    Cupra 240 oil consumption

    When you say exceptionally large amount of oil how many miles are we talking to a litre etc. My 2007 Cupra BWJ has always used oil since I got it in 2009. About 5-600 miles to a litre. Also since a rebuild with forged pistons and rods in 2015 it still does it so even this didnt cure it. I think...

    Powder coating, how many times.

    Just me experience, I have had 2 sets of wheels powdercoated over the years on my MK2 Cupra. I find that powdercoat is durable yes but when hit with stones from chipping it will shatter more than a painted wheel and lose more fragments of the powdercoat than of paint. The last time I had wheels...

    Air Conditioning Valve querie

    Question guys, I've an 07 Cupra and the AC isn't working. So took it to a specialist and they have said there is a valve at the bulkhead which is blocked and that I'm to get it ordered and fitted by my mechanic. I believe it's called an AC expansion valve? Anyone any ideas what the part I looks...

    Just got my cupra.. a few questions

    My 2016 FR has this camera looking thing too that you talk about, but I do not have auto lights in my car even though it has the tech pack with full led headlights etc. I may be wrong but if we got auto light switch and got it enabled via carista/obd11/vagcom it might be possible to have it...

    Cupra 290 sub 8

    WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This has to be the worst case of false advertising ever. Here we have a local dealer near me advertising a standard cupra as a sub 8. It has no buckets, no sub 8 wheels, tyres, brembos or anything haha! Also, it appears to have the orange line...

    All 4 shocks failed at 40k...

    My 2016 FR 150 TDI has the same misting of oil on the rear shocks. Its only done 43k miles. I recently fitted lowering springs to it (Eibach Sportlines) and noticed the misting just before installing them. I don't think my dealer will stand over it, even though the car is under warranty, as they...

    Stone chips repair options

    I have used the chipex kit on a bad scrape on my front bumper of my 2016 FR. Its emocion red. Did a great job, and its been touched up for about a year now and no sign of paint degradation or flaking. I will update with pictures of before and after later when I get home from work.

    Used FR Diesel 150 or 184bhp??

    I regret now not going for a 184 due to the extra oomph. I find the 150 lacking somewhat. Next on the agenda is to get a DTUK box for my 2016 150 or remap. It feels so dead compared to my Mk2 Cupra Stage 2

    2019 MK 4 SEAT Leon Spotted in testing and rear boot design leaked

    Agreed I would love to see the concealed rear handles come back but I think that I remember reading that for the Mk3 they ditched the idea due to customers guessing that the Mk2 was a 3 door car and were scared in case it hampered sales due to people not knowing it was a 5 door
