The MK2 Leon CUPRA R Review that CARWOW never made
If CARWOW did a video on the MK2 SEAT Leon Cupra R, this would possibly be what it would look like! I will take you for a full guided tour around the Cupra R, and show you it’s features, practicality, strengths and weaknesses. Can it still stand up for itself today as a strong contender for a great second hand hot hatch?

Gearbox HACK! How I AVOIDED a Costly Replacement with a $30 FIX
Did you felt some change when shifting or driving?thanks
Not really, was more just for peace of mind that it was done and good for another 30,000 miles or so 👍🏻
Just got my 2 doors back 🎉 cheers for the video about to try it on my dads Audi too
No probs at all 👍🏻 glad to hear it worked for you 😊
Great Idea!
Appreciated 😊
I need them stickers when you open the door on the metal
The door sill stickers are just a handful of things from eBay. Carbon effect door sill stickers, a Cupra sticker, then in my instance a VW Golf R sticker 👍🏻
Who did you get your door card stitched like that
Did it myself 😊if you want to give it a go too, the video for it is here ruclips.net/video/g2UQnX1BcFQ/видео.html
My cupra r has 4 pot brakes with the side skirts yours should have the side skirts
Is your one a UK spec car? I think some different versions were available depending what countries sold them. UK cars didn't offer the Cupra R with side skirts from the factory sadly.
@@NorthCoastWorkshop yes I spaced it out when I bought it has side skirts everything except the door cards that you have are different looking for an armrest can’t really find any
@@NorthCoastWorkshop what mileage is your car now
Ah I didn't realise it could be spec'd on them, my mistake. My car has just hit 110,000 miles last week 🙈
@@NorthCoastWorkshop mines still going stock 60k candy white shame it hasn’t got sunroof
Fascinating reading of a local doing the five hundred. Not surprised you are driving cars and not a house on wheels. Enjoy the single tracks along the way and give us a pap on the horn when you drive past. We are thinking we have seen a few less motor homes this year. More renter vehicles, but less of them in total. Is this the beginning of some small lifting of the motor home single track torment we have suffered for so long? Life could be just too easy if suddenly motor homes and single tracks don’t happen more!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment on the video. Where roughly do you live on the route? Day 2 and day 3 finishing off the complete NC500 are live on the channel if you want to see the rest of the adventure. We absolutely loved it!! Was way better than we could have ever imagined, and a brilliant experience that now lives on RUclips forever 😊
I’m on my 4th mk2 Leon now 🫣got a k1 now
Nice one!! 🔥K1's getting super rare nowadays, so good job getting a hold of one.👌🏻
Great video as always and I found out from your video you can put your parcel shelf on the boot floor 👍🏻 I have just bought a Leon fr 550 in white ❤ Thanks again for your brilliant videos Kev it’s a credit to you your yellow Cupra r 👍🏻👍🏻
Sounds like a very rare purchase Tim, as I'm sure the 550's are a special edition of some sorts. And you're very welcome, cheers for the very kind words 😊👍🏻
In Britain do you think we should all go for 0w rather than 5w given the choice? Seems you'd always want thinner oil to circulate faster and provide less friction on cold starts. I've just changed the oil in my 2.0 VW tdi and the 5w30 is giving noticeably worse mpg than the previously deisel-diluted, considerably thinner oil.
Zero would be too thin for the engine. The first number is how thin it is when cold, and at zero, older engines wouldn't have sufficient protection when starting cold, and components would wear out extremely quickly. Newer engines have been designed with tolerances to handle thinner oil, like 0w20. Having 5w30 in ur engine means once ur up to operating temperature, the oil is thinner than if you had 5w40 in at the exact same temperature. Hope that makes sense 👍🏻
@@NorthCoastWorkshop I only just bought the car and put in VW 507 - 5w30 because it was the most common result when searching which oil I needed, but now I see there's a VW approved 507 - 0w30, so I'm thinking there seems to be only positives in choosing the latter next time. But I've got plenty of time to think about it.
Hey, do you know by any chance how to change the tail lights from LED to Halogen? I bought different Led taillights and the break lights instead of the normal ones are activated now.
I'm not too sure I'm afraid. Are they genuine SEAT led taillights? I take it you mean the bright brake lights up lit up even when the brake isn't activated? So the bright and dim rear lights are working back to front in a way.
I am going to give this a go!
Let me know how u get on Alex 👍🏻 Updated video below, 👇🏻 with the back door method included too if you ever need to check back ok it ruclips.net/video/VnzBmuJu_n4/видео.html
Just come across this video as I have been looking at GFB DV+ for my Alfa, back in the "old school" days I ran a GFB DV+ on my 2014 Cupra 280 which was APR Stage 2 at 420ps, previous to this car I had a MK2 LCR in Yellow that I loved (KS10 EFW)
Your MK3 sounds like it was a weapon 💪🏻🔥 And your MK2's registration looks familiar. I'm sure a lot of the early press release cars were KS10 reg's. Great taste in cars you have 😁👍🏻 What Alfa do u have now?
do they work on the m256 AMG53 engine ?
You'd have to check the GFB website to see if your vehicles engine is listed, as I'm not 100% sure
One of the little mods I have done with my floor mats is new ones with a yellow trim around the edges and it looks really swish!
Good shout Alex 👍🏻 I wouldn't trust myself in keeping the yellow trim clean enough 😅 so I settle for boring plain black mats now 🤓
I currently have the door issue, so I will give that fix a go!
Let me know how it goes, the full how to vid can be found here if you haven't already seen it 👍🏻 ruclips.net/video/VnzBmuJu_n4/видео.html
Very nice video and a very nice Seat Cupra R!
Thank you 😊🙏🏻
Where did you buy the engine cover fromV
It's from a company called Creation Motorsport 👍🏻

