Hi all i have got a seat leon 1.9tdi fr on a 05 plate
but it has got a full mangnex exhastst and a K&N indution kit on. now the reason why i am asking for help is that it is all ways really sooty and when i see other desiels ther not as bad as min even tho mine there is nowt wrong with it even the seat garage said itr was fine but i cant help but wonder if its not like? and it poss might have been remapped as well not sure.

And there is no manual out there for the leon either cos i need help taking off my bumpers to put them back on right.

If there is anything that someone can do to help i would would be great full.

First off, welcome to LOC!

Secondly – the Haynes manual for the MK4 golf will work with the MK1 Leon.

Third thing – if I were you I’d ask the person you bought it from what exactly he did to the engine with regards to modifications. Possibly get some sort of engine cleaner in there…

Welcome :good:

Bang some Millers Sport 4 in their that will give it abit of a clean out but unfortunately when you fit and exhaust it will smoke more

If you want it to stop it then fit a normal exhaust :good:

Welcome to the forum.

A remapped PD150 will smoke more than a standard one. Also give the air filter a clean and re-oil, that may help a bit.

I agree with Andrew and find out from the previous owner what has been done to it, either that or see if it pulls the same as a standard PD150. If you don’t know the previous owner and still want to find out if it is remapped, get it to a rolling road day and see what the roller output is. A dealer should be able to check the ECU for a remap as well, but may put it back to standard “accidently”.

Also, looking at insurance, give Greenlight a try, I got my Cupra TDI with them for £440. Bargain in my eyes. Car is basically the same as yours.

150-165bhp Not Remmaped

165-190bhp Remapped
