I'm considering a seat leon as my next car and I'm not sure if I want the petrol cupra or the diesel fr.
I'd be doing around a 40 mile commute to work and back each day but I'd also like to use the car for my mountain biking and fishing so considering the diesel as it won't cost me a fortune to go places.
I'm no expert on vags but I'm aware of the water leaks on leons etc and about the pick ups blocking on the 1.8T engines I'm guessing the diesels suffer with the dual mass flywheels, does the petrol have a dual mass?
I'm just wondering what issues both have and what advantages of owning one over the other?
The petrol cupra seem to be sensibly priced with low/average miles where as the diesels seem to be similar money with twice the miles so I'm concerned about potential failures of expensive components such as injectors etc.
Thanks.
