Coolant level slowly dropped in mine due to leak in thermostat housing. Replaced under warranty only to leak substantially a month later - they had nipped the washer/seal when fitting the new thermostat causing a bigger leak! All sorted now with no problems since. Sent from my SM-G973F...

Have 290 DSG 2016 and it happens occasionally - once or twice a month. Nearly imperceptible 'thud' on very light throttle up to embarrassing loud bang if accellerating hard. (passengers think I have hit something). Can happen hot or cold. Cannot replicate on demand and therefore the 3 times...

I made it to 48 without touching automatics but was interested enough to jump to dsg. Still like to change gear when I want to so 95% of the time use paddles or stick. I find in Drive it changes up too soon (5th gear at 34mph) and stop start kicks in when you don't want it to when slowing down...

1st Central insurance has always been good for my Cupras. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Switch traction control off for snow (long press of traction control button). As you say with it switched on power will be reduced until wheels are no longer spinning causing you to stop half way up a hill. With it off start in 2nd gear and the tyres will spin but rather than cutting power the...

I found the extensions a great improvement. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Comfort idles just below 1000rpm whereas sport, Cupra etc idle just over 1000. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Coming from all previous manual cars I don't like the way D races up through the gears so quickly and S too slowly. Control freak in me keeps it in manual and use paddles or stick to pick the fear I want when I want it. Limited experience of D mode (and autostart kicking in at 5mph!) gave me a...

It see it is on the Play Store in UK now. Will have a look at the weekend. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Sometimes on my 290 Cupra there is a loud clunk from 1st to 2nd. Has happened about 4x in the last 7 months. Can't seem to replicate it deliberately. A couple of times was under brisk acceleration from the lights but the other two times were very light acceleration. Always in manual mode with...

I've a slow puncture on my cupra and if I inflate to 39 psi it pings when it drops to 30 psi. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

I left a tray of (fresh) cat litter in the footwell for a week after I accidentally (buttons pushed and held in pocket when leaning over) auto opened all my windows and left overnight on a wet January. Have deactivated auto windows in the new car! Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

I moved my mk2 boot liner to my mk3. It was tight in a couple of places but otherwise works well keeping the crap off the carpet! Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

My petrol Cupra 290 has averaged 24 mpg based on 10 mile commute every day. Average speed 20 mph! All the more fun though when I do get to let loose Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

Check if it is the key battery. Might be ok for initial push to lock but fades before long push is registered. Try your spare key or swap better. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

I got the same from ebay and fitted easily - No issues at all.[B)]

Just fitted the ebay metal extensions - so far so good. Will let you know how it goes. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

Dw911, excellent link - I have short fingers and have trouble reaching paddles if holding wheel around the bulge on the rim - these finger extensions should be perfect! Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

Excellent, will order some when the seller is back.
