RHD 4 x 4 - Anyone else own one?
- Thread starter Robbie Romero
- Start date
slower to accelerate as its much heavier, but you can accelerate the same rate in the wet or dry i bet unlike him
get a nice BT on it and enjoy..
dna and carbon dating too. if so im dead jealous.
the most valuable leon in the UK ,if it exists
do we have a 4wd leon ?
or do we have a confused owner?
I think in year 2004 they stopped making them, never seen 05's 4wd anywhere
i'm hoping that Haldex will last as it's expensive as h*ll to repair it
I was looking for a LHD 4wd 1.8T two years ago and I couldn't find anything newer than 2002.....

weve got loads of the second one already.
when the Mk1 leon came out, there was loads of press about there being a 4wd RHD car, but to my knowledge, none were ever made as audi kicked up a stink, erosion of their territory or something
LHD yes, loads of them in v6, 1.8T and diesel in places like finland, germany, denmark, greece etc (cupra4 was v6 (?) 20VT4 the 1.8T (?), what was the diesel badged as ?, but I dont believe any RHD ones were made.......
please prove me wrong

RHD ? possibly converted but iirc that was the reason we didnt get it as it couldnt be but then nothing is impossible
most early ones are V6 or diesel and about 6 months after the 1.8T came out but seen a yellow tdi as we had one come over from hollando belgium for a track day
badge with rear '4Cupra' (flag)
and a small C4 on repeater but red TDI if diesel
the bodykit was different to the standard Leon which is until tht MY03 came out dressed in C4 clothing which you can blame me n Zboyd for by the way as when i spotted the kit we imported one and fitted to his imperial blue Cupra back 2000/01
Seat UK liked it so much they called me up to ask how we afterfitted the sideskirts as they wanted to make their own to show the powers that be
18 months later the MY03 came out with is standard

Just checked and this thread wasn't started on 1st April 
And getting type approval was expensive vs the anticipated returns IIRC

If it was a conversion, I think the car would be highly likely to have a lot of other mods...........
personally i'd leave it LHD but hotrodders dont worry about type approvals and such like
Cut - Weld - Drive

still looking myself but personally the V6 - seen the engine in flesh on prod line and nearly dropped to my knees - gorgeous motor
Indeed I placed an "order" for a 4wd 1.8T at the stockport dealer when they were announced. I even had ( might still have somewhere ) the brochure showing a cut out of a 4wd leon. But when the official announcement came of it's release I was told there had been a change and no RHD 4wd Leon

For all the non-believers, they (4wds) are listed in the back of the english (UK) owner's handbook. Try reading it sometime - you'll learn loads
Same system as Golf 4motion/Audi A3 Quat/Skoda 4x4 I think (Haldex clutch type). There was an Octy 4x4 with 400 bhp sold recently on briskoda

Most of us are well aware of what's in the manual thank you.
It doesn't prove the existence of a RHD 4x4 Leon though.
