No, it's from a Skoda specialist. It's for the manual (Says not for DSG) but perfectly fits the DSG straight out of the box with same fittings. I'd seen others who bought it for their DSG Leon so it wasn't a risk.

Nice one, thanks. I've got a 2019 Leon Cupra Lux as well so will fit just right.
Only reason its 'not for DSG' is that normally the DSG pedal is wider.

Inreality a manual dead pedal will fit a DSG car, but a DSG dead pedal wouldn't work for a manual car.

As it happens I'm getting a custom light up one for mine. I could get the larger DSG version of that, but I prefer the narrower manual one I have at the moment. Give me more room between the brake pedal and dead pedal if I needed to stretch my leg out fully on a long drive.

I prefer the extra space too. No need for a huge rest plate and looks nicer in my opinion. Very happy with the quality of this one that I got and it fit perfectly.

Yeah I got the Ali Express version, needed a trim on the hook (not seen when fitted), but from what I understand is that the BriSkoda ones (who I think developed it) show that they have been trimmed already.

Looking forward to the light up one (not the bit you place you put your foot on).

Saturday:
Spent all day prepping the paint work for a ceramic coating. As soon as I finished the coating it started raining :rolleyes: oh well will just give it another coat when it's dry again :)

Today:
Received the VW fan jet washers after seeing the pos ton here, took 5 mins to fit and such a big improvement.

Next:
Going to grab one of those metal foot rests :)

It was pre trimmed like you said.
Do you have any pics of what you've ordered?

Not yet no, I want the manual version again, so only seen mock ups of how I want it. But here is a DSG in metal:

A guy called Dave Mayfield is making them :)
Looks good to me and no doubt even better in the slim line format.

Tried to figure out why my washer bottle pump wasn’t working. Did a diagnostic with OBDEleven and it informed me of an electrical fault with the washer pump. Checked the fuse (No19 in the Engine bay, and swapped it for a new one) and it appears the fuse is ok.

Looks like it’s a faulty washer pump so off to my local dealer to get it looked at under warranty.

One thing I have noticed on my 2017 CUPRA is that I have no empty washer bottle warning system. Which I thought was strange.

have you checked the connection to the pump itself just to make sure no water has got in there.

Not being mechanically minded I don’t actually know where the pump is and even if I can get to it without removing other items.

Just ring my local dealer and the Service Manager tells me the fuse for the system is in the Glovebox Fuse Box but I’m having trouble finding out which one it is.

according to online, it’s fuse 19 in the engine bay as you’ve said. So the service department seems to be wrong?

Yeah I agree with you all. Checked that fuse and it’s ok. Replaced it with another 30A fuse and tried again with no improvement. I can only assume it’s a fault with the washer pump.
