Passed my MOT with no problems or advisories. And it was free. But I bought a natty SEAT key ring for a fiver.

Cheers,

Got my car serviced by VAG Manchester :) - can not recommend these guys enough! Lots more work coming their way too - including fitting the Racingline intercooler.

Got my car back after having the side skirts and spoiler fitted, there was a slight issue with the spoiler fitment when I picked it up yesterday so I had to take it back to the body shop. It's all sorted now and I am very happy with it.

Got mine back from Yelverton VAG Specialists after a PCV Valve Replacement & a new Coil pack to fix a misfire. - Cracking garage, lovely guys.

I’ve literally just bought one too... I thought there was a way show the launch control count but I can’t find it. Just looking for curiosity to be honest.

If you find it in there let me know as I was looking in my lunch break so was rushing.

Had a quick play with the Carista app...

Turned the Soundaktor off. It was worth the £15 just for that, One click mirror fold and beep on lock/ unlock

I also had the daily mental battle with resisting a stage 1 ecu remap, open to arguments for and against

I'd love the single click mirror fold. So it's only 15 quid? I'm going to grab one then. VCDS is over 200.

Cheers,

Yeah £15 for the connector from amazon. Then it’s £33 for a year subscription but you get a month free so change all you want then cancel the subscription if you want.

Oh what cable is it? The hex one? The dealer gave me a couple of cables though I don't know what they are.

Is Soundaktor only installed in the Cupra? My engine sounds good when revved, well from the inside anyway.



Cheers,



I believe they are in the FR too. I think the FR diesel has a slightly different system that works from the exhaust rather than the engine bay

I believe that it's in the 1.8 TSI (not the 1.4 though) and the 2.0 TDI as well as in CUPRAs.

Deleted stop/start on my Cupra300 what a relief as it was doing my head in. Debating upping the Diff setting but think I will put some decent tyres on first and see what I think.
