New Used Seat Leon FR Owner

[R53Winny]

Picked up my Monsoon Grey Seat Leon 1.4FR 150BHP 17 plate face-lift with 30K miles on Saturday, loving it, like autonomous driving compared to my R53 mini.

Thanks, as I've just done the Sat Nav maps upgrade from 2017 to 2022 thanks to the forum. I am now searching for POI speed camera if such a think exists!?

Hello from Surrey

Welcome and glad the forum is helping you already

Hey @R53Winny. I recently got a 16 plate pre-facelift FR 1.4 TSI 150 DSG a couple of weeks ago and I love it!

As our cars seem to be very similarly specced, may I ask what tyre pressures are appearing on yours? We've been discussing this topic here.

Cheers

I haven't even checked yet , what would you recommend?

I'm still testing on my end too.

I started from 36/33 (front/back), which is what the sticker on my car shows as the advised pressures for low load, but I found the ride a bit harsh. Today, I dropped to 34/32, which I tested for ~60 miles, and it felt much better to me. The ride got a bit smoother, while the tyres still don't feel to "bend" while cornering. I may drop the rear ones to 31 to test further.

Interesting, I'll check mine... What size wheels have you got?

 

[Koulou]

My tyres are 225-45/R17.

 

[R53Winny]

Just checked mine, had 38 front left and right rear, then 36 and 35..

Gone with 34/32 now

It seems that your tyre pressures were a bit... random.

Out of curiosity what does the manufacturer suggest for your car? The sticker should be inside the fuel cap cover.

I've got the same, and 36 felt too much to me.

Mine feels a bit more on the road too.. I've also manually knocked off Auto Start which is even better too
