At those miles it would be the petrol for me everytime.

Just an update on this, I changed the thermostat for a second time and that fixed the problem. Car gets up to temp now and the gauge stays at around 90.

Just to add, I'm pretty sure the temperature gauge used to sit at bang on 90 and not move, now the temperature settles at around 92.

I don't think so, the coolant was changed with the temperature sensor.

I'm pretty sure it didn't do it before, it always stayed on 90, it was doing it through the mild weather we had in December too.

I currently drive a TFSI Sport and over the past month my water temperature has been dropping whilst driving downhill. The car gets up to temperature quickly and sits around 92 degrees, but when driving downhill this drops to around 80. I've changed the thermostat and the Coolant Temperature...

Thanks, I think I'll go ahead and get the revised diverter valve, even if that's not the problem there'll be no harm in having it.

On the way home from work tonight I noticed my tfsi sport wasn't boosting correctly, if at all, and had a hissing noise from around 2500rpm. I'm still on the original OEM diverter valve so I'm guessing (and hoping) that's the issue. Is that what it sounds like? I had a quick search, but...

I agree with you on the interior, I almost feel like I have to apologise for it when people get into my car.

Think I'll be keeping it pretty standard to try and keep some semblance of reliability.

Tidying up my finances, cleared my car finance and with what was left picked up a Fiat Coupe 20VT.

Waved goodbye to the Cupra today after over 3 years of ownership, just wanted to say thanks to everyone on SCN for all the help and advice over the past few years, it's been a really useful resource through the time I had the car. :thumbup:

They changed the fuel beep on the later models, the earlier models' beep is horrendous.

Sachs organic clutch.

Fix it yourself, it's an easy job, even I can do it, there's a guide on here somewhere.

A Cupra instead. ;) Not a lot to look for really, it'll still be under warranty so that should cover any problems with it, just make sure it's in good condition.

It's like somebody stuck an ugly front end on an a4.

My Sachs clutch cost me around £700 fitted IIRC.
