    Roof bars for the born?

    Did you ever get an answer to this? I’m thinking ahead as well so I’d appreciate any info you have.

    Actual difference between the e-boost model and non e-boost model

    Why massage seats are an option but memory seats aren’t baffles me.

    Real-World Running Costs

    Now there are a few of you lucky folk with your Born’s, have you covered enough miles and completed enough full charges to judge the running costs properly? With rising electricity costs I’m sure I’m not alone in wondering how much of the saving vs fossil fuels is being eroded (not that it was...

    Cupra Born V3 - Salary Sacrifice Lease

    It's with Tusker. I don't think they're quite as competitive as Octopus can be, but considering there's zero deposit (which would ordinarily bring the monthly cost down) I don't think it's bad at all considering it's inclusive of everything except electricity!

    CUPRA Born owner's register

    I'm told my car order has been accepted by the factory, but no build slot yet. Does anybody know the sort of lead times you're looking at from build slots being given, to the car being delivered?

    Cupra Born V3 - Salary Sacrifice Lease

    Mine is on order through a similar salary sacrifice scheme. I’ve got a V2, eBoost, Rayleigh Red, Tech Pack M, Cargo pack, Beats stereo, on a 36/month and 7.5k/ year term and it’s costing me roughly £440/m with no deposit, and everything included (maintenance, tax, insurance, tyres, roadside...

    CUPRA Born owner's register

    I’ve just received an ‘early March 2023’ delivery ETA. You can see why second hand car prices have gone so mad recently!

    CUPRA Born owner's register

    I placed an order this weekend for a Rayleigh Red Born V2 with eboost, tech pack M, Beats and the Cargo pack. Absolutely no idea of lead time yet, if it’s this year I’ll be surprised.

    bluefin or revo

    Nothing wrong with Superchips at all, it would be wrong to dismiss them entirely. As Kraken says, they've a vast amount of resource and experience out there and a long track-record. However... I went Revo because I trust their VAG-specific expertise, but also because they sell through a network...

    Seat Official Servicing with "inclusive" Roadside Assistance - a warning

    Sounds very simple really - the dealer didn't register it for you when you had your car serviced. If they did, you would have received an email confirming the registration and confirming the expiry date of it.

    Media System Problem...

    Mine was booked in for this problem last month, but under a warranty claim as it would have otherwise been chargeable according to Seat. In the end, they said that 're-coding' the unit might fix it, so they did that instead. I swear this is just technical B.S. lingo to make people go away...

    Add on spoiler for 5 door FR

    The quote I got from Seat recently was a flat £300; they said it was a standard price out of the Seat accessory brochure.

    Fr tdi 150/184 differences

    This may be more of an age or software difference, but I recently had a '16 plate 184 loaner while my 13' plate 150 was in for some work. Both equal spec otherwise and both DSG. The gearing on the 184 is quite different; in equal driving scenarios and speeds, the 184 sits at a higher engine...

    MK3 Leon - dissapointing!

    Seat forgot how to build cars between 2013-2014. The first year of the 5F Leon is terribly made and all the things you mentioned aren't uncommon (I could add a few to the list myself). From '14 onwards, it all gets much, much better. I've had a few days where the rattling, buzzing and random...

    what did you and your mk3 leon do today

    I got an email afterwards, but it's up to the dealer to register it for you so they need to learn about it quickly if they know nothing about it. It's optional, but free so you'd be daft not to take it since it's quite comprehensive (home start, Euro cover, etc).

    WTF it has an economic mode

    Try it though, it's quite entertaining if you have the DSG gearbox, as it flicks it to Neutral when you lift off the throttle so you're just freewheeling along. Quite an odd sensation!

    FR Useless reversing light

    I installed the reversing light from here yesterday; it's much, much brighter as well as being whiter. It has made a huge difference. I've also cranked up the power via OBDEleven to 125 so it has gone from useless to street lighting.

    Carbon Look for 5.8" Media Display

    Does anybody know what the cut-off for this adaptation is, or what models do and don't work? My 13-plate FR with the Tech pack won't take to it, it applies the change but doesn't change the appearance.
