    Updating Maps on SSD

    Howdy! I’ve got the nav high unit in my Cupra, and the maps are stored on the SSD. Does anyone know how to update them? I knew how to update the maps on mib 2 SD card, but no idea about the SSD. I can obtain the map files, but not sure how to apply them or what I’d need to do (if anything)...

    New Tyre Time

    So it's new tyre time...I've currently got Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 tyres all round, and I've previously used Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres on my previous Cupra 290. Has anyone looked at (or even used) any of the new Goodyear SuperSport tyres?

    Green Engineering Menu

    What does this actually do? I can see it as an option to enable in OBDEleven and I've seen a few posts where people have enabled it - but what can you do through this menu? I'm not looking to do anything in particular, it's just something I've never really understood :)

    Racingline OEM+ Map

    So I've had Racingline OEM+ on my car for a bit now, so thought I'd write up a bit of a review which will hopefully help some people unsure whether or not to take the jump and invest. I previously had a 2016 Cupra 290 that was entirely Racingline too; OEM+ Stage 2, TCU Map, Oil Management...

    Snow Foam Lance

    What snow foam lances have people opted for? I have a Karcher one, which just does seem to provide enough 'snoweyness' for my liking.

    Local Meets - North West - let’s get them arranged :)

    Howdy all! Following the national SCN meet this year at VAG Tuner, everyone was saying that we should get more local meets arranged, and then perhaps a few more national meets. I appreciate that meets aren’t for everyone, and some people are put off because they haven’t modified their car or...

    Volume speed increase/decrease

    Hello all! I dont suppose anyone knows how to stop the media system from turning the volume up or down when driving at different speeds? It's only a small thing, but it's slowly driving me mad!

    Starting / gearing issues

    I'm wondering and hoping someone has had the same issues that I'm having at the moment... When starting the car from cold, it struggles to get past 500 revs or so, and then splutters down to about 100 revs. If I leave it, the car cuts out. But if I rev it before it gets as low as 100 revs, the...

    Front Bumper/Bonnet Protection

    What are you good people doing to protect your front bumpers/bonnets from all the crap on the roads? I was looking at the front end of my car this weekend and it is not in a good way. So many stone chips, scratches, embedded flies, tar. I frequently clean the car, it gets polished and waxed, but...

    Cupra Oil Temperature

    Howdy! What are people usually seeing as their average oil temps? I have no idea if mine is running a bit too toasty, but it has increased (as you'd expect) with each performance upgrade: Stock: 85 - 95 degrees Stage 1: 95-100 degrees Stage 2: 100-110 degrees It actually reached a record high...

    Removal of battery

    I need to remove the battery to replace the top gearbox mount but I’ve heard mixed reviews from friends who have pretty much scared me from even touching the battery in the promise the world will end and my car will never work again! Bearing in mind, none of these ‘friends’ are Cupra or even...

    Coolant warning

    So I was completing an overtake yesterday on the M6, middle lane to the outside lane - put my foot down a bit and then all of a sudden a load of beeping happened, warning lights on the dash and a ‘Check Engine Coolant’ message displayed. Then the dash displayed these lights: Pulled over...

    Cupra 290 Coolant Capacity

    Howdy! Does anyone know the Coolant capacity for a 2106 Leon Cupra 290? I'm looking at switching to the Evans Power Cool 180 waterless coolant, and trying to work out how much I need to buy. I can't find anything in the manual and Seat just say that I need to take it to them to change :argue:
