Changing the Accelerator from block to direct helps with the flat spot before hoofing it. It's still there but imo the car responds better in direct. Can do this for you next time I see you.

Evening all, noob here when it comes to working on cars but have started tinkering with my Cupra and am now thinking I may be ready to tackle replacing the discs and pads on the better halfs Altea. It,s a 14 plate 1.6 diesel. Is this a relatively easy job that a beginner can do or shall I put...

I always fill at tesco with 99. Maybe I shall try V power to see what happens. Reading through the comments I'm now wondering if maybe I'm hoofing it from the line too much then. Usually when the light goes green I'm in 3rd before the car behind has moved. Can't be helped and I don't usually go...

I got about 320 out of it when I done the west coast when I first got it. Then the garage took it to get serviced as they forgot to do so before they sold it (hmmmm) and since I got it back the average has taken a dive.

I'm wondering what the average full tank range is Mk3 Cupra owners. I have a 15 plate 280 st dsg and get around 220 miles to a full tank, city driving, spirited occasionally ;) I have a friend with a 15 plate 280 st manual and he gets around 340 to a tank. Again mainly city and as he puts it...

I'm interested to see if you can get this to work as from what I have read in the past this isn't possible with the ST due to the weight of the bootlid. I have read second hand accounts of windows shattering and lids warping due to the amount of force required to lift the lid. Be carefull if...

Still loving it. Got centre res deleted so it now sounds a bit nicer. Got a MD splitter that I may or may not fit. Hoping to get its breathing sorted this year then getting it mapped. How's the Merc? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

I have deleted the resonator on my 280St. You don't need anything fancy as it's a straight pipe. Res off, pipe on, half hour work and shouldn't cost you more than £60. It doesn't make a huge difference to the sound from the car until you want it to. DSG farts are now lovely and over run can be...

You never got rid then :D

I have super sports atm and they amaze me with the sheer amount if grip in both wet and dry but I also read a lot of comparisons and watched a few videos and they all say the 4 s's are better at everything so it was a no brainer. Also the asda price I said above included getting alignment done.

The code is still working. Now £696.04 fitted and balanced. Still crying at the amount. Only need fronts but as 1 rear has a screw in it and the other a no name effort the dealer put on I figure it best to get the best all round. Don't tell my missus!

I dont have ACC but from the reviews I watched on youtube of it is it will keep you at the distance you select from the car in front. If it speeds up you speed up, if it slows down then you slow down. It will stop you if the car in front stops but it wont start you again. You start yourself but...

Just home after a wee 1012 mile trip around the top west of Scotlands finest coast roads and loved every minute of it. Was nice getting the Cupra on roads that are a big bit fun. Can't wait to do it again.

Let us know how you get on with both the fitting and results please.

41 all round on Cupra ST.

Cheers dude. Just give me a pm when your available ;)

Anyone in Edinburgh or central belt/fife willing and able to do a few wee tweeks for me in exchange for beer tokens? Looking for mirrors on lock, chirp and soundaktor disabled. Cheers.

Mine was bought used. Was ex vw fleet with low mileage. Got it on chucky with no deposit and 2 services, 1st mot and extended warranty thrown in. Got it for less than 19k and less than 2 years old. A friend fell in love with it on sight and has been hunting for a similar st Cupra since and can't...

Where are you ordering your ODB11 from? I think I'm going to have to grab one myself.

Also want to do this to my ST but can't find out any info on what struts to use.
