hi all just thought i would drop in here as it looks like i will be loitering around here for a while now.
just picked up from as the title sugests a leon FR tdi with BTCC kit after trading in my RX. at the moment im loving it but dont ask me to compaire the two as there two totally diffrent tins of beans if you know what i mean. the hardest part getting use to is the low red line and must remeber that it dosnt go all the way upto 10500 like the old RX did.
one quick help question how the heck do you remove the roof arial can get it too unscrew so far then thats it..... thanks for the help
any way just to say

Nice car, what engine ?
Mate has the 2.0TDi 170ps version, same engine as my A4 and can be remapped to around 210.
The bee sting aerial unscrews, if you can't get it by hand try a pair of pliers BUT wrap a cloth round the aerial itself and watch how munch you pinch it, should come off easy enough.

Not that I'm aware of, the thread may be chewed, try pulling it towards you while continuing to unscrew it.
I've fitted the following remap to mine, plenty on the market though.

Hi,
My aerial does the same - unscrews and then seems to just 'spin' on the thread. Apparently this is an anti-theft consideration, as the aerials aint cheap!
If you're trying to remove to drive through the car wash, I simply lossen, lay it flat, and tighten again so it's locked flat against the rear spoiler. Not lost it yet!
Hope that helps

They are nice cars, Sold Seat for 2 years locally here and had a red FR 170 as a company car for a small while and loved it, with the 18's on it was quite rigid but I like that so it didn't bother me. The ariel doesn't remove as such it just loosens and flops down so enable it to be driven through a car was or whatever as someone else said. Just make sure you don't loose any of the plastic vents on the rear or front bumper as they are quite expensive.
