently. What it could do for you? i have no idea..

 

[brightsideteeem]

isnt it some kind of TCS to help with going up hills?

 

[DOLBY]

i wish the LCRs had an electronic slip diff, but unfortunately its a bit old school, which is half the appeal......

......also, you must be heal and toeing wrong dude, cos it cannot be done

 

[olliep]

am i right in thinking that the leon has a steering assist that works under 25mph to make the steering lighter? maybe thats what mr Skint was thinking about? definitely on the ibiza i think?

 

[Nautilus]

Is that why I think mine looks ever so slightly lopsided when viewed from behind?

LHD cars' ride height is normal on all 4 wheels, ~60mm from top of the tyre to fender

4. if you fold your mirrors in (lcr) then turn the engine off, but with the keys still in ignition...the mirrors fold out again.....

6. handbrake beeps when engaged and driving off
7 releasing the door lock twice allows you to leave the car

Most likely LCR only features. Mine doesn't do any of them

you can switch off your service light with a combination of left and right on the clock adjuster on the clusters. cant remember the combination though...

Service indicator did no longer appear after the third service (45 000 kms). Now due to 4th service, still doesn't appear

AC won't come on below external temp of 4 degrees C (i think can't be arsed to go get handbook)

Other source says 5 deg C. Mine does it below 2 deg C.

I find heel and toeing really easy in the LCR?!

Are you sure the pedals are the right distance apart lol

Called power steering isn't it.................. Sorry couldn't resist!

 

[dave_ph]

im glad someone else on here mentioned about the jacking point caps! I had to take my side skirt off to clip the damn thing back in!

mate the car does not allow you to do this

 

[Hilla LCR]

I did read somewhere that the drive-by-wire throttle doesn't let you heel and toe, but I can for some reason (I've been on 5 trackday in my car and have used heel and toe for every one) lol

I have an SE TDi and it does beep if the handbrake is still applied.

 

[MarkWales]
