I hear a lot of people complaining about vibrations on the dashboard when in cupra mode due to the sound actor thingy...

That would annoy the hell out of me, can anyone shed some light on this? Understand this can be coded to completely off or a lower % however would this mean I would have issues later down the line when I give it back as it's going to be a lease? Guess this can be turnt back to its original state but is there any trace of it being changed?

And would something like that need to be reported to insurance as a 'change' to the car?

I believe there’s a setting on the screen that needs to be set for mirror folding, not sure where though!

Just did this on mine, in car settings option for mirrors just tick the box, also setup the reverse mirror fold down as well very handy option.

Don't believe can be seen on changes plus no one will know/care...

Has anyone that ordered end of Jan received their cars yet? Ordered a non lux in mystery blue and still have no further indications of when it will be delivered other than the estimated date of 18th April given when booking.

Hi, I’ve had mine for two weeks tomorrow & covered just short of 1700 miles. It’s the first I’ve heard of this issue and something that hasn’t been even remotely an issue on my 5dr. Not sure about ST. I also was spooked with stories around the sound actuator & was ready & poised to get it disabled. Can’t say it has even remotely bothered me and I even like it. I think it pumps in sound from the engine rather than creating fake engine sounds, might be wrong but that’s what I’ve picked up from reading SEAT literature. I’m leaving it alone now & just enjoying the car very much.

I've just been emailed the same. Do you know which dealer they are using as i would prefer picking mine up

Hi, I have a Cupra Lux on order from them and I have literally just tonight dropped off my plate retention document at DM Keith Skoda in Leeds as mine is due in next week. Given DM Keith don't have a Seat dealer in Leeds I suspect the car will be PDIed at a non-customer facing PDI facility (lots of the big chains have these) with registration being handled by the Skoda garage and therefore probably won't entertain collection. I am going to ask the question though as if its York they actually get the car into its not much of a job gathering it up. Won't drive all the way to Leeds or Grimsby though.

After a few weeks of deliberating I have decided to change my order on my CupraLux ST from Nevada White to Magnetic Grey.

I’d been umm and ahhing since ordering it on 23rd Feb.
Phoned up dealers and asked if they could, and also if it would set my order to back of any queue, they ‘simulated’ the change first on the system and confirmed it was possible - so I went for it.
It’s scheduled for build week 18 (end of April) now after doing the change, but they did stress that this hasn’t been confirmed yet by the factory.
If that build date does get confirmed then dealer said I’d be expecting car early June.

Can’t wait

There was a ship that docked into Grimsby Yesterday. There is also a ship (Pegasus Ace) on it's way back to Barcelona via Santander. I am hoping my car will be on this one as it is in Barcelona waiting to be shipped.

If its just left the factory you'll see it in 3 weeks.

I spoke to Seat today and they said my Cupra is in Grimsby. How long until it arrives as the dealer usually? I have been working off an ETA of 22nd April but should I expect it to be earlier than this now?

Mine landed in Grimsby (BW8) and is currently sitting at the compound awaiting delivery to the dealership.

They reckon it'll arrive next Tuesday at DM Keith so I suggested collecting it on the Friday. Leasing Options came back real quick with '' wouldn't make any arrangements until you're notified' which doesn't bring much confidence to it arriving Tuesday.

Maybe fiffdiffe dealers and lease companies telling different stores or is it Seat themselves you are talking to?

ive only ever had contact with avc although with the plate i can guess the dealer, soooo close i can almost smell it.
