Seat leon 1.4 2016

[KXL]

Is 2016 when they introduced the dynamic indicators then?

If you meant the front DRL changes to turn signal then yes, if you mean the 'scrolling indicators' like Audis, then Seat never had this option from the factory. Some people managed to do it themselves with aftermarket kit etc...

I've wanted to do that to mine but i'm not confident in my abilities. Last time i messed around with lights and wiring i ended up needing a new alternator and battery
Don't ask because i don't know what i did.

Then again some people 50% of the time, didn't know what they did, but it turned out correct....so life kinda balances things out!

So are there variations of the model I have seen? Can I see online if its got any extras. Hoping to test drive it later.

 

[Geraint Thomas]

I am assuming that these 1.4 150bhp have a timing belt

 

[Geraint Thomas]

I wasn't sure if they were chain driven

I wasn't sure if they were chain driven

I’m almost certain all TSI engines are chain

 

[OJ9693]

Mk 2 is chain, Mk 3 is belt from what I've been told.

Ah okay, where i bought mine i could've swore he said it was chain. Going to have to check that.

 

[Geraint Thomas]

Just found out the 1.4 has a belt

They did do an FR and FR Technology although I can't recall what the difference was, now it's the FR, FR Sport, FR Black and then Cupra.
I believe the FR is going to be just the FR Black soon.
The Sport added leather seats and digital dash which I didn't like. The Black adds alcantara seats and digital dash with black wheels and mirror caps. Plus I'm sure there's other additions.

i found a pre facelift brochure (2014)

page 17 starts the trim levels
page 25 for the optional stuff

iirc FR Technology was just, fr with tech pack included (at least that is what mine was)

Technology Pack: Includes full LED headlights, navigation system and digital audio broadcasting (DAB) radio tuner

i still see a few with standard headlights, my sister has one, i wind her up and call it "peasant spec"

Is the timing belt kit an expensive job?

Cam belt is a fixed price job at seat dealers £399 in vat

Some more pictures as I couldn't get there today. Its up at £10995

 

[Geraint Thomas]

That's what I thought but they will probably give a good px price and then knock say £500 off so you think your getting a great deal

 

[Geraint Thomas]

Stand your ground, they need to sell not the other way round.
I'd start at £8500 to be cheeky and settle around mid to top 9s.

I used to work at this garage over 10 years ago and they are a small family owned garage and the customer care is amazing that's why I am going there. I have a focus atm but Ford is trash

and I'm sure there's a cuddly toy somewhere.

That's enough about my wife in the passenger seat.
LED lamps everywhere and despite some comments I find the LED lamps bright and clear, headlights and fogs really bright and we're now moving to the winter nights...see and be seen. Shame about the 'cig dimp' reverse lamp bulb.

Ooh, it's the MK3 pre-FL refresh....I had the original Mk3, and it had a soft close compartment under the climate control unit, charging a phone or plugging in a USB only came with a short 50cm wire in the glove compartment, 5.8" Nav screen, and had under front seat storage and headlight wash (no winter pack).

This one you see is the refresh, with the usb ports under climate unit, and 6.5" Nav screen. As the others say, price is a bit high (for 30k). High 9k might be what it's worth. Perhaps you can tell, if you are buying from them, to clean up the exhausts? And throw in a free service or something.... Or I guess they wil have to service it anyway if you buy it.

This one has come up locally now too. Its a 66 plate so bit newer, done 20k miles, price £11295

2 years newer, 10k less mileages, yet it's only 1.3k more than the 64 plate...guess as the others have said the red one was a bit over priced..

 

[Geraint Thomas]

The red one is a 16 plate
