  1. The Ultimate CUPRA MK3 Tuning Thread

    Ok. Here's the big question. My Cupra is MY 2019, but doesn't have the copper emblems. I think it was the first batch of MY 2019 they made. My DSG is a 6 speed as well, I've been reading that it now comes with a 7 speed. So is there a remap for it? Or what I just mentioned has nothing to do with...
  2. The Ultimate CUPRA MK3 Tuning Thread

    Hi all. I have a question: How safe is an ECU remap on a 290 2019? I'm very tempted on doing this, but I don't want my engine/transmission to wear out faster than it should be (does this happen at all with a remap?) Are there any common issues with a remapping? Are there any risks? Thank you...

  5. Leon 2016 facelift???

    Hey guys, So I stumbled upon some spyshots of what appears to be a facelifted Leon for the 2016 model :/ http://www.autoevolution.com/news/spyshots-2016-seat-leon-facelift-first-photos-95966.html#agal_1 I thought the only changes would be the mirrorlink stuff. Any thoughts?
  6. Cars you've embarrassed in your Cupra/FR/Leon

    You might have destroyed the mk3 cupra speedwise, but he destroyed you on the looks department :)
  7. How safe are ECU remaps?

    1l/10km ?? I've been having 40l/200km lol... Nice seeing all the remaps that everybody's been doing. I'm definately gonna go ahead and do a stage 1 since there seems to be no issues at all with them. I guess it also depends on the tuner? I was just worried that the clutch and turbo...
  8. Seat Media in connection to Apple lightning.

    I've been using my apple original converter as well and had no issues. Only thing is that the changing of the songs is kinda sluggish (not sure if this is normal or not) and I can't see the album's art, videos, etc.
  9. Cupra 280 - What is it like to live with?

    My MPG is terrible because I keep hitting the gas to the floor on cupra mode... I just can't help it lol. It just gives me this huge smile on my face. Overall if you alternate between cupra and comfort modes then you'll get a pretty good MPG rating. Regarding the manual vs DSG thing, I...
  10. How safe are ECU remaps?

    Jesus, stage 2 on a 280 mk3 must be insane. Thanks for the input man. This guy works for a company here in Mexico. They are called GT Tuning and they have been pretty successful here in my country. They offer you 15 day warranty. If you don't like it they will remap it back to stock and give...
  11. How safe are ECU remaps?

    Hey everyone, I've been thinking about remapping my 265 SC. Allegedly, the guy that does it can bring it up to 345HP and 330 ft lbs of torque. My question is, how well can the DSG gearbox can handle that insane amount of torque upgrade? Is the motors life span going to be...
  12. Notable difference between 2013 and 2015 FR

    Not true at all. I had a 2014 1.4 FR with navigation system and the car was shown in 2D. I upgraded to a 2015 Cupra SC now and the car shows in 3D. Definately a software upgrade.
  13. Leon Cupra 265 and 280 power outputs badging

    So I think SEAT sort of fused in the 265 with the 280 here in Mexico cuz the 265 version we have here has all of that bar the 19"s and the calipers with cupra logo, they are just red here. Everything else is the same for our 265 version. Also we used to get the Alcantara/Leather w/ white stripes...
  14. Leon Cupra 265 and 280 power outputs badging

    So, besides de 18 vs 19 inch wheels and the + 15 hp difference between both. Is there any other difference? I'm getting one and here in Mexico they only sell the 265 hp cuz apparently the 280 19" version is a problem with our streets' pot holes
  15. Leon FR 1.4 2014 EPC Issue

    Thanks man, and yeah, I think it may be a faulty sensor. Gonna have it checked out on monday. I read about this error and it seems to be something sort of "common" on older ibiza's and leon's This is the most recent video I found of this error: /watch?v=oMOaXid2958 (youtube video) It's an...
  16. Leon FR 1.4 2014 EPC Issue

    Hi everyone, I was on the highway a few days ago I noticed my car's throttle response was clumsy and couldn't get past 3,000-3,500 rpms. Soon as I noticed this the "EPC" light went on. I quickly checked my manual and it said something about "cleaning" the gas tank with certain method...
  17. Is it worth upgrading to a Cupra?

    Hi guys, new poster but I´ve been lurking for a while. I bought almost a year ago my Leon FR 1.4 and I've been incredibly happy with it. Now with the Cupra launch here in Mexico, I'm really starting to wonder if it's worth selling my FR for the Cupra. I mean, maybe I'm asking a question...
