yes its a trip to the dealer unfortunately
tail light on my 65 cupra failed
got the unit off after a bit of messing around
but there is nothing in there you can do anything with (I'm just a silly old fool):shrug:
the hand book is useless
I think dealer replaced whole unit
Hi
I run my cupra 280 sub 8 at 34 all round
39 in the front seems way to high to me
as many others have said , wheel hop is a big issue on the bridgestone tyres
34 all round does not stop the wheel hop but does help
very shortly will be going for Michelins on front
ha ha
yes obvoiusly been sold a pup
guess this cost saving explains why no passenger electric seat
no grab handle over drivers door
useless front washer spray
oil dipstick so thin a silly old fart like me can barely see it
no spare wheel etc etc
anyway still love the...
I miss the gas strut bonnet opening on my mk 3 cupra sub 8 (previous car mk1 cupra)
i asked why it had been changed to the clumsy old hook thingy
while i was working on a redevelopment project at a seat / skoda dealer
just north of York. ( no names just in case i get anybody in...
thanx for all the feedback
now weather has warmed up a bit the squealing seems to have stopped
or is it just some bedding in thing.
as for stripping brakes and messing about like that why on earth should I have
to do that on 6 month old car still under warranty ?
as other have...
thanks for offer robin
however I think kazand is right
the spacesaver will not clear the brembo brakes
the standard wheels only look to have about one cats c**k hair clearance
"technology to enjoy" on hard shoulder waiting...........................:cry:
be aware that the the spacesaver wheel does not seem to be an option
tin of gunk & pump is all that came with my sub 8 280
still have not sorted out a spare wheel option after 6 months
i get lots of punctures working on building sites
anybody who knows of suitable wheel / spacesaver...
andrewpain it was called zeibart as far as I can remember
like you say it was splashed all over the lower half of cars in the 80s
it was also used to cover up terminal rust that was endemic in many cars at that time:D
one good way to judge the age of a car was by how far up the doors...
yep its absolutely normal :blink:
though this is a very bad case
been working beside a dealers last 4 months
seen loads like this
makes those pretty skirts I got on mine with sub 8 pack
not seem so expensive after all:D
Hi performance or whatever , I can not believe that an irritating squeal is normal .
surely a manufacturer as highly regarded as brembo could sort out squealing brakes
ref my original post - it is now a long time since I heard a BUS with squealing brakes
anyway today I jetwashed the...
Hi
has anyone else got low speed ( under 10 mph) squeal on cupra with sub 8 brembos
sounds just like old bus :(
tried hard braking, washing ,cleaning etc but no difference
brakes are ferocious at any speed :-o , just wish squealing would stop
2016 car with just over 3000 on...
yep just noticed same problem on my 2 month old cupra
good job seat don't make submarines .....:(
happy with car but it it seems to leak & creak just like my old
mk1 cupra
larger 6.5 inch screen on later models seems to be worth looking for
look carefully at any pics , some 2015 models ( reg 15) still have smaller screen
good luck check everything yourself its the only way:banned:
