2009 Mk2 Leon facelift.

[SeanCorky]

It has definitely grown on me!

 

[chrisboyle999]

boot floor & the switches under the HU console look like an afterthought

are they switches or is it the aux/usb covers?

how high does the wheel protrude into the boot?

 

[Bilsten]

the 'switches' are actually slide covers for the Aux In and a USB port. Prob the best place for them 'cos your MP3 or ipod would prob be just lying infront anyway. I just plugged in a normal memory stick with mps's on it and they play fine.

 

[Bilsten]

about 5" which is rediculous. I was going to order a space saver and new carpet but thats another 250 quid, just over £19,000 was enough I thought. Will keep an eye out in tinternet for one from a scrappy

car looks fantastic from the pictures. i love the new rear end!

 

[syelad]

This might be a stupid question but can the usb connection play ipods / charge ipods?? Too much to hope for probably.....

you will need to buy the ipod cradle from parts

 

[Leonidas]

So is it more comfortable on the road?????????

one of THESE plugged into the aux will do. it wont sound like your in the albert hall, or charge it, but for £7....

I've only done 77 miles in it! but honestly it is far smoother, responsive and quieter. I like it. It just feels like its been put together better.

Got a preview of the new TV advertising campaign which is due to start this wkend when I was in the garage................wait til you see it!!!

I asked about ipod thingy and you do need an adapter, don't know how much but the previous model needed a thing that was over 80 quid. think I'll stich to the 8 gb USB stick I have lying on the desk. All the info comes up on the head unit anyway.

Can i ask what colour is the headlining on the FR ? is it still white?

 

[Bilsten]

yeah it's still that off white colour

 

[n_olympios]

You've gotta be kidding me!

 

[noktoto]

What about XDS? Is traction better then in pre-facelifted FR TDI?

 

[Leonidas]

Theres still rumours about a cupra r floating around

Worse than rumors of a Power Book G5

 

[markmeus]

There's room for it in the lineup given the Ibiza range now comprises of FR Cupra and Bocanegra.

 

[Moley RUFC]

You've gotta be kidding me!

Surely the most ridiculous thing ever! Oh dear, the boot was tight before but that stuck up like that is a joke

 

[rllmuk]

Is that because you get a full size spare now? I don't get it.

 

[Syphon]

The mind boggles with SEAT sometimes. Who on earth thought that was a good idea when the boot was fine before needs their head examining. It's like dropping the 12V socket in the boot during the MK1's facelift, or removing the glove box light.
