    1.8TSI Clutch Warranty

    Hi guys, I remember the thread on here last year regarding clutch slip and warranty related work on the 1.8TSI Cupra... I've recently started to notice my clutch is slipping, I was just wondering how you guys (or anyone else) got on with SEAT regarding the warranty? I know that the clutch is...

    Rear Windscreen Washer Stopped Working

    The rear windscreen washer has stopped working in my Ibiza Cupra (posting here as the MK5 Ibiza forum is dead and I imagine there isn't much difference when it comes to washer jets) I noticed over the past couple of weeks the water was coming out at a weird angle rather than centrally, it...

    Best lowering springs for high motorway mileage

    I'm looking in to buying some lowering springs for my 1.8TSI Cupra 6P as it sits way too high as standard - However, I do a lot of motorway miles (40 miles per day), some city driving as well as parking in a multi-storey car park which is pretty steep for work. I'm looking for a decent drop...

    Vinyl Front Plate

    Do I or don't I? Is this legal or not? It's reflective, it'll be in clear view, it has the correct size and font, the only thing I'm wary of is the spacing around the edges Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    1.8TSI Cupra MPG

    I just thought I'd share that I got 465 miles out of my tank last week (filled with 52L of Tesco's Super-Unleaded), also got a 53 MPG read out on my 22 mile commute. Very impressed with the usability and overall performance of the car, pretty sure I never got those kind of figures in my...

    1.8TSI Cupra Black Exhaust Crack/Backfire

    Hi, I initially posted this in the Ibiza mk5 forum for obvious reasons however haven't had any response, probably due to the fact there's only a handful of 1.8TSI Cupra owners. So I was wondering if any of you 1.8TSI Leon mk3 owners have experienced this. Basically I booted it in first...

    Ibiza Cupra 6J Facelift (1.8TSI) SC Rear Spoiler

    Seeing as though SERE are no longer supplying parts (unfortunately the day I was about to purchase!) and local SEAT garage prices are astronomical, where can I get an official rear spoiler? Alternatively, are there any good quality and widely used third party spoilers? Photos would be...

    Ibiza Cupra (6P) reversible exhaust modification

    Does anyone know of a relatively cheap and easily reversible exhaust modification? I know that an entire exhaust replacement is reversible but I'm thinking of something more subtle for the time being. I'd also be looking for something which doesn't drone on the motorway as I do quite a bit of...

    Driving to work this morning my tyre pressure warning light came on, when I got to work I inspected the tyre and couldn't see anything visibly wrong with it or noticeable deflation.

    Reserved a 1.8TSI Cupra Black

    Just put my deposit down on a white 1.8TSI Cupra Black. It's a 66 plate ex-demo with 700 miles on it, got it for £14,000 + £90 delivery fee, which I believe is a ridiculously good deal. Hopefully going to go and look at it on the weekend and purchase if all is well. Is there anything I should...

    Cupra 280/290 real world mpg

    I can imagine that this has probably been covered in another thread somewhere, so apologies if this is duplicate. Point me to another thread if so! I was just wondering what mpg could I expect from a used (as in engine has already bedded in etc) 280/290. I do around 16,000 miles a year (I...

    Is this a speed camera?

    I know this isn't Leon or even SEAT related but I'm hoping somebody knows what this is! Two of them have popped up on country lanes (50 zones) near my house, right next to where it goes down to 30. They're relatively busy roads I guess but not a place you'd usually see generic traffic CCTV...
