Leon TDi Sport, New Wheels Fitted
chrisr:
Not exactly a MK5 but it is its close cousin :grin:
Most of my Motoring life has been with the VAG Group ranging from a Corrado to MK4 1.4 Golf, Red MK4 Golf Anni, MK4 R32, MK5 GT TDi, Then my last one was a 54 plate Blck Cupra R.
I then went into Subaru Ownership for a couple of years but with the rising cost of fuel im pleased to say im now back in the VAG group ownership again :funk:
Last night I did a 5 hour round trip to go to see a MK2 Leon TDi sport. I did the worst thing ever & went to see it in the dark :rolleyes:
Left our house at 9:30 pm & arrived at the car at just gone 11:30 pm.
After a good look round it with an LED torch to show any new paint & performing the usual HPI & MOT Mileage history checks I took it for a drive.
I had forgot how comfy VAG cars actually were compared to my Impreza.
The Leon drove faultless & pulled really well in all gears, No funny noises or clunks.
Anyway a deal was struck & I then made the 2 1/2 hour drive home. It never missed a beat & drove perfectly.
On the way back I did find 2 little issues, 1 was that there was a headlight out & the other was the wipers were a load of cr@p (Not good when driving down unlit country roads & heavy rain :D)
Got home at 3 am this morning & had to be up again at 6:30 to go to work, The car looks very streight in the day light :funk:
Today I bought Valeo Aero blades & Hella uprated bulbs so now there are no little niggly issues.
Just put it on VCDS & only a couple of small errors showing (Alarm sensors & Headlight bulb not working) so quite happy.
Some pics taken this morning before work.
Not a bad spec including cruise control, Sports seats & dual zone climate.
Plans for Tomorrow are to go to work in it & give it a good clean, Will upload pics once done.

They are my "Proper" plans for today (Didnt say plans overall though :laugh:)
Long term the plans are a set of BBS CH Style Alloys, OEM Nav or Android Double din in OEM style, Re-map at Awesome GTi & then undecided if I should go down the BTCC Route or just the FR styling.

I think I can honestly say that its probably the best car I have owned so far.
J400uk:
Looks tidy and similar to what I had before, they are a bargain for what they are.
That alarm sensor error in VCDS you mention is very common. I had it and so did quite a few guys on the SEAT forum. Its safe to ignore :happy2:
