Has anyone tried a tuning box or chip on the latest Seat Leon 150 TDI?
I was thinking about getting a plug in box from Chip Express, as I used their product on a SD4 Freelander and it made a huge improvement (it took it up to 250bhp).

If so have you got any feedback?

Thanks

I had an 05' plate 1.9 TDi "FR" it was the Mark 1 model
I had it remapped up to 197bhp (Rolling road proved) made a hell of a difference, more power & torque much better fuel economy, but watch if you get a remap or tuning box that it does not trash your clutch.
As mine did, also some certain chips make the car run different but puts a fault light on the dash ( my mate bought a tuning box off eBay)
But yes much better fuel & power so go for it mate

Thank you for your input,
I was aware that some Chip boxes are a bit unreliable and I must admit that the one I had on my Freelander when turned up to full whack, did make a warning light come on (although it only seemed to come on when my wife used it and when away once I had given it a good hard drive! laugh ) apart from that it never caused a problem.

Regarding the clutch, that was one of the reasons I was asking if anyone had tried it on the new(mk3?) model.

Look on cupranet, pretty sure there are a number of people on there who've had their Mk 3 Leon Tdi mapped. Alternatively Briskoda or one of the Golf/A3 forums, as it's the same engine in them all.
