If its a cold start mine will stay at 1500 RPMs for some 30 seconds but if thoroughly warmed (after a longer trip, at least 30 mins drive) it will start directly at 900 RPMs even after 10 minutes. I suspect it will also depend on the state of charge of the battery. (for example if you had long...

This happened to me twice already and had the fuel flap changed both times on warranty. Last time it took more than a month to have it replaced but I did find out a tip on how to open it if it is completely stuck: Open from the key and while pushing the flap towards the hinge (towards the front...

I have the halogen “base” lights and still experience some resets.

Trip resets still happens from time to time for me.(5-6 times this year) See here for more information: https://www.seatcupra.net/forums/threads/clock-trip-distance-avg-consumption-occasionally-reset.453987/#post-4884365 For software issues I would recommend disconnecting the car battery for 10...

I payed £239 as it was a "fixed price for the second year service". Can someone confirm that the engine air filter is changed in the second year service? (it was not changed in the first year and will not be changed in the 3rd year as it's a minor service)

It’s not only about torque, it’s about power too. From the graphs you can clearly see the power at 2000RPM is less than max power (about 55hp). With my engine it feels easier on the engine to drive at 73mph than 68 in top gear (Especially uphill) even if both are in max torque region. The choice...

I tried to reproduce the same steps and leave the car overnight and I think indeed the battery drained. I got an "ignition on" alert just before starting the car, no trip meter reset but higher fuel consumption for the same daily commute (the battery needed a bit of recharging?!). I used waze on...

It happened to me too. Can you tell me if you used apple car play just before reset? (I suspect a car module is left on and uses the battery.) Any news would be welcome.

If this is true than you might get better fuel mileage in sport.(if you don’t play too much with the car).

I mostly agree with you Crossthreaded, but have you noticed from the articles there is no lower limit for the low speed pre-ignition? Driving around 2500RPM does not feel like it should be low engine speed and therefore I should not have LSPI. So my reasoning is I could still have a low...

Had the same issue with the fuel flap jamming. Solved under warranty by changing the actuator and the flap(which was painted in the dealership). Now the flap is slightly misaligned and has a slightly different discolouration compared to normal paint, but at least I wont be afraid of beeing...

Mine does the same thing. Fyi: It’s the stock unit. But actually the back lights are still on so you get a grey screen in deep darkness.

As I uderstand motorway lights are available for the dipped beam.

Hi, You made a good choice on the LEDs, they do change the look of the car. I think you should notice a difference between the two engines, difference you can see on paper with torque and 0-60 figures. I test drove the 115 and chose the 95. As I think about it I can only remember that the 115...

Mine seems acceptable ("manual" AC), after 5 minutes even in the recent hot weather it worked OK. It was definitely much better than opening the windows. If the car works as it should, I suggest staying at higher RPM (an increase from 2 000 RPM to 2 500 would have a 25% increase in compressor...

This is the kind of fuel consumption (60+MPG) you can get in perfect conditions.(My best one yet!) AC was on all the time on this trip.

Check the photos in this review for the standard lights. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/seat/ibiza You can form your own opinion.

If you what to get good fuel economy driving on hills there is a strategy you can use. You don't want to "fight" the hill but use the energy you get from going downhill to slightly accelerate (over your average speed) and when the hill starts "freeze" your accelerating foot in a fixed position...

I am curious what’s your final car choice. Please share wich car you wil order! Maybe it can help others too.

I bought white to touch up a door ding and apparently this shade is the same over the whole range of vw and seat. It worked well for me. I can't tell the difference. My bet is the colour you found will be perfect.
