Warning appeared on dashboard last Tuesday, so I put a new battery (Duracell) in the keyfob. Absolutely no problems at all. Worked perfectly immediately.

I have the multispoke diamond cut wheels on my 2016 Black Edition. These are the features I hate about my Cupra. Otherwise I love everything else as it’s a brilliant car. The gloss black parts of the wheels are easily scratched and almost every spoke has corrosion under the lacquer. My...

I’d steer clear of diamond cut alloys. I’ll never have them again in the future. They look great for the first few months, but quickly begin to degrade. The multispoke wheels on my Black Edition very quickly began to show corrosion, even though they had never been kerbed. My neighbour has an...

I seem to remember a few months ago that a forum member was concerned about their new car coming with the registration plate EDL. Living in Scotland, I didn’t appreciate the concern at the time until it was explained in later posts. I’ve noticed a Cupra for sale with the registration letters...

I might be totally wrong here and I'm sure I'll be told, but I don't think the Cupra has exhaust flaps. Also the louder exhaust in Cupra mode may be the increased volume from the Soundaktor and has nothing to do with the exhaust at all. I think the Soundaktor volume in Cupra is almost 100%...

Sainsbury’s Super Unleaded in my 2016 Cupra 290 Black Edition.

Success at last. I really didn’t want to be beaten. I physically reconnected the Soundaktor with more scratches on the back of my hand. I made sure that I could hear the Soundaktor in Sport and Cupra modes. When I connected the Carista to my iPad there it was third down in Other. Now down to 0%...

When I was searching on my iPad with the Carista in place and ignition on, the Soundaktor was connected. I’m guessing I’ve done something wrong as I’m not very confident in my own abilities! However, I wasn’t really intending turning the fake sound down, just off completely which has obviously...

Many thanks ChrisM75. Tried again this morning, but still no success. Can’t see anything about Soundaktor on ‘Other’ and looked in the other options too. I’m near the end of the free trial and I won’t be paying to extend it. I’ve just physically disconnected the Soundaktor. A bit of a pain...

Still cannot find the Soundaktor anywhere on Carista. I’ve tried several times now, but no joy. I’m just using the basic Carista, so possibly I might need to upgrade. Any suggestions? It has worked for mirror fold and number of flashes from indicators.

I've been looking on Autotrader to see if there's anything out there which is relatively new to tempt me away from my Cupra Black Edition, but nothing so far. No manual gearbox, alcantara bucket seats or SEAT sound. What I did notice was a 19 reg Cupra Lux with only 4K miles, but what was...

I often use the boot opening without unlocking all the doors. For the first time in over 3 years of ownership the alarm was activated when I did this. Thankfully, this hasn’t happened again. Any ideas? Did I do something wrong?

Guess I’ve been lucky, but there’s absolutely no signs of any cracking on my bucket seats on my 2016 Black Edition. Probably see a big crack/rip in the next couple of weeks after this boast! Don’t know if this is significant, but I’m almost 6 feet tall and weigh slightly less than 11 stones. My...

2016 Cupra 290. 345 miles from full to the fuel gauge turning red.

I have the alcantara bucket seats in my 2016 Black Edition, and so far absolutely no signs of cracking. Probably tempting fate writing this! I’m not too keen on the idea of full leather. The alcantara holds your bum in place when cornering. Full leather owners will let me know, but do you not...

I bought a Carista yesterday with the intention of doing three small changes. I’m not really interested in changing anything major, like throttle response or differential. I successfully managed to change mirror folding to one click and indicators flashing 5 times instead of 3. Delighted with...

Not at all unreasonable. That's really poor from a SEAT main dealer. Sounds more like what you would get from a dodgy old banger dealer. At least you have 2 year's warranty left. Hope all goes well in the future when you get over the initial disappointment. You've bought a brilliant car which...

Don't really know, and don't really care. I didn't buy a Cupra to check on my mpg. However, having said that, I'm really impressed by the relatively good fuel consumption considering the performance on tap.

Top. Totally effortless performance from low revs up to max revs, unlike previously owned Civic Type Rs. Roadholding and handling. Bucket seats and SEAT Sound (2016 Black Edition) Bottom. Diamond cut multi spoke black alloys. PITA to clean and corrosion under the lacquer protective coating. My...

I hope I don't regret posting this, but my 2016 Cupra has only been back to the dealers twice, both times for the annual service. Hope it starts this afternoon! Over many years of car purchasing I've found that many salespersons don't know much about the product they're selling.
