I parked in the supermarket car park, far away from the usual crowd of SUV's with children etc. I return to find this on the top rear wing [emoji2959] I went to my local chips away guys and he's confident he can do a point to point repair. If not, a full blending job including the bumper...

Hey folks, I collected the car from our dealer after having the Aircon condenser and water pump replaced (thread elsewhere on this debacle) I've not really been in the engine bay much but whilst checking the coolant level. I've noticed a couple of things. My car is a late 2018 290 GPF Cupra...

My Cupra 290 had it's thermostat housing replaced a couple of months ago due to a leak. The car was just out of warranty but the dealer/Seat repaired free of charge. I was happy until I took the car back in for an Aircon fault. Upon inspection I was notified that the water pump is now leaking...

I know a lot of us are using Premium fuel in our cars. What have you guys being paying in your area? I had to top up in an Esso at £1.859 for their golden elixer known as Synergy+ in Perth. I just put £20 in to get me home before topping up with the faithful Tesco Momentum 99 at Bathgate, West...

I had our car in for it's 2nd year service and was given a MK4 Cupra Leon. I'm a little unsure of the overall experience. I really don't like the way everything is integrated into the infotainment system but there is an impressive list of tech on the thing! I don't think the material quality...

It's insurance renewal time for me and the usual inflated price has come through! I've done all the usual searches and comparison sites. It seems like an extra £100 on the policy! I've lowered the milage and taking the commuting off as I'm taking the van home now. Anyone else getting such...

My dealer has a demo hybrid Leon in 1st edition FR form. Gonna have a go myself next week even though I waiting for a Cupra. I'll give you my thoughts after driving it. Tbh I'm not expecting much as the previous model near enough nailed it. Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk

After a a decent drive in my 2018 290 (GPF) Cupra, I had to top up the windscreen wash bottle. I noticed that there was very little coolant in the reservoir but dismissed it as it was I had the car on a good run and it would settle when cool. Upon checking after sitting for 24 hours the...

I've kept my car topped up with Shell V-Power. Due to this mis-informed lock down, how long does the fuel last in our tanks before the fuel quality starts breaking down? The fuel stations will start closing due to lack of demand and premium fuel maybe at risk. Not to mention 'panic' buying...

Hey guys, I've popped over from the Leon section. I've seen a tidy Ibiza Cupra for sale from my local dealer at a good price. Looking for a second car for the better half. It's a 1.8 TSi, it looks like a little stormer of a car for the size. Anything to look out for? Does it put the power...

My Cupra has now done 13k and without any service indicator. I'm sure it's on 'long life' service according to the service menu. Anyways, I've booked it in for a service next week, the question is, do we trust VAG group long life servicing on a Cupra? Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk

It's time my MY19 Cupra got some new boots! I've heard horror stories about the stock Continental tyres wearing out fast! I've now done 10k and the tyres seem to be okay! I've had this new 290 for a year, checked the tread and the fronts are on 4mm on fronts and 6 on the rear. Anyways, I've...

I was at the dealership for some bits and bobs and whilst there I was magically introduced to a brand new Ateca Cupra! It had a new glass type touch screen from the Arona/Ibiza as well as some tasty alcantara seats along with the Beats sound system along with the usual high specs! I was so...

Dunno about you guys, I was hovering around the comparison sites for insurance as I'm due to renew soon and I was shocked! Last year's price was £250 (with AXA) for myself and wife commuting with 10k mileage. Done the usual pre renewal search and it came up with this!!! Sent from my Moto G...

Hey folks, I'm preparing for a long journey and need to top up the oil level a little. Does anyone know if the oil spec has changed with the GPF engine update? The car has only just hit 8k so it's still on the factory oil (I'll be expecting the reminder to pop up soon!) I know I need certain...

I thought the the Leon was a 'mid sized' car! It seems very compact in the work car park next to a 308 and old Focus! Maybe my camera is playing tricks! Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

I've had my new 290 since November and I'm sort of regretting it. As much I love the Cupra (2nd MK3) I feel like I've been robbed of the old 'Cupra' attitude. Please don't get me wrong as the 290 is still a great car. I feel that the character has gone now as this run out model throws spec at...

Hi guys and gals, I would like to see if there is enough of us to arrange a wee meet & greet! I know of a couple of guys who would be interested but it would be great if we could get numbers. It'll be cool for any VAG group folk to chip in, as all our cars are family! I'll try and post on...

This is just a quick shout out for this dealership. These guys are the best bar none, sourced me another Cupra within 2 weeks. It was all done within 5 emails and the car was ready to collect. After a very courteous/genuine chat with Mark Gordon the car was signed over to me within ten...

Hey folks, I collected my 2nd Cupra on Sunday. I absolutely love it, especially with this this new 7 speed DSG. My last Cupra SC 280 was a manual but in my humble opinion the DSG really makes the car so much better. I previously owned an FR184 DSG and loved the gearbox/engine combination in...
