Hi... have a few bits and bobs going wrong on the Leon right now and wondering if any of them can be easily fixed before I give up and take them to a garage and let them help themselves to the contents of my wallet. I'll list in order of annoyance:
Central Locking
Long term temperamental but now it only unlocks the back doors and boot, maybe once in 50 it unlocks the drivers door but never the passenger. This is annoying. Remote battery is fine though.
P2100/P2102
Check engine light is perma-on with these faults. I understand these are to do with the throttle actuator but upon googling a myriad of causes seem to crop up. Just wondering what I should check myself before giving up. EGR valve is c.12 months old.
3x warning lights on dash
Very occasionally when the car feels like it wants to give me a treat it'll light up the ABS, Tyre pressure and traction control lights. This only ever happens on the M1 when going at a decent speed and appears to have no detrimental affect to the drive. Next time you start the engine only the ABS light remains for about 10 secs then it's gone, not to re-appear for a few months.
Oh and water usage:
It's drinking water, very slightly. I have to top up the main water tank every 6-8 weeks (just a bit as the line between max and min is not massive). I've had the system pressure tested and all the pipes looked at but there's no noticeable leaks
