what did you and your mk3 leon do today
- Thread starter seatleon2012
- Start date
Yes that's the one I mean, when I took the old unit out the pipe came out and I fed it back in again and it sits fine, just want to make sure its not supposed to clip onto something at the bottom. Could not see anything obvious and it will drain to ground I am sure
Update: Checked the workshop manual and yes it does have a place to lock in.

I'm really small@Craig. I was mildly confused at first as that would is the driver seat in the Netherlands
Depending where you want to add button to activate Park Assist. I've got Mode, Start/Stop and Parking Aid buttons so it was not possible to add it on the left side of hazard lights button. You could use ESP Off button from Cupra, but Park Assist need two color button in order to work properly. However you can merge three different panels into one to make this work. You have to use PCBs from 5F0919234B and 5F0927137 with housing from 5F0927143 panel.
Here is a lot of useful information: https://leonclub.pl/forum/viewtopic.php?t=69033
So ideally I would also use this one, but as I said I've got Mode button. If only there were possibility to cheaply add Kessy then I would definitely install Cupra VZ steering wheel with Start Engine and Mode buttons
Well yesterday actually, Very nice day to take her out on the track again.
Weather was perfect (for a change), Oil cooler did its job very well and new brake pads worked a treat so will defo be using them again
Met lots of very nice people, took some out in mine and was out in others so got a range of very exciting experiences and lots of very nice comments about the motor.

The mainly-used key on our Leon was looking a bit tired (and a tad boring TBH), so it got a bit of a makeover with a new button pad and a bit of chrome bling.

eBay from 2 different sellers. I guess AliExpress would have something similar.
To be fair, the chrome top gave me a bit of trouble; I had to adjust the locating lugs with a needle file to get it to clip into the key fob body.

I bought an unused spare genuine key to strip down and freshen up my aged key, didn't go for the metal parts though, not for any particular reason.
Got major service done, asked dealer to look into number of issues I had. Fobbed off most of them.
Got a win for one of them suspension mounts need to be replaced and will be done under warranty.
I have a question though.
For last 2 winters I noticed issue where my car would not blow any hot air out blowers until the car physically started moving first.
Which meant I could never full defrost and demist my car and had to reluctantly drive without being able to see much.
*Picture me driving down my street and having to pull over every minute and pop my head out the window to check it’s clear*
But only option as otherwise it’s gonna stay blowing cold air.
That would suggest somethings not right?
Understandably the car doesn’t warm up as quickly or efficiently when it’s idling.
However if I’ve left it running long enough so the engines up to temp.
It should be blowing warm air without me having to drive it a mile or 2 down the road.
Tried to get it in the dealership end of last year to show them the issue but no availability.
As I’ve mentioned it in the past but nothing done.
Going to see if this still happens atm - obvs I don’t need the hot air blowing in the sun but I can’t do another winter with it like this and need to figure it out.

Happy ramp day!
Front tyres and brakes, finally fitting the aero undertrays, a couple other bits and MOT too...

We all love to add something positive to our cars and thanks to the great efforts in this thread:

I have added some aero panels to the underside of the car. Not completed this journey yet but it's a great start!
I had forgot to grab an extra speed clip but that can be added another time.
