Without sounding noisy whatsbthe price of these??

[AndrewJB]

Fully loaded about 29k RRP, Can be got for about 26k

IIRC its a IHI turbo set up, exactly the same as the S3/R just tuned down slightly.

The APR software isn't avaialble yet at the moment I dont think, still testing and the DSG TCU is going to be even longer I think

Look great Andrew  

Really smart car, looking forward to some interior shots  

This.

Seat have gone leaps and bounds with the interior on the newer models in my opinion. Used to be a major put off for me because they looked dated inside compared to the Golf. But now, the new Leon's look awesome and the 280 is the same price as the MK7 GTi pretty much!

Currently got a MK3 Leon FR TDI and its so much nicer than the 2x MK2 leon's I had.

So the day finally came.. Finished my 12 hour night shifts yesterday and had about 4 hours sleep then started what has turned into 7.5 hours worth of driving (few minor detours)

9am this morning

On the way home I managed to get 36.7mpg (over 213 miles), heres a quick shot showing a similar mpg

It's the big sticky up yellow thing on the left-hand side of the engine.

Some audis don't have a dipstick in the engine (true).... The dipstick is usually found in the drivers seat.