Great video as always Kev - nice fun one. I have to agree the seatbelt rattle for an unoccupied front seat is just plain annoying. I also find the Bluetooth audio when taking a call is really poor, it could be the microphone placement or the wiring of it from the RNS310. Wheel hop can be a struggle in 1st/2nd if pushing hard, but manageable and oh my the gloss black seat covers get marred and scuffed easy, need to get them sorted. Speaking of gloss black, another annoyance on the outside is the gloss black trim around the car, that gets scratched easy... Overall, it is a cracking car and has a bit of USP compared to the VAG options of its time - so for me its an MK2 LCR over the others 😁
Yes!! 😊 A true LCR fan like myself!! 😁 Really I should have had at least "10 annoying things about this car!" 😂😂
Spot on Kev, the rattling from the passenger belt
Whenever the Mrs has been sat in the car I need to lean over and raise it afterwards!! Does my head in 😂😂
Great vid, my rear side windows really annoy me as well, looking at a wrap solution. Your R sounds great, my 2.0 FR is pretty quiet to me but apparently sounds pretty good from outside. Little thing but i also really appreciate the 2 stage door opening, when you open the door is pretty useful if close to a wall. You're right about XDS makes a great difference. I specced the armrest from new about £100 well worth having, one of the legs on mine snapped though about 10years ago, so i rarely open it now 😂 having one does mean it needs to be open to access the cup holders. Love my FR popping the OE BBS wheels on next week would prob only change for a very good R.
Yeah the armrest design was a strange one, but it definitely looks good and is handy to have. You spec'd a £100 investment back then 😂 they're silly money nowadays!!! 🙈 And excellent points you made throughout Rob. As for sound I had a much better clip of it popping a little more and sounding a bit more aggressive, but during the edit I realised I hadn't recorded any sound 🙈 so a last minute clip from my NC500 road trip where I was revving the Cupra in a car park 😂
in one of your videos you mentioned if u want a car that aways has something to work on get yourself a leon ,u was right 😅
😂😂😂 wish I wasn't right, but yeah they give you plenty of practice at working on DIY mechanical skills 😂🙈
Very random Q.. Do you play Pubg PC? 😂😂 LoVe the vids
😊👍🏻Thank you, and no I'm sorry I don't play PubG, or have a Gaming PC. Occasionally play cod on the PS5, but even then that's not very often these days 😔

