Seat Leon 2017 fluid leaking from this area of the car
Had no end of issues the past couple of weeks with a fuel injector gone and some fuel piping gone but this isn’t petrol or oil it seems to be just water to me
It’s basically smack bang in the middle of the car so not coming from engine
Thanks
Bit of a random one.
I was chatting to someone the other day who said when they had their 2019 1.5tsi auto ateca they got it stage 1 remapped from 150 to 190. Is this number legit and would it even make that much of a difference?
I have a dq200 dsg if that makes much difference.
Hi, I bought My 2014 seat Leon mk3 2.0 Tdi about a year ago now, been a great car in general and have had few issues other than burning some oil, and mainly randomly losing all my coolant, it’s happened 4/5 times now where I’ll go to start the car in the morning and the reservoir will be empty, it’ll usually only need topping up of about 500ml to a litre and it’ll then stay that level exactly only to dump another 500ml a few months later, I’ve had it checked out by my mechanic who says he can’t find what’s wrong, another mechanic told me it might be the water pump but that was done only about 50000km ago so it shouldn’t really be causing trouble, this hasn’t ever really bothered me that much because the car still drives perfect and never overheats but I’m thinking of selling the car and don’t want someone to be stuck with this issue, the radiator fan also sometimes stays on very very loud after I turn the car off, I’ve had people come telling me I forgot to turn my car off when it’s actually just this fan that occasionally stays on for 3/4 mins after driving
Both of my headlights have this issue like scratches from the inside. You can see them only from a certain angle and mostly from above but not front. I live in a pretty sunny place so my guess it's from the sun that created cracking from excessive heat. If I polish it from outside would I damage the plastic if it has a uv coating? Car is seat arona 2021
Hello guys,
I am buying a used Seat Leon 2010 1.2 TSI from a friend of mine, who has really been taking good care of it - hence why I was interested.
He has changed the oil every year, and has all the service history and maintanance done properly.
At around 150.000 kilometers he also just had it all checked recently, including the timing chain, and the mechanic told us that the chain is in a very good condition and it would be a shame to change it for a new one.
Now my question to you more experienced drivers who own/have owned something like this in the past is how realistic is that I can continue with the same care and maintainance that my friend has done over the years, and still own the car for at least another 80.000 to 100.000 kilometeres without any major service? I don't really drive too much around the city since I live in a very public-transport friendly city, and I plan on using the car mostly on weekends and perhaps longer trips 2-3 times a year.
Also if you have any overall advice that could help the longevity of the car I would highly appreciate it.
I got this warning in the middle of my journey to work. When I checked the oil level afterwards, it was within levels.
I checked a few times after letting the engine cool. Will check again when I drive home later today. But I am worried about my car breaking down.
Any advice please?
Salutare. Mi s a aprins martorul asta in bord. Nu se vede in poza dar nu sta aprins constant, ci clipocește. Mașina este un leon 1.6 TDI din 2010 cu 270k km. Acum vreo săptămână a intrat în limp mode pentru aprox 5 km după care și a revenit. Aveți idee dacă martorul ăsta ar avea legătură cu filtrul de particule (am fost la o diagnoză și are 84 g cenușă, maximul recomandat fiind de 70g). O fi ceva grav?
Dacă recomandați curățarea, atunci aveți sugestii de service uri care se ocupă cu asta în București?
I currently have an analog cockpit and looking to swap to digital, but I’m finding it extremely hard to know if the part is suitable. On paper I think it is, I have a 2019 Seat Leon FR 5F Auto, the digital cockpit is labelled as 2017-2020 5F0920790A Seat Leon FR. Does anyone know if this will fit into my car?
Thanks
When I'm at around 25/30 km/h and need to brake, when downshifting, the car sometimes jerks and I can feel the gear shifting down (not always), but I don't think it's a normal noise. But this only happens at these speeds. Does anyone with the same model feel the same thing? The car has 22,000 km and is from 2024.
Hallo, fahre seit 3 Monaten neuen Ateca 1.5 TSI mit DSG!
Davor Skoda Superb Diesel!
Alles soweit gut!
Beim Navi finde ich im Manual keine Hinweise wie man eingegebene Ziele löschen kann!
Wer kann BITTE helfen bei diesem Problem? Danke!
Voilà , j’ai acheté ma voiture il y a une dizaine de jours. On me l’a vendu comme consommant très peu vu l’hybridation légère mais je tourne aux alentour de 7L/100km, mon compagnon dit que je roule comme une brute mais moi j’ai le sentiment je vraiment faire attention et de me traîner en mode ECO. Est ce que ça vous semble déconnant comme consommation en ville ?
Hello,
About to purchase the above, was wondering if anyone had any common faults with this car in particular the DSG, its sitting on 60k miles and has been serviced by main dealer every 10k, would the DSG been part of those services as I dont have the documents until I see the car. Would it be worth doing it? Iv got 3 year warranty on it but i know sometimes dealers say they are sealed for life? Anything else I should look out for when I test drive it?
Hiya!
I’ve just made the move from a 2014 Leon ST TDI to a Leon ST FR TSI
Everything about the new motor feels incredible but I’m having a little difficulty with the MIB3 system. I’m currently stuck on software version 1790 and I’m unable to get any updates going OTA. This has become apparent when trying to register a profile and the connection failing every time.
I’ve had a bit of a google around and I’ve found loads of different options and opinions but nothing concrete that I fully understand.
Would someone be so kind as to tell me in simple terms:
1 - is there anything I can do that will make the system complete its required updates without plugging anything in or being technical
2 - if I am unable to get the system up to date with OTA updates, how can I get it sorted with a degree of simplicity and speed.
Thank you in advance :)
Just picked up my 2025 Arona after first service oil/inspection at 18000 miles on variable servicing.
Told them to keep it on variable as it only does motorway miles, approx 18k yearly.
Service screen is now showing next oil service due in 9000 miles or 365 days.
Have they sneakily switched me to annual, or will those numbers creep up with usage?
TIA
Anyone else have this problem?
The noise is intermittent, from behind the driver's dashboard.
It happens when it's cold out (like on a summer night or in winter).
Hello , I am far away from home , i saw a leak under the engine part , looking to the level of the cooling liquid it went a little under the MIN level after hours tha car raised an error about it.
Going back home in 2 days (500km away) , i will just add to max level and check it every hour to add more if needed.
Do you think this is safe ? I'm in an empty area where finding a good mechanic is impossible! So i want just to arrive home safe and make the checks with my mechanic.
Thank you
I have a 2020 SEAT Ateca 1.5L EVO petrol manual.
This “rrrrr” / rubbing-type noise only seems to happen when I am on the accelerator and disappears as soon as I lift off. It can happen whether I am accelerating manually or using cruise control. It is not always present, but it is becoming more frequent and noticeable.
The noise seems to be coming from around or behind the steering wheel/steering column, although I am not 100% certain about the exact location.
Has anyone with an Ateca, or perhaps another VW Group 1.5 EVO, experienced something similar? Any ideas what could be causing it or what I should ask a garage to check please?
Hi all. Is there somewhere or way to adjust the dipped beam height? It’s pretty low, avoiding the potholes is a mission without full beam
