Seat Leon ETKA?
 
Can anyone with such a tool get me some piccies of the front end please? I'm interested in a bracket that attaches the front OSF wing to the inner wing.

I have a CAT C crashed one one these i'm putting back on the road (hopefully)

Anyhelp with piccies and torque settings for suspension part would be gratefully recieved :o

Hope this helps, you did not say which year it was so I took a gamble and picture is for 2002. The picture is from ETKA but tightening torques would be in ELSA and I have not loaded SEAT data in ELSA, I will have a look if I still have data files for SEAT. And it only shows it from one side but it should be symmetrical on other side I would imagine.

Part number is bracket 5 is
1M0 821 135 right side and
1M0 821 136 left side

price £5.99 each but my prices have not been updated for about half year so could be slightly off.

Ah yeah the year, yo were spot on near enough mate, 51 plate.

Also that is the very bracket i will give TPS a call.

Would it be a real pain for you to add the picies of the front suspension too?

Wife has had a bit of a prang :(

Well here it is just after the prang
http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1347007193

and the strip down begins, as you can see from the first pic the suspension is bent, it's actually the hub casting thats bent.
http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1347007193

suspension replaced just door, wing and intercooler to go (i think) quite supprised how heavy the doors are, that or i'm becoming a fairy (thought i'd get that in before CTL :D)

start of a business
 
you look like you are doing quite well there Dezzy....especially like the tyre for safety....good old trick....

At least I know where to go if i have an accident now.:)

Dezzy 8th September 2012 08:10 AM

Thanks Ranj, Dezzy's accident repair centre or DARC. It's got a ring to it but i'm not sure i'd want to do it for a living, or that could be because i don't have all the tools.
My jack has never let me down but i always put a wheel under to save my squishy head just in case +++

Jack
 
For temporary jobs I suppose ok but I have to say a few years back I taking a mini metro apart. I failed miserably and the car ended up standing for about 3 months without a wheel....luckily the car was on a stand as the jack that was holding it up had slowly loss pressure and come down....so always use axle stand especially cos when ur messing with suspension it needs an extra bang or swing occasionally.

The annoying thing is it takes me an absolute age trying to work out a jacking point without damaging something.

Out of curiousity does anyone actually know if the tyre under the car actually works?????

DARC vadar may the force be with you!!!!
