    Mk3 Cupra average range full tank?

    220 to a tank is terrible! Either you're caning it everywhere or there is an issue somewhere. Even city driving I get over 300 and regularly get 400 without much effort. MK3 Leon ST Cupra 290 Black Edition

    Tour of France

    Saumur in the mid-west is a nice place to drop by if your route goes anywhere nearby. There's also a service station that is a favourite of mine but I can't for the life of me remember the name of it (although French service stations in general put ours to shame). It's situated in a nature...

    Van Driving

    I just hired a van to move my stuff from Southampton to Inverness for a new job. Reasonably comfortable and 40mpg or so but as someone has said earlier they do not like crosswords! Also I'm bored of the M6 now...just one more trip to make [emoji42] MK3 Leon ST Cupra 290 Black Edition

    Same [emoji54] can't use it at all. Has to be the steering wheel volume control! MK3 Leon ST Cupra 290 Black Edition

    what did you and your mk3 leon do today

    I had to buy two new centre caps as they popped out hitting potholes. Previously the kind parts department of my local dealer gave me a freebie but I had to pay for these. Only 13 quid though. MK3 Leon ST Cupra 290 Black Edition

    MK3 SEAT Leon CUPRA's owner's register

    I'm pretty sure I have plain mats. Not Cupra. I've had it for 9 months now so a bit late to kick up a fuss MK3 Leon ST Cupra 290 Black Edition

    MK3 SEAT Leon CUPRA's owner's register

    Lovely colour and nice splitter and skirts. Are they from the factory body kit? MK3 Leon ST Cupra 290 Black Edition

    Brake disc life.

    I would agree with DEAN0's suggestion of a second opinion. Especially if you are on first set of pads too? Discs won't wear out quicker than pads! MK3 Leon ST Cupra 290 Black Edition

    Looking at the black discs for mine but it says it's only a coating and will wear to plain metal. Would be good to hear your thoughts once you've had them on a while. MK3 Leon ST Cupra 290 Black Edition

    Brake disc life.

    That does seem soon. I think normal rule is every second set of pads so I would expect 35-40k miles. MK3 Leon ST Cupra 290 Black Edition

    Cupra ST 300 4 Drive inbound, got a few questions!

    I had the alloy cover on my previous FR and never used it so for the Cupra I didn't bother. The alloys themselves are pretty robust I've hit a few craters at night on the motorway with no issues. Others haven't been so lucky though. Get some PS4S's, they are pretty tough and have good rim...

    I got mats but they are plain black...I have seen there are mats with Cupra stitching are they the ones that are meant to come with it or are they a paid option? MK3 Leon ST Cupra 290 Black Edition

    How many keys?

    Not sure if it's the same for models with keyless but should come with 2 x normal keys. MK3 Leon ST Cupra 290 Black Edition

    Tyre Pressures

    Reduced to 40. When I went to the sticker recommendations they felt quite low so bumped them up. Could be the PS4S likes a higher pressure? I'm sure I've heard that from factory they are over-inflated and meant to be reduced at the dealer. MK3 Leon ST Cupra 290 Black Edition

    Tyre Pressures

    Mine were at 44 when I picked it up. Something to do with transport mode maybe? MK3 Leon ST Cupra 290 Black Edition

    New MK3 Leon CUPRA R Confirmed

    My dealer reckoned he sold two to one person. One to use and one to lock away in a garage as an investment. MK3 Leon ST Cupra 290 Black Edition

    New MK3 Leon CUPRA R Confirmed

    Cupra splitting off as a seperate brand certainly won't help costs either. I think this is where the likes of Hyundai and Peugeot could steal sales if they upped their interior quality as it's the only thing that's holding them back at the minute. MK3 Leon ST Cupra 290 Black Edition
