    Hi,

    I’m new here and just bought a used Seat Leon FR 2.0 TDI DSG.

    One thing I noticed after getting home was that there were no gearshift paddles. Everything I’ve read says that it should have them and the dealers advert even stated that it had had them.

    Were there some FRs built before it became standard? It was first registered in May 2013.

    Thanks in advance

    I’m not sure the gearshift paddles are standard. Certainly when I was looking they were an option on the 180FR DSG. Check the website, but I think they are probably an option.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the response. The brochure on the website states that for the FR it comes with Gearshift paddles for DSG versions.

    See page 23 within the following document: http://www.seat.co.uk/content/medialib/seat/uk/downloads/brochures/july-price-list/_jcr_content/renditions/rendition.download_attachment.file/1st-july-price-list.pdf

    So this is what is confusing me because I was expecting the car to have them. I’ve raised it with the dealer, so I’ll see what his response is.

    Kind regards

    I’ve found an old copy of the brochure lying around on my computer (June 2013 I think) and it definitely lists ‘Steering wheel mounted gearshift paddles (DSG models only)’ as an option (available on FR only). I seem to have a vague recollection of it being about £120 (which might explain why yours hasn’t got them).

    They became standard on the FR for 2015 spec which was around august time I think.
