Heyyy.. I’m Lottie
New owner of this Seat Leon FR TDI 170 - 2010 plate, 65,000 miles.

I’m a newbie so any ideas or recommendations for my car would be much appreciated!

My current mod ideas are - Roof wrapped in Carbon, Black alloys with Red Ring, Red brake calliper covers, Carbon mirrors, Black front Bumper grille mounting hatch to get rid of the chrome, paint the front and rear badges in black along with the Leon sign.

Anyone on here Re-Mapped one of these? What was your outcome with a stage 1 and where did you go?
Looking forward to seeing your ideas!

Hello, if you have a look at my readers ride (I spent a fortune on mine)... but about 3rd post down is the custom Stage 1 results.

Seat Leon FR+ 2012 Black (newb with no mechanical knowledge)

Hi all. I got my Fr+ back in January and loved it from the second I test drove it. Found these forums which have cost me / are costing me a fortune. As in the title, I'm rubbish with cars so I'm limited in skill and £££. But I figured I'd add the bits and pieces I'm doing to it anyway. To...

Not sure if R-tech do diesels... that would be my first choice for a custom remap. You could go off the shelf and get a Revo Stage 1 from MidlandVW.

Get some security for you car steering lock gps tracker get a dash cam for defo. Also you could get some fr logo seat belt pads. Spray wheels black. Put some whiter lights in be careful though as when you change sidelights some give off an error on the dash even though they are working. Also get carista obd dongle so if you have any errors you can read them. Also you can put on needle sweep at start up turn off seat belt warning sound and make your alarm beep when off and on. Also use it to put on you speed on the digital display. Makes it much easier to view your speed.

Hello and welcome

Hate to say it, but you'll ruin a good car with those really cheap and nasty mods.

Get front Xenon's and rear LED tick lights, RNS-135 sat nav or similar stereo and lower it a touch.

EGR delete, DPF delete downpipe, inlet manifold cleaned out, backbox gutted & remapped to 225bhp = some treat!

MOT fail unless the tester is a really good mate tho.

Second hand value takes a massive dive as well, alot of people aren't interested if it's clear it can't pass an honest test.

How do you get the alarm to beep? Does that need vcds?

No you need to buy carista Bluetooth dongle and with that you can do some mods like your alarm chirps when you unlock and lock your door. Sorry the car horn doesn’t beep it’s the alarm that chirps. Mine didn’t do it before. Mine is a facelift leon so I’m unsure if it works on pre facelift if that’s yours. For mine I’ve turned of Seat belt warning sounds and done it so I can view my speed on the digital bit of the dash but I only think you can do that on facelift model of the leon. The one with the black and white display. Also put on needle sweep when I start up car. Like I’m saying this is done on fl model if you have plf I’m unsure.

Mine is a 2010 FR so I presume it’s the facelift model. I have the black and white display on my dash. How much for the dongle roughly?

 

[Addyshannu]

Have a look on amazon they about £30 £40 but to do those mods you need a subscription but you get a months free then it’s up to you if you want to continue. If you are using android their are loads of hacked versions you can download so it’s free. Or you can buy codes from eBay for subscriptions that are cheap.
