If you leave it in Cupra and restart, the engine will be in comfort. Even if you then pull back on the gearstick, it puts the gearbox into 'sport' but the engine is still in comfort - you can tell as there's no pops and bangs on overrun.Select CUPRA mode as standard and leave the gearbox in Drive. That way when you pull back on the DSG stick you get full CUPRA mode. (For CUPRA mode, DSG will read sport) That’s how I have it, Car is just a little tweak from full CUPRA but allows me to take it easy when I want to.
Other than that look at Individual mode.

When I select Cupra mode my DSG always shows as Sport (S1,2,3 etc). Should this display C1,2,3 etc? Am I doing something wrong?

No always displays as either E, D or S.When I select Cupra mode my DSG always shows as Sport (S1,2,3 etc). Should this display C1,2,3 etc? Am I doing something wrong?
This has been said before, but I get farts, pops and bangs anytime I'm in S mode regardless of engine setting (I don't use eco). Even get farts in D if I wind it out enough.If you leave it in Cupra and restart, the engine will be in comfort.

Apart from throttle response, cupra makes no difference to the engine bar the sound actuator
Yep like I said throttle response for engineAccording to the SEAT manual
Engine
Depending on the profile selected, the engine responds more spontaneously or more in harmony with the movements of the accelerator.
Additionally, when Eco mode is selected, the Start-stop function is automatically activated.
In vehicles with automatic transmission, the gear change points are modified to position them in lower or higher engine speed ranges.
Additionally, the Eco1) mode activates the Inertia function, enabling consumption to be further reduced.
In manual gearbox vehicles, Eco1) mode causes the gear change recommendation indications that appear on the instrument panel to
vary, facilitating more efficient driving.
Dynamic chassis control (DCC)
DCC continuously adapts the shock absorbers to the condition of the road and current driving conditions, according to the pre-set
programme.
Power Steering
Becomes more robust in Sport mode to enable a sportier driving style. In the Leon Cupra the power steering becomes
more robust in Cupra mode.
Air conditioning
In vehicles with Climatronic, this can operate
in eco1) mode, especially restricting fuel consumption.
So yes it does only change the the throttle response but in turn for most users this means the car feels more powerful / responsive / aggressive etc. And lets face it most users turn off the structure-borne noise actuator:
Changing throttle response can require quite a lot of changes to engine management. Fuel mapping, throttle mapping, ignition mapping for a start. Probably more than putting a tuning box on.Apart from throttle response, cupra makes no difference to the engine bar the sound actuator
Agreed but when data logs have been posted before of people changing modes, hardly any of these come into play as the data just doesn't change at all in the logsChanging throttle response can require quite a lot of changes to engine management. Fuel mapping, throttle mapping, ignition mapping for a start. Probably more than putting a tuning box on.
It not just a matter of opening the throttle body/s earlier and wider.
