Currently looking at purchasing a Seat LEON 2.0 TDI CR FR 2010 model and wondered if these cars are also affected by the DPF issues I have read so much about on here before.

Thanks
 
No. The CR engines are designed to work with the DPF so I don't know any that have had problems. Don't get me wrong the night regen once in a while but nothing like the DPF on the PD engines. You will be fine mate.

Thanks. This one is 4 years old with 28,000 on the clock. Currently have a 56 1.6 petrol...

What kind of mpg are you getting?
 
My commute is a approx 3 miles of urban and 8 miles of Dual Carriageway A Road (approx 60-70mph) and I get 50mpg if taking it easy, 40-45mpg if I'm in a rush :)
 
CR was designed with the DPF rather than having it as an after thought so it has very very few issues, if any.
 
My cr170 is over 100,000 miles and no signs of any dpf isues
 
I've had mine since Sept 09 and have never had any issues with the DPF, I never even noticed regen and neither have I had any issues with it at all to be honest mate. It did about 10 - 15 000 miles on stage 1 as well witt the DPF still there and still noticed no issues But had the delete pipe put in for stage 2! It seems pretty bomb proof so I wouldn't worry about anything mate!
 
Bit late, but I've had mine since May 2013 and done 32k miles in it with no DPF issues. Currently running stage 1 with DPF still in place and still no issues so far.

MPG wise I get around 45mpg actual. The trip computer is really inaccurate on mine and regularly says I get over 50mpg.

My dpf was fooked after 75k on my 59 plate. The regens were constant and horrendous. The dealer actually paid for dpf delete and remap ! Best thing ever, better mpg up to high 50s and 207bhp and lots of torque. Downside it eats front tyres and its a handful in the wet.

I'd put that down to the shower of **** dealer you bought it from. I don't know anyone who's had a half decent experience buying from Bristol street Darlington, don't know how they're still in business to be quite honest. Wouldn't use them for anything...

Happy to sell crap cars, cars less than a year old with accident damage repair to main crash zones on the car etc.
 
Agree with bristol street being shite I had to tell them what eas wrong everytime and how to fix it. Ive still got the noise from the front plastic boots when turning which is apparently unfixable . Seat uk still dealing with this! I thought I was getting a good car as im the first owner apart from seat who probably ragged the tits off it! At the min only ptob I have is at 4k revs 3rd 4th n 5th I get a flat spot since remap tho im thinking of going down the golf gti or c class c250d .
 
As far as them selling accident damaged cars I know of a car from there the managers missus stacked pretty bad . I saw the car . Who then got a friend of mine to repair it prob on the forecourt now only had 300 miles on it
 
If I keep the leon will the flat spot fault show on VCDS or not. Ive been told its boost control valve just cant b arsed with it at min
 
Might take u up on that at some point maybe point me in right direction. While im on see if any faults on climate control cos one vent is warmer than other apparently it can be reset
 
Yeah it scans all aspects of the car so any fault codes will be found.

Will look into that as my passenger side centre vent is always warmer than the others.
