what did you and your mk3 leon do today

[TripleBob]

New toys have started arriving! It’s like Christmas has come early (and just like Christmas I’ve bloody paid for everything )

Thats fast!

I know right! Ordered the shocks from AutoDoc, as they were a full £200 cheaper than anywhere else and I figured I’d risk it (as they’ve got mixed reviews). They’ve arrived super fast considering they’ve come directly from Bilstein in Germany! As far as I can see they’ve not even been via a warehouse - the dispatcher details for customs was Bilstein!

I usually also order from Autodoc, I need to take into account 2 weeks for delivery (Germany > Netherlands)

Nothing. I've done nothing with the car for a while.

Not even cleaned it.

Been busy sinking time and money into 1 of 2 new PCs and I am now sad as I released the car has been forgotten!!

With trips away and Birthdays/Christmas looming, I doubt I'll have the chance to do much, if anything, with the car until the new year except maybe clean it.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Is it a tdi?

Petrol mate.

Weirdly I tried to replicate it again this week and it blowed hot air a lot quicker.

This is the problem I had last time by time I got it to dealer the weather warmed up. They couldn’t fit my car until months later

If weathers decent it’s fine. It’s when the temps plunge everything falls apart.

Got a video I took on a cold morning last year where I was sat in the car for 40 mins plus and still not hot air.

Might need to move appointment to next month…Need more wintery weather to demonstrate annoyingly.

Don’t want to convince myself it’s not an issue anymore then come December I’m struggling

Annoying

Looked into getting injectors cleaned ultrasonically today but I’d have to send them in

How easy are they to access and remove on these cars?

Sound like a parrot but just don’t understand how even on a long run my 1.5 returns sub 35mpg.
No matter the season.

I’d honestly love to just get to bottom of it, as just in the back in my mind it gives me back of my mind that somethings gonna go completely wrong
