wrighty Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I have just taken delivery of my latest company car Seat Leon TDi FR 150. Surprisingly good car. However I cannot hear myself think due to a rattle of biblical proportions from the lower dash/centre console. Any Leon owners out there had similar? Thanks X/Flow and LOUD!!!

Dickie Normuss Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I had the same issue with my new Ibiza Cupra, I think it's the ashtray but it's never completely gone away Seek forgiveness, not permission.

wrighty Posted February 8, 2005 Author Share Posted February 8, 2005 Have checked ashtray and it is empty The car is now booked in to the local Seat dealer to let them have a crack at the problem. Fingers crossed. X/Flow and LOUD!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibster. Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 My Leon TDi Cupra has a slight squeak that seems to come from the area of the adjustable steering column gubbins. If I push the wheel hard upwards the noise goes away, one for the next service. Paul Supercheese R250 Caterham pictures here 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickie Normuss Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Did he say what it was 🤔 I need some pointers to isolate mine Seek forgiveness, not permission.

wrighty Posted February 12, 2005 Author Share Posted February 12, 2005 It was a combination of loose clips where the lower fascia meets the centre console and the adjustable steering column. Quite how he fixed loose clips I'm not sure but the panel was previously flexible with light prodding applied, it is now rock solid, so I wonder whether he has packed something behind the trim and then tightened the fastenings. (if that makes sense) Unfortunately the removal of this rattle/creak has highlighted all the other minor ones in the cabin 🙆🏻 but I will put up with it and enjoy the handling and performance instead X/Flow and LOUD!!!
