Hi,

Looking at the Leon, 1.9 (or 2.0) TDI, on a 56/07 plate. probably a Stylance.

Anyone tell me it's good or bad points?

Any comments welcomed!!!

Thanks, Max

Check footwells for water/damp carpets.
My turbo bearings collapsed at 56k miles, also required new intercooler. New discs and brake pads at 55k miles.
Good enough car returning 50 mpg.
Good luck.

Theyre just good looking. What else do you need!!!
Get it mapped for more power and better econamy.

I have just bought a 2.0ltr diesel leon.

What does "mapped" mean?

Not really after more power, it has enough, but even more economy sounds good

I just had a test drive of a Leon FR170 TDi re-mapped to 205bhp (on paper, but realistically around 220bhp on a rolling road). It's basically plugging in a VAG computer and altering the software on the ECU. The one I test drove went like the clappers yet returned 45mpg, and I was caining it. Supposedly adds bhp and returns better mpg!
Costs between £250-£500 I believe.