New gfb is better than oem dv? Is the best solution an oem RevG. dv with gfb dv+ adaprer installed?
That's a very strong combination, but I'd suggest the following.... If your car is running standard tune/boost then a revision G is perfectly adequate and definitely an upgrade from the C or D revisions. If you have a tuned car or plan to tune it, and increase the boost, a GFB DV+ will be the perfect upgrade, make sure u buy it from a trustworthy site, and it can be combined with the solenoid of your current diverter valve, no matter what revision it is, as long as the solenoid part is working. It's not necessary to buy a upgraded diverter valve as well, just to rob the solenoid from it. Hope that helps a bit 👍🏻
@@NorthCoastWorkshopThank You for your reply. My car has a hybrid turbo and is on the stage3 map. My current dv rev D. valve. D has a plastic piston, it probably has a pressure leak at the beginning in the low rpm range. Dv rev. G is an old version with a rubber piston - they are tight but are often damaged. I ordered gfb dv+, I will mount it to my rev D and I will share information on how it works. Best Regards😊
No problem at all, and yes let me know how u get on it 👍🏻 Sounds like you have quite a car as well 💪🏻😎🔥
@@NorthCoastWorkshopI need your help. I installed dv+, there is a significant improvement in acceleration response. The problem is the "foal:-) " sound of the air being released. Such psssytytyty! Does it damage the turbo rotor? I don't know if I can drive like that?
It's just the way they operate and the sound is a product of how they sit in that sweet spot for better response. My one does it and I've just gotten used to it, but if it's something you can't live with day to day, a standard DV may be the only solution. There's arguments on both sides whether it is fine or does do any damage to the turbo. I have had no issues whatsoever for the past 3 years of mine, but that's not me offering any guarantee for other owners I'm afraid.
Brilliant video. I was looking to sell my Cupra 2010 but I think i might hold off and go down the upgrade route. I need a new head unit to replace the dodgy Ebay unbranded android model I purchased. I will stick to a known brand for my next one as, although it looks good, the sound quality is bad. Looking to go for stage 2 so I am looking for the upgrade components that you highlighted. These options and your advice is all good. Thanks
I'm glad the video was of use to you Mark 😊 and glad to hear ur hanging on to your Cupra a wee while longer 😅 All the best with the upgrades, and let me know how you get on 👍🏻
@@NorthCoastWorkshop yes. Just found a tuning company not a million miles from me. Just getting prices. Like the styling on your Cupra. 👍
Thanks mate, it's my pride and joy 😁 Looking forward to hear what you do with your one. If you want to show it off, I'm always looking for car features for my free monthly newsletter 😉
I just installed front parking lights in LED. They stay on for about 5 secounds and then turn off. I dont think I need a ”relay”? Typically you need a relay when you put LED blinkers instead of halogen, but I didnt? Is it a bad ground with the front parking light?
If they stay on for 5 seconds consistently then turn off I'd say that's the cars electronic system taking control of that.
@@NorthCoastWorkshop Yeah I got it figured. It was the canbus-system not liking my non canbus led.
Fitted the same yellow one a week ago no vibrations or any issues solved my problem
Ah, that's great to hear Kevin!👍🏻 Yeah I have a red one fitted now and isn't too bad. Mostly the vibration is when reversing up off my driveway. Out the road it's all good though.
Thank you man for this useful video! After 9 year that I bought my Cupra R, finally I have done this work today because I was tired to have the spark plugs oxidized. Regards from Italy! 👋
Ah that's excellent, great to hear and thank you for watching the video 😊👍🏻
For anyone that does this job and replaces the hoses as well careful with the brake boost hose it runs along the thicker bottom hose and is easy to knock off I was pulling my hair out wondering why my idle got worse after fixing it till I seen it was off

I use 5w40 505.01 on my mk4 tdi. I don't know only should I use acea a3/b4 or C3 ?
I'm not sure on the other specs you listed, but as long as it states the 505.01 spec for your TDI, that oil should be fine to use. 507 would be for your engines fitted with a DPF which I guess the MK4 never had
Nice video mate...... I wonder how the leon would fare against a 205 diesel..... I've heard those are rapid! 😂😉
I think the 205 TD was placed way up the leaderboard out of sight!! 😅 Maybe a stage 2 and I'd have a better chance!! 💪🏻
Never under any circumstances should you mix 2 stroke with E10. I tried it for two years, and the engine keeps bogging out, when you use the full throttle!
Good to know Peter, cheers 👍🏻 Is this for a strimmer or similar powered machinery?
@@NorthCoastWorkshop NEVER use regular petrol for making a 2 stroke mix. I have damaged 4 machines in the 2 years, that I have been using mixture made with regular petrol.
Great help, exactly what has happend to my car after the dealership did a Carbon clean..... They damaged the seal on the back of the injector, leaks a lot..... They are not gonna be in a good mood after they have talked to me again......
Sorry to hear that they've caused that issue, but glad the vid helped a bit with diagnosing the issue u were having. Hopefully it all gets sorted for you mate 🤞🏻
Whats the name of the vid on re spraying the front end called? ty
Confession..... I've still not edited and put it together to release yet I'm afraid 🙈 I have all the footage, I just need to knuckle down and get it done. It will be a video at some point, just that other filming and editing got in the way, so left it on the hard drive for the moment 😅
Do the clock spring have to be the same letter different at the end
I've been told they do have to match exactly yes,
Cupra R is still a beauty of a car! I do miss mine
Go on, buy one back mate..... One of us, one of us!! 😅

Those are some good numbers. Congrats. Btw, do you happen to know how much tuning can a 1.8 TSI - 160 bhp take? I'm trying to find some solid info online but most ppl seem to be driving 2.0 ones. I was hoping, you might have heard something from the folks you spend time with and talk shop. Thanks!
Thanks mate 😁👍🏻 And yeah the 1.8's aren't talked about as much and have limited mods available. A pretty much standard practice for a little extra power from any Turbo engine is a free-er flowing exhaust system, air intake where universal, made to measure, or adapted from a 2.0 and "made to fit", with a remap done on the car afterwards. If u have a reputable nearby tuner with a rolling road, they should definitely be able to get you a good few extra BHP than standard. There will be a limitation to what the internals of ur engine can handle, so if you are looking for big gains, a change of engine is the next expensive step sadly.
