sounds like a timing belt, get it checked out to be on the safe side

help! I've got the same problem but the radio does not switch on for me unless the key is in the ignition so I cant try the above fix, any ideas?

:lol:

Hmm I never really considered the diesel, it is really that much better?

^ thinking a beemer 330 myself, I'd want an upgrade in power on my Cupra. I've had my LC for almost 3 years now, has been brilliant for me but I fancy a change. Always wanted a beefy beemer with its rear wheel drive

Exacto! If on long trip wthen take it easy and you'll achieve good mpg. If you come to nice twisty roads and its empty then open the taps and have some fun.....would be a shame to have a willing car and not use it for a laugh when the opportunity presents itself

true :)

cant quite put my finger on why this looks so cool from behind for me....but it does

Good stuff mate, I'm sure you wont regret it. Had mine for two years and despite minor issues it's been bulletproof. In fact I'm thinking of taking it to the south of france for a trip as I'm that confident in it

hey thats nothing to be ashamed of, had a clio myself before getting my Cupra :D

just to add another method to try if it happens - try rocking the handle up and down gently until you hopeful hear the click which unlocks it. Mine locked up again, I tried the above and it opened again. Gonna need to try and get some more lube in there

This forum is a lifesaver :D Had the problem come up yesterday, took the inside trim off (was a bit of a nightmare) today and followed the instructions to lube up the mentioned components and its working now. Luckily I had a friend around to assist me with putting the trim back on. Will now...

Saw a regular 1.8 Seat Leon first and wasnt terribly impressed with its power, then went and saw my first Cupra and it was in mint condition, fully serviced and ran like clockwork....bought it there and then! The ad was only online for about 20mins and I got lucky and saw the car first.

any luck? seems like you got dam unlucky with your purchase. I've got the exact same year and model and i got similar problems but they arrived much later on and were fairly straightforward to fix. Good luck

might be worth checking and cleaning the throttle body, do a search and you'll find the guide It's quick and cheap so nothing lost by doing it

sweet! remember to keep the bodywork clean and out of the sun if possible as red fades badly

cheers all, seems like 312 is the most likely correct ones.

thats a tad worrying. my cars a y-reg, am I to assume that this is an earlier 2001 model and therefore I need the smaller discs? The pads I have are definitely big ones, I know cos I was sent incorrect smaller ones twice by an online retailer

Ultimate Cinema surround system, HD heaven :D I'd say spread it around the car to improve the whole thing; uprated suspension, brakes, air filter + exhaust, remap and finally a damn good service

thanks for the info. Just that I've seen a brake disc of that size going real cheap, but you're right it wouldnt make much sense to get it
