What didn't you know about your Leon?

[downrodeo]

" oh and the alarm is naff (tried the other day)....you can have a party in there before the sensors pick up any movement..."

Yeah think there is something wrong with yours, tested mine the other day and it didn't take much to set it off. Granted it takes a few seconds after first locking before the sensors kick in.

1.the fitment of a front and rear strut brace cures dash rattles
2. oil takes 12 minutes to heat up in summer and 16 in winter
3. all beeps can be turned off by vag com..
4. being very very suprised at the stopping power of them brembos if you really have to emergency stop...

im drawing at straws now....im sure someone wrote a thread about this years ago...on this site...

 

[LEE69]

yours must be sensitive then...cos i was waving my arms and jumpin about like mad and it wouldnt go off...**edit lol**

I 'think' the sensitivity can be adjusted in vag-com.

 

[DOLBY]

eventually it will go off, but the alarm was certainly no clifford i had years ago lol...

a couple more...

1. its impossible to heal and toe in a lcr
2. you always have 10 miles in the tank when it reaches zero

If you unlock your car and don't open it within 30 seconds or so it locks its self again.
The OEM ride eight is 2mm higher at the passengers side as these cars were designed to be left hand drive.

Is that why I think mine looks ever so slightly lopsided when viewed from behind?

 

[Willie]

Yup, that's because it is, when the drivers in the cars its supposed to balance it out

Ive done 45 miles on zero before. It was a bit worrying though.

the trip computer tell you how many miles you have left driving at the current speed.
But never found out how accurate this is as never taken it to no fuel level

I can heel and toe in mine with standard lcr pedals. What foot wear are you wearing?

What is heel toe?

If it means braking with your heel, i can do that...

 

[D3DNA]

It says heel and toe but you don't really with your heel, that's just your pivot point. With the ball of your right foot you press the brake and with the the outer part of the foot you press the accelerator while at the same time pressing the clutch with your left foot. The idea is that while you brake the engine revs drop and when you go to a lower gear (3rd to 2nd say) the engine needs to rev higher to match the wheel speed. When you change gear if you don't rev match the engine then you experience a jerking motion when engaging the clutch again, the heel and toe helps minimise this.

[adam cupra 20vt]

I think this is the reason you can't 'heel and toe'

if you press the accelerator and brake at the same time the engine cuts out... not that exciting but worth knowing!!

 

[R@B]

That the sensor for the low windscreen washer scares the crap out of you, being honest that could possbly be due to the previous car was a fiat stilo, and when ever the dash kicked off you knew it was gonna cost you!

Your not alone, i've found this too but was well chuffed when i noticed it just needed water. Theres no need to have such a loud beep for such a small thing. I think Seat done it for a laugh.
If you hold down both buttons on your key for a couple of seconds the car locks,windows go up and mirrors fold in.

























Only joking!!!!!

 

[swilky23]

If its mapped to 270 it shows the new scirocco up from the lights even if you let them have a head start!! Lovely car though!

 

[R@B]

5. after turning engine off and removing keys..you have around 10 secs to shut windows and mirrors electronically

Dont know if that is just a cupra r thing but in the cupra you have 10 mins as long as you dont open a door.

LOL, never known to be good drivers though but well done anyway.
I did this to a 8P S3 but he left his tracion control on a fecked it as the engine cut and I walked away, lol dreep

 

[brightsideteeem]

Lol, i love surprising merc CDI's and 320d's

i know its not as quick as you LCR boys, but not bad for a

110

[Splitpin73]

I found out the other day that if I rotate the mirror knob to point downwards it folds the mirrors in for you!

You all probably know that already but I have only just bought it....

LOL yeah also if you press and hold the button on the b pillar it gives you an extra 30 bhp every time you start the car
