Description from the seller, in Finnish.

Seat Leon 1M 1.8T AUQ – 220hv Myyntiin harrastehenkisesti rakennettu Seat Leon 1M 1.8T AUQ. Tästä hyvä pohja seuraavalle harrastajalle – 1.8T-tekniikka, manuaali ja jo valmiiksi tehtyjä päivityksiä. Moottorina 1.8T AUQ, johon on tehty ohjelma noin 220hv tehoille. Autossa on 440 cc suuttimet ja K03S-ahdin. Pakopuolta on avarrettu 3" downpipella ilman katalysaattoria, ja imupuolella on kartiosuodatin. Tekniikka / muutokset 1.8T AUQ Noin ~220hv K03S-ahdin 440 cc suuttimet Ohjelmoitu ECU hardcut ja pops and bang tarvittaessa saa suuttimia myöden vakioksi. 3" downpipe Katalysaattori poistettu Kartiosuodatin Ahtopainemittari 6-vaihteinen manuaali Etuveto Autossa on siis jo valmiiksi tehtynä sellaisia muutoksia, joilla vakio 1.8T:stä saa huomattavasti pirteämmän. 220hv tekee Leonista jo varsin mukavan ripeän käyttöauton. Auto on ajokuntoinen ja tekniikka toimii, mutta kyseessä ei ole uusi auto eikä täysin vakio yksilö. Mittarissa noin 330 tkm, mutta 1.8T:n tekniikka on edelleen hyvin käyttökelpoinen ja autosta saa vielä hyvän projektin esimerkiksi tehokkaampaan K04-rakennelmaan tai nykyisellään käyttöön. Korin ja sisustan osalta kyseessä on ikäisekseen perus siisti Leon. Tästä edullisesti 1.8T Leon, jossa on jo valmiiksi tehtynä virityksiä eikä tarvitse aloittaa projektia täysin nollasta. Lisätietoja, kuvia ja tarkempi lista tehdyistä töistä saa kysymällä. Vaihdossa kiinnostaa takavetoiset farmarit mutta kaikkea saa yrittää.
