Hi all, Are the petrol Leon Cupra and diesel (PD130) have the same exhaust sizes? I know the LC and LCR are different.

It's just i'm trying to weigh up the pros & cons between details with deals struck on a new FR at the stealers! cheers guys

As the title really, planning on getting rid of my Megane 225 Cup for something thats cheaper to run so going to start looking at some FR's and some Golf TDI's. Is there anything i need to look out for apart from the normal things? thanks in advance

Hi people, I am very new to this site, However i am very serious about becoming a Seat owner. Just need some advice on what to buy? I know i want an mk4 Ibiza, but do i have the 1.4tdi or do i have a 1.4 (petrol) sport. I would like a 1.9tdi but cant afford the insurance. I have 5,500 in my...

hi lads, wonder if I could pick your brains? I've got an 06 plate Seat Altea 1.9 TDi owned from new and only done 25k miles. my problem is that its recently had an irritating intermitent fault in that theres a very loud knocking coming from the engine and it stops when I press the clutch. It...

what is the purpose / effect of ultimate diesel mpg? life of engine? performance? clean running? i have put shell v power in my leon before and it ran exactly the same little amounts of smoke (same as before) no noticeable differance in mpg or performance sounds like a con i could be...

Now then everyone, Just had a quick search but not really found what I'm after.... Basically I have been using Millers in my cupra tdi for a while now as a while ago I had some serious smoke problems. Using millers in my experience has solved this to a point where even when I boot it there...

Are diesels worth more than petrol equivalents (serious question) Was looking on Autotrader yesterday and the cheapest FR cost more than my LCR, even though it had something like 160k miles on the clock Do diesel owners only buy them to do mega miles in? As above, nearly all of the FRs I...

Stupid question - Is it an 096?

Hi all, just come home from work to find out the mrs has put petrol into our 1.9tdi leon fr then drove it home! She put 7liters of petrol into the tank and then realised so filled up the rest with diesel to the top then drove home. There is no probs at the moment but I dont know what to do now...

Just a quick question and sorry if its been asked before, does anyone know the differences between the different output engines like the 90bhp versions and the others such a 110bhp, 130bhp etc?? Is it just the turbo and map or is it the internals? If so specifically can you tell me what? Many...

right several issues here... my 2l 16v box is slowly dieing i think its getting a bit louder and doesnt seem as smooth as it used to but after seeing 130k miles im sure i can put up with it... tho when it does eventually go i was thinking of replacing with a diesel box... it needs to be a...

Hi guys, well, close to getting my redundency money, which equals close to getting a Leon! Had settled on the 225 Cupra R, but am now having 2nd thought's, and thinking about possibly getting the 150 TDI version (as potentially new job will involve a slightly longer drive). Could anyone...

hi,i was at the pumps and decided to put BP ultimate in my PD 150 Leon.has anybody had any good results from it because its very dear at £1.16 a litre? thanks

Driving my car this morning the car kept going sideways. I thought it was icy but when I got to my mates there was diesel dripping off the front bumper. On further investigations the diesel is leaking from the off side front cannister - is that the fuel filter? More specifically the black plug...

Has anyone used V-Power in their Cupras or TDi's and noticed any improvements?

Following the snow we had back in February/March this year I've decided to go for winter tyres on the diesel's this year. They did struggle a bit back then. It may seem a bit early to talk about this, but when would you say would be the best time to put them on? 1 November, 1 December? all...
