DRL's again! I want to know how to keep my DRL's ON all the time - even with side/headlights?

Does anyone know how to make the daytime running lights stay on and not switch off when you turn side/head lights on with a Bocanegra & Xenons???

Does anyone know how to make the daytime running lights on a Bi-Xenon Bocanegra stay on when the Headlights are on? I suspect there must be a relay somewhere that turns them off when you move to sidelights or headlights. Most of the other makes of car stay on while Seat turns them off - strange.

I've now been back to the Dealers and they have ordered a replacement unit - no problems with missing stickers or the LED sidelights. I would be interested to know if anyone has replaced the bulbs and found them any better? Also I am told you can replace the 35W ballast with a 55W one and get...

Xenon upgrade Did you change the standard bulbs? are the new ones any better? I agree with you the standartd ones just arent good enough.

Having banged on about how poor the bi-xenon headlights are on my Bocanegra compared to the Fabia Vrs (with upgraded bulbs) today things have got worse! I now dont have a drivers side main beam :cry: Seeing as there is only a singe bulb I am assuming this must be a mechanical 'shutter' fault...

My Bocanegra has Bi-Xenon headlights but I don'y really rate them! My Fabia vRS has standard headlights fitted with Philips uprated bulbs and were 'much' better. main beam does not light as far down the road as my Fabia did and if you have to drop onto dipped beam on a country lane at anything...

Heres a question for all the clever people out there... I have a Boca withthe Bi-Xenon lights and I think the beam cut-off needs to be further down the road. 70/80mph on a country lane on main beam is OK but go down to dip beam and whoooora! *&#? me. I took it to the stealers and they...

Sorry to disagree with you Mardon, but they don't all rattle! Mine is silky smooth. Upshifts and downshifts at whatever speed are as silent as you like and very, very smooth. My only (very slight) gripe with the transmission is that with the initial spare travel in the accelerator you...

Hi Millyscupra, I see you live in Cheshire - which bit? I live in Crewe and drive a white Boca. I've had it since 1st March, been all over and still not seen another Cupra/Boca. I've never had a new car and not seen loads on the road; it feels kinda weird!

I read an road test of the new Fabia VRS with the same DSG gearbox as in the Boca and they say "the mapping is much better than previous variations, and they have now got it right". If this is true could we get the same map loaded into our Bocas/Cupras? I also read another piece (can't...

When my Candy White Boca is in the drive I get people walking past stopping and staring at it. Not sure whether they are admiring it or wondering what the !*%$ does Bocanegra mean!

More... Sorry should have said I only use Shell V Power fuel.

Bocanegra Fuel Consumption I'm just past 4000 miles now and have just had my best fuel economy yet. My trip to work and home is 36 miles each way mostly through countryside so 60mph is pretty common (90+ occasionally in places!). I've just gone 402miles on a single tankfull. I'm amazed myself...

Techie - Help Techie, we need one of your guides as the best way to change the fog light bulbs on a Boca/Cupra... any chance?

Hi, As anyone with a Bocanegra will know - the wheels, especially the rear drivers side are a bitch for stone chipping. I suppose its the fact that the spokes stick out and if you are travelling at 100mph the top spoke is doing 200mph ish? Has anyone got a colour code for touching them up...

Please don't all shoot me down for asking this but... The Cupra and Bocs (FR's don't) all have a sound generator to make them sound more aggresive when accelerating hard. I believe this is an electronic unit in the engine bay close to the bulkhead on the drivers side. Does anyone (techie)...

Mark how easy/difficult was it to get the wheelarch trim off? I bought my replacement bulbs some time ago but have been put off changing them because it sounds a pain. On my Boc I can just touch the back of the drivers side bulb but am not sure If I could remove it or worse still get it back...

Autobulbs - Ultra White Xenons

I had quite a lot of small stone chips on my Candy White boca in the 1st week! They look bad because underneath the white its piano black!!! Managed to touch them up very well (halfords mixed aerosol + tooth pick method). Then I gave it a good waxing (Autoglym super resin, high gloss + top...
