Hey folks i am new to the forum and new to the leon family

[BeatoX]

just registered to the site not had a chance to look around yet thought i would introduce myself 1st my names jamie or BeatoX as u will no doubt come to know me by and i pick up my new leon 2.0 fr tfsi on friday and i cant wait times goin back wards lol :excited:

Welcome Mate

where you from etc

Im currently doing a deal to offload my 230bhp Leon FR for a new Leon Cupra R 265 but having doubt about it now, reckon the running costs will be 2-3 times more

[BeatoX]

hey andrew sorry for the late reply i havent been back on the forum since i registered so i noticed by your profile you stuck with the FR then ?? to be honest that was probably a smart decision my petrol FR eats the juice as soon as you drop the load pedal so i reckon the cupra would probably put a large dent in your finances lol

[AndrewJB]

Nope i traded it in for the Leon Cupra R

Running Stage1 APR now at about 325-330bhp :rolleyes:

[BeatoX]

ufft can u say “like a boss” lol might want to change ur profile info ur still drivin the tdi FR according to that lol

how do u find ur cupra on the juice i was thinking of gettin a stage 1 remap on my tfsi revo teknik told me it wuld push the car up to 265bhp which is a nice gain 😀 but my car runs at around 28mpg on a gud day so thats a concern lol i kno remaps on diesels tend to improve the mpg has it been the same for u??

[AndrewJB]

I can average between 24-27mpg on the way to work (6 miles of roundabouts and straights)

on Motorway its 32+ but i dont hang around on Motorway :LOL:

[BeatoX]

Halfords and kwik fit do brakes for life. I haven’t bought pads for ages lol

[BeatoX]

nice 1 richie the rear pads on mine are looking a bit low but the front 1s are fine so i dont see me having to put fresh 1s on within the next few months :good:

[Richie-Rees]

Basically u pay around 300 quid an every time u need new pads u just book it in an get them replaced. It runs for the life of the car but if u change cars u pay 10 quid admin fee an change it to the new car. Doesn’t matter if u have 1 set or 3 sets. As many as needed. Auto centres r doing it at the mo!!!
