I have allready installed this kit on the LEON and work great cannot fault the value at less than £15 delivered - also was only ordered on saturday :D
 
mmmmm problem time may be caused by me lol

drained the coolant bottle to refil with antifreeze yesterday morning ran for a while to check for trapped air all OK

Driving home from Cardiff last night car Overheats and blew out a load of coolant when I opened what looked to be an empty coolant bottle - left the lid off today and ran for ages to get the internal blowers warm - not a happy bunny!!

Still must have air in the system as the rear heaters are not getting warm will try and re bleed tomorrow.

Anynone know if there is a bleed valve or similar on the PD engine?
 
Do you not need to massage the pipes to flush it round?

Be interested in your parking sensor install too
 
have installed them on the Leon already - need to look into a front set for the sharan and maybe the oem switch for them

I'm not totally offended by that vinyl wrap on the interior.

CV boot is easy enough to do, should take a half competent garage only an hour to do
 
Well Replacement Drivefshaft fitted - Piece of P*ss to fit took 1 1/2 hours with no great rush. MOT in the morning. We shall see how the old girl gets on.

After MOT with all being well next weekend the rear reverse sensors are going in.
Possibly a mufflerectomy and induction cone to try and get her reving a little more freely.
 
MOT Passed - Advisory on blowing exhaust - MOT inspector told me sounds like time you had a stainless decat system like the Leon has lol.
