I paid £390 for oil, filter, brake fluid, other filters, diff service and inspection/diag from a specialist for my 66 plate 290 when it hit 3 years

My start stop works in sports and Cupra

My 290 ST is 39 fronts, 38 rears according to the label in the fuel flap

Ok good to know. I’ll send a couple of emails out as there is 2 good custom exhaust places not that far from me and see what they think. Cheers for the info mate!

Ok mate thanks for the info. Got some stuff to look into now lol. I just wonder what the differences are of a cheaper custom job to paying more for the vagsport for example?

That does sound nice. Not too OTT, just a nicer, deeper sound. Didn’t realise you could get it done so cheap, I’m new to all this and assumed you had to buy one and get fitted etc. I figured it was more Complex than them cutting it out and putting a plain piece of pipe in haha. Might have to...

Of course I’ve used the Cupra button :clap: Ok dmpx, I’ll await the video, thanks. What you’re saying is just get a res delete and it’ll sound kinda like it should? Does everyone just get the VAGsport one from progressive parts or are there better options?

Hey guys, Last summer, I purchased my first Cupra. It’s a 66 plate Cupra 290 ST BE and in the time I’ve had it I’ve come to the conclusion it’s way too quiet. Since I got mine I’ve watched many videos and such of people’s various Cupra’s, all sorts, and yes there is a variation in the noise...

Hi guys, Been looking at getting some nicer interior LED’s and seen this kit mentioned. Would this be the right kit to do all the interior lights on my 66 plate 290? TIA https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F352382333839

Ive just put all 3 new wipers on, all Bosch, from wiperblades.co.uk, work a treat. Clean as hell, not noise.

Mine does this too. Very annoying. Getting a new one to see if it makes a difference

Is there any particular snow foams anyone can recommend? Also pressure washers. The karchers seem quite steep!

Hey guys, I’ll shortly be getting my car ceramic coated and just wondering what the best way of washing and maintaining after a ceramic coating is if anyone has any experience or advice? What products are any good and anything in particular that’s handy to know? Cheers!

What’s the longest lasting but still decent performance tyres people have had on here?

Seems to be a common thing. My 2016 Cupra has the same issue annoyingly

Is there a video of this mate? Is it really just 1 bolt to get the S badge boot handle out!? And does all of what your saying apply to the ST? As I know a lot of stuff can be different between the estate and the hatch.

Ok will definitely try something in the S and see if that frees it up. Anybody got any experience with the boot sensor/switch problem?

Hi guys, I've got a 66 plate Cupra 290 ST and it seems to have developed an issue with the boot/boot sensor. The car is constantly thinking the boot is open. Sometimes it says its open solidly, but sometimes it's intermittent and goes on and off. Either way it's a bit of a pain. I've noticed...

By the sound of it. Might have to go down the res delete route at some point then

My bad. Forgot to say it’s DSG. I’ve tried it all. Even in Cupra mode (dsg in sport) I still get not a lot compared to other examples :(
