My first Seat (Leon FR)

[jocco]

Hi all, just got my first Seat.

Its a Leon MK2 FR petrol with a DSG gearbox.

Traded my Megane 225 for it.

Still miss the Megane, but I will get used to the Leon, its a nice car.

Really love the DSG, although it behaves strangly sometimes, especially if I try and push it around cornes, it up-shifts when I dont want it to shift
But I guess I'll get used to it.

Greetings from sunny Macedonia.

I have a few mods in mind so some opinions and advice are welcome.

The car is decated, the previous owner did a custom job.

I plan on the fit:

An air intake (been offered second hand BSH)

Definitively a re-map (probably REVO)

I really love the Cupra R twin exhaust, but that will be expencive since I also need a rear defuser/valance.

Maybe some interior mods (found a MFD2 fro 200Euros, and maybe some gloss black parts)

can you get the parts where you are or do you have to have them shipped

Basically, when it comes to parts there is nothing here and everything has to be ordered from abroad. But I can get some of the parts second hand cause the Leon is a popular car here so there are soma parts available.
Usually a trip to neighboring Greece is a solution for sourcing a lot of parts, and a lot of cheaper then here.

Welcome , put the DSG into S and it will rev higher before it changes gear.

Still getting used to the DSG.
So far i like how it behaves in manual where I decide when to upshift.
I get a clunk when it downshifts from 3rd to 2nd only on low revs. Is that normal?

Ive never heard any clunking noises from mine ?
