2003 Seat Leon Cupra review from UK and Ireland
"Very stylish and luxurious"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water Pump Failed @ 27.5K, common fault on the 1.8T engine. (replace water pump for metal impeller version and replace timing belt)
Rear door seals allow water into rear foot wells, but this is cured by punching a drain hole in the seal.
Rear lights leak water into boot, (replace seals).
Rear door speakers blown.
Coil pack failure @ 46k.
General comments?
Remapped performance is excellent, and if you decide to also do suspension and brake upgrades, this makes for a very fast car.
Leather interior is very stylish and nice looking.
