RHD 4 x 4 - Anyone else own one?

[Fl@pper]

so where is the cordy cupra on the UK roads? it must be there because it says so in black and white!

saw one yesterday

but it did have polish plates

 

[karlosR]

thats cheating, if SEAT saw fit to print a press kit the it obviously must have made a RHD version, otherwise it would be a waste of paper!

Do we think he's looked underneath and spotted it's only FWD!?!

Hi,

Its defo a 1.8 20vT, but 4 x 4.

After recently driving my friends FWD version I noticed mine seems alot slower accelerating, but sticks to the road like glue at speed on bends.

Must have been raining this weekend

oh its a exhaust pipe is it?... thought it was a drive shaft.

perhaps its hidden under the carpet in all cupras and just needs vagcom to activate


cmon robbie lets have a look

i quote myself!
Its a unicorn!
widly spoken about.........never seen!

 

[Ruddmeister]

All you doubters

 

[DPJ]

Will we ever hear from him again?

 

[Ruddmeister]

I was looking out the window and just snapped this................so you never know

 

[DPJ]

It has a prop shaft with a diff and axel for rear wheels.

This is the bit that really interests me. 4wd Mk4 platform cars don't have an axle at the back - they have driveshafts- like at the front.

4wd Mk4 platform cars don't have an axle at the back .

Front wheel drives have an axle beam

 

[traumapat]

Front wheel drives have an axle beam

easy enough mistake to make

 

[Fl@pper]

easy enough mistake to make

not as easy to admit - would you drop in the pit with all these vipers covered in hamster blood

 

[DPJ]

Front wheel drives have an axle beam

Axle : A metal shaft that connects two wheels.

Shaft: .........................................

must admit this is slightly bigger than my own "why does my oil gauge sit at 90 no matter how hard i drive" thread.

excellent descriptive wording btw

 

[Fl@pper]

Axle : A metal shaft that connects two wheels.

sorry common terminology - can't argue with ze germans

VAG as do i call a FWD Leon's rear suspension a rear axle beam

but the 4WD uses a subframe with a central diff/haldex and trailing arm macphearson suspension

where are the pics, i dont think will we see him again, btw im leaving the site today, oh and mine is a 2003 leon tdi 110 and its 4 wheel drive, i would take some photos but my dog ate it lol

 

[Mr Az]

Come on now we've been wating ages! PICS!

well my car is a 1.6 leon on a R plate, its a pre-release press special and that has a haldex clutch but my mate who works for toyota had to plug it into his obd-ii port to activate the turbo overboost and propshaft differential gear linkage but he did it for a few beers. Got it on the rolling road and it made like 210bhp at the fly and 217bhps of torque on the wheels so its pretty good lol. i love my car did i also say that it is a 2 door
cant send any pics cause my cameras got some nudie pics of my missus and i dont want to get them hacked when i plug my sd card into my usb port.
