Not to sound daft but what does the water-pump replacement have to do with the clutch packs? Looking at the service history of the car, I don't see any mention of clutch pack or water-pump work being done. My guess is the previous owner knew about these and traded it in before they needed done.

Yeah previously had a 1.2tsi se so knew about the usual problems. Will definitely check the dsg service. Only thing worried me is the dry clutch used on the 1.8tsi dsg

Hi all, looking at the above far and just wanted to know if there's anything I should look out for.

Left my 1.2TSI to dealers due to misfire yesterday morning. Was told that it was the coil packs and were replaced today. Was also told that coil packs didn't fix the issue, so they're keeping it another day to figure it out.

Anyone recommend a front splitter and rear valance that fits the SE?

@sweetfr mind telling me where you ordered from?

Are those the Cades Shift? Looks nice in silver, was contemplating the black ones to go on my Monsoon grey.

I get this error once every week from cold start. Symptoms are: - judders on startup - idle rpm at 1.2k - engine line comes on for 5secs - stop start comes on as error Next start of the car usually clears it.

Anyway to disengage cruise control via clutch with Carista? At the minute the only way to disengage cruise control is by tapping the brakes or the stock.

Yup, it's a whole trim job. Mine broke and replaced under warranty :D

Hmmm not good. I have 10months dealer warranty left so will roll with that until then. Should be covered and I doubt they know any better with the uprated ones.

Works well. Definitely big difference in trying to close the lid. Anyone suffer from any prolonged issues like locks failing/hairloom torqued from the uprated struts?

Just seen my 2nd one parked in Stranmillis today. Mag Grey hatch :D

I've only seen one Cupra in Limavady, Northern Ireland. It was a mystery blue ST. Living in Belfast, I see more FRs/ Rs/GTI/GTDs and yet to see a Cupra.

Struts arrived from this link and currently sitting in the boot waiting for some clear weather to fit them.

Have you got a link? And do they go on top of the stock rubber or do you have to peel/take off the stock ones?

@Jamesb are they the ebay/aliexpress jobby or genuine VW from a GTI/GTD?

If I was to ever get my calipers done, it'd have to be purple

I've looked into it before and it'll probably cost the same as the difference between buying a non-tech and tech trims.

One thing to note is we might not know the full story. Some vital points could've been left out and we'd have no way of confirming OPs side of the story. If OP knew the consequences of getting fined/banned for reckless driving, then why risk it anyway?
