Mk2 Leon Air filter and plug change

[Donnyboy]

At which service do these get done on the Cupra??

I've had the 1st and 2nd year services and only done 14k.

Also, whats the best panel filter? Was going to order the pipercross from Awesome when I order my torque arm insert.

40k service mate.

Pipercross filter available as part of the carbonio kit, but I am sure Green and K&N have one for the Cupra too. The biggest restriction is the engine cover itself though.

 

[Donnyboy]

Thanks.

Was just going to change the element for now till the warranty runs out at end of year, and didn't want to change the filter if it was due next service.

I'll do CAI and map when warranty is up.

Havent got my service book here but I thought air filter was every 20k

 

[Donnyboy]

I got a pollen filter at my 2yr/20k service plus oil and oil filter. Maybe the pollen is every 20k?

That means the 40k is plugs, air filter, oil, oil filter and pollen filter!! Anyone had aprice for a 4yr/40k service??

Whens timing belt? 6yrs/60k?

Whens timing belt? 6yrs/60k? > (4years or 60K!) < im guessing your refering to cambelt and waterpump change aswell.

 

[Donnyboy]

Yeah, so its due that next year when its 4yrs old as I won't have done 60k.

Price for that??

 

[cheungy]

My seat dealer quoted me 380 plus parts and labour and vat (cambelt kit and waterpump) and I still haven't done it...shes 4yrs old and on 57k on the clock...money is tight. hope this helps mines a TFSi but the parts should be more or less the same for your cupra

i had my pollen filter done at 30k dealer said its been bought forward on the schedule now., are plugs only changed at 40k?

 

[techie]

40k and multiples of obviously.

40k is the big service, plugs and air.

I looked in my service book and it says that cambelt change on leon tfsi 110000 miles or 11 years? somehow don't think thats right. Especially when that engine in a skoda is 60000 miles or 4 years. Can you help Techie? Also are there any special tools required to do a belt change?

Got my 40k service tomorrow. Will soon find out whats involved!! MOT too......

How did you get on and what got changed?


Anyone know what size the torx screws are on the airbox for removing the filter?

 

[Jon Legge]

How did you get on and what got changed?

The whole lot! Pollen, air and fuel filters, along with the spark plugs.

Had a few other small bits looked at, plus the MOT. Came in at £351!!.....

Never trust the service book, they go out of date real fast.

ELSA shows the TFSI belt as 120k, SEAT still advise all belts at four years, I believe Skoda say the same.

did you get to see the state of your old plugs? after 40k i would have thought they would have been pretty bad?

They are Phillips screws on my Cupra.

Ouch. Think I'll shop around for that service.

Thanks.

BTW. There's a guy in Irvine that may have a bumper if you want his username?
