What did you need to get the heated seats to work? Just the seats and the centre console with the buttons? Or is there a lot more to it?
what did you and your mk3 leon do today
- Thread starter seatleon2012
- Start date
I had @East Yorkshire Retrofits fit them for me - they need a full wiring loom to the seats, a new climate control unit (which needs coding), and depending on the seats the airbags in them may need re-pinning (as many MQB seats will fit, but have different connectors/pinouts).
Money very well spent mind you!
Frustrating call with dealer about heat issues remaining even after charge cooler replacement and resolving coolant leak. After chasing for a response for over a week.
Normally when I raise an issue they book me in.
Suddenly been told have to go through main booking team but never had to last 2-3 years whenever I’ve had to book my car in.
Even up to a month ago…
Sounds more like they’re not really interested, after I sent over screenshots of vent temperatures showing way out of wack.
Have to wait until April and I know what’s going to happen they’re going to scan it - no fault codes which I already know.
Then say everything’s fine and it’s gonna. Drag all through summer.
Annoying thing is I’ve had heat issues that are annoyingly prominent And easy to see every winter

Some time ago I've found Cupra R like bodykit 3D model to print. Price was a bit high to me so I could not decide whether it is worth a shot but recently it got discounted by 50%!
Long story short I've ordered it and I've been printing it for two days now. Here is the first part completed. What do you think?

Ok this brings it into perspective Im not a fan of these type of additions/modifications, but I can see why you went for it

I will probably not install them in my car as I have 12 parking sensors and this kit will unfortunately cover it. Author of this kit have other interesting models though: https://cults3d.com/en/design-collections/RoSamper/seat-leon-cupra
The brake duct looks cool (pun intended) I didnt even know there was a market like this (models for 3D printing for cars)

Definitely! I've tried to get quote from 3rd party about estimated cost of print and it would be roughly the same as OEM ones
Took the Cupra in for rust prevention treatment today… Krown near Dudley West Midlands. It’s a thick liquid sprayed on, which lasts longer than Lanoguard.
Wheels off, plastics removed and any dirt/mud cleaned/steamed off. Then a coating of Krown - over all places accessible - including inside doors, rear light housings, under bonnet etc.
They commented the car had zero rust on bodywork, but the front/rear subframes were a bit flaky - it’s not faired as well as Mercedes/BMW’s of the same age (8 years).
Happy it’s protected!!

Second job of the week - TCU / ECU stage one on the 2018 pre GPF 300ST.
Already had a Racingline OEM+ map but no gearbox tune. Initially just TCU tune was the plan.. but.. as the racingline map is generic, I thought I may as well get a dyno stage one carried out along with the TCU.
The Racingline OEM+ was doing -
365 bhp @ 6100
488 nm @ 4500
The Performance Torque remap has now tweaked those figures up, not by a huge amount, but in the areas where you need it the most -
369 bhp @ 5950
555 nm @ 3350
A dollop more torque in a more accessible area of the Rev range, making it feel much livelier. The Racingline map was fine, but there are better results using a full dyno type tune.
Graph -
I’ve been using Performance Torque for 20 years (!) for various vans/cars, and have always had good reliable results.
My first remap (2006 Caddy 104 bhp DSG mapped to 140) was done at under 1000 miles, and after selling to a mate about 10 years ago, is still going strong on 175,000!!
Cheers

That looks like a lot of fun, doubt I will ever make it there but this year I am going to get a bit more kit for the play station so I can do some track work at home.
On a more Sedentary process I am today updating my OBD11 With all the Build Codes that @serdar_18fr kindly shared with me. so that i have a complete build list in the APP.
