GOOOODDDD EVENING ALLLLLLLL,

I have literally just purchased a Leon Cupra R (as in ten mins ago) and was curious about why there are 2 buttons with fuel emblems on it. Obviously 1 releases the money pit but im unsure what the second one is for.

PLEASE HEEELLLPPPP :(

Congrats on the car, and welcome to the forum. :)

Could it be that the ESP on/off button broke and was replaced with the wrong one?
You don't state what year it is though..

It turns out that my car is an ex Essex police interceptor therefor the button has been put there to cover up a hole :)

If its ex police, does that mean they've tuned it, or do they keep em standard now? Or de-tune it when its decomissioned or whatever?

my dad had an ex cop car and they de-tune them but they are very well looked after.
they cant afford for the car to break down mid chase so they r always in the garage doing inspections.

hell yeh you should see this service record, it was services every 2 months, YES EVERY 2 MONTHS, all filters, oil and plugs, however it will have been ragged and yes it would have been re-mapped but they are not allowed to sell them like that they have to put them back to factory standards. :)

shame that many moons ago a mate of mine had an ex police car (ford escort) that had been tuned and still was when he got it ;)
