I bought a digital thermometer recently to check my A/C temperature, anyway I tried it today, with the A/C set to LO, and the temperature in all the dash vents was 7.9 degrees C, the outside temp was 33 C, it may have gone lower, but I didn't want to wait any longer for the reading to creep down more. Not bad seeing as I've never had it regassed since new, nearly 9 years old.

Hello, dear forum members, this is my newest pickup, and my first Seat (I've mostly used to Fords).

I'm from Hungary, and it's good to have such a large forum online. Today we parked like a real jerk (only for the photo).

I've finally installed Cupra rear spoiler on my Leon! It was lying in my storage for about a year so it was about time for finishing this mod. It is still secured to the car with tapes so it is looking a bit off, but already it looks so much better! Can recommend this modification to everyone, although it's not the cheapest one.

How was fitting/ how does it work do you take the normal one off or does it go on top also does the original brake light fit into the spoiler? TIA

What do you mean by "you take the normal one off"? By default there is no rear spoiler on MK3 Leon unless you have Aero bodykit. Mine doesn't have it and Cupra spoiler is attached on top of read lid.

Original third brake was removed and Cupra spoiler has some kind of scaffolding that is pushed to the third brake hole and has its own light. Spoiler is attached using 3M tapes (visible on a photo) and I believe with some windshield adhesive. I wasn't installing it on my own so I don't know to much details.

Yes that’s what I meant the thing at the top I have seen one for sale but it doesn’t come with the brake light so I didn’t know if the normal one fits in and in the description it says it has a small crack behind the brake light that you can’t see when the light is in

Guten Abend...

Bin neu hier und möchte kurz auflisten welche Änderungen mein Leon bekommen hat:

I've retrofitted the assistant camera, i.e. control unit A5, so I'm getting a 2Q0 camera next week and the adapters are already done. The only problem here is the VZE, as this is a SWaP item in the 2Q0 camera.
2) I've retrofitted the virtual cockpit, currently without a navigation card.
3) I have not only upgraded the standard navigation system, but also upgraded the firmware and installed a patch
4) an update for the PDC control unit so that I get the manoeuvring braking function.
5) Glove compartment with LED bulbs.
6) A second LED light installed in the trunk.
7) Reversing camera installed, OEM but not a high version.
8) Insert for the rear bumper in glossy black.
9) Trailer hitch retrofitted with original Seat parts.
10) Lane change assistant and parking assistant retrofitted, with Leon mirror and original Seat glass with LED.
11) Glossy black painted roof rails installed.
12) Fog light grille painted black glossy installed.
13) Black glossy Rieger diffuser.
14) Frameless interior mirror installed.
15) BCM update due to 30 colors of ambient lighting.
16) Door handles with lighting.
17) Cooled glove compartment.
18) Engine cover, drive the 1.4Tsi.
19) Solid chip tuning.
20) Footwell lighting rear
21) Steering wheel heating implemented with the Leon KL steering wheel. 5Q0 Version
22)Touch air conditioning unit
23) Passenger sun visor in black without airbag sticker.

Fitted Climair Dark Sports front Wind Deflectors. Rears due on Sunday.

My experience: The fit is millimetre perfect, tint level perfect, severe reduction in water ingress with the window partially open, no additional noise up to 70mph (well, none that I can hear over my music at low volume, nothing I can pinpoint with music off) so they are worth every penny.
