  • Problems with Cupra / VAG Group

    Hello friends, I just wanted to ask you how satisfied you are with your Cupra. I am now after a few months of shared opinion. In itself I am very satisfied that car is driving well and that is also the main thing BUT I have rarely had such (though small) problems with a car before: Auto Cupra Leon VZ Hybrid 2 years old. First software error: The highway and traffic jam assistant is in combination with the front camera and another assistance Sy After 2 weeks after a software update I was lucky to leave. Almost every ride 5 times this annoying warning noise and 3 error messages in the display I did not find so great. Then the seat heating from the passenger does not work for a longer time… but is probably a hardware and no software error, so I will have to have it fixed soon with the friendly one. Is however included in the warranty nevertheless annoying. 3. Error: Loud banging noise in winter now handbrake is like frozen and I have to give some of the right gas to make progress. With narrow parking spaces in the city this is almost dangerous.. With the air pressure I probably had an alleged error message, from the gas station everything checked, but was more than ok. A little played around in the display and already it was gone, also unnecessary in my opinion. Can someone share these errors or have tips to fix it?

  • Beautiful car with many problems

    Hello guys, I was allowed to pick up a Cupra Leon CUPRA LEON ST VZ 4DRIVE (310 HP) from the dealer in 09/2022. Just in the first week failure of the control for the panoramic roof. Some parts would still have to be fixed, like the cover in the A-pillar on the driver’s side, in the rear area the carpet cladding etc. so small things. This took 2 days. The appointment received 14 days because the control was not immediately available. I picked up the car from the workshop. The vehicle is standing in the workshop every month for about 1 week, because the systems fail over and over again, display goes off and on, failure of the sound generator in Cupra mode, carplay does not connect properly or lends the connection. Now the latest failure of the seat heating and a grinding when turning from the front area. New date is this week. The vehicle will (I hope not) be at the factory for 1 week. The vehicle has received several updates. Unfortunately without success! Gem. Werkstatt are now changing the ECUs. My conclusion: beautiful car, but too many defects in the electronics.

  • New CUPRA Leon ST 5 days old. Wireless Charger does not work. Has been ordered according to order.

    We’ve had a CUPRA Leon ST for 5 days. With Connectivy Box and Wireless Charger. Unfortunately, charging does not work without cable. The dealer said to make an appointment on September 26th for a whole day… Does anyone have the same problem, or even better, an adequate solution…

  • Recommended purchase Cupra Formentor Vz 310

    Hello together, I’m thinking of buying a Formentor Vz310, because in my A3 the place is a little tight with 2 meters and if you want to take something with you. My question would be the following: One reads again and again about software problems or similar. Has there been any improvement? Would a model from 2022 buy with the hope that it has become better… someone also had long-term experiences with the car? Am currently a little skeptical

  • Cupra Leon ST 190 PS

    Hi together, I wanted to ask if jmd from the forum here, has had experiences with the Leon Cupra ST with 190 hp? Unfortunately, I don’t find any videos about this model with the engine at all. Can evt jmd tell me about the acceleration and driving feeling? Is a sports suspension installed in the car?Is there a car that currently uses the same engine? I’m already more the type who likes to drive sports and what can you feel when you tap on the gas. Unfortunately, the budget me in the company no longer here. Thank you for your answers

  • Remote control lost

    I’ve had a Cupra formtor for a few months and a key with remote control accordingly. It’s the same key that VW now has. What I noticed is that my remote control is unbelievably easy to get away from the emergency key. I wanted to know: Is this the case with you too? Because of course that’s what had to come.. it’s gone. I honestly don’t see how to pay for this problem myself. only to my key, but also to the spare key.

  • So far no software updates for the Born

    Hello together! A friend has a Cupra Born, which was delivered in January 2022. So far, the car has not received a single software update. We have now asked in the workshop whether there might be a problem and whether they can update the software in the workshop. However, the workshop said that the software is up to date in the car and there would be no updates for the car at the moment. Somehow it is difficult for me to believe that because I am in various forums and The car of my acquaintances has the software status 0796, which, to my knowledge, corresponds to a version 2.x. Therefore my questions: (1) Can it be that vehicles with software status 2.x have still not received an update to 3.x and there are known reasons for this? (2) Can the workshop really not record a new update or have they told nonsense? (3) How do the software levels that are displayed in the vehicle actually hang with the “landwide known” version numbers together? I.e. is there somewhere a kind of mapping like for example 0796 corresponds to version 2.4? (4) What is the current version and which version number should then be displayed in the vehicle?

  • Cupra Formentor E-Hybrid

    Hello together, I would like to exchange with you here about the Cupra Formentor, especially for the E-Hybrid (245 HP). I ordered it yesterday in the leasing for 24 months. I still took in the driver assistance package XL, winter package, the charging cable and chose the color magnetic grey metallic. I have not yet received confirmation at the delivery time. Has anyone of you ordered and already information about the delivery time? I have omitted the maintenance package for approx. 45 Euro. are 1080 euros. They will not be fried by far in 2 years for maintenance/inspection.

  • Buying Arguments Cupra Leon Plug-in Hybrid 245 PS

    Dear Forum, our old family car (Renault Grand Scenic) is supposed to retire after almost 12 years. The children are now 9 and almost 12 and it doesn’t have to be purely pragmatic, whereby I loved the trunk and generally the room offer inside (bin 196cm), the consumption less! Now after much research I am extremely impressed by the Cupra Leon Plug In-Hybridan Kombi. The tendency is towards buying a “deadened” – so about 20000 to 25000 km – in white. My wife is not yet really convinced of the car as a “family car”, drives even a small Seat Ibiza and wants to take me more direction Seat Leon Kombi (petrol)… We have photovoltaics on the roof (9.75 kWp) and a carport, but so far no wallbox. The car will hardly be used for longer distances, but primarily for the short ways to work and the inner-city to the sports clubs of the children, for shopping etc.. In addition visits in the 50km area and only every few weeks related However, always with the option of a holiday by car to the south or to the North Sea (live in central Hesse). Now my question: How do I convince my “one-car-is-one-purpose object” woman that it has to be exactly this car and no other?! Help me with good arguments! And one more question: Can someone estimate how long it takes to get the battery with an 11W wallbox from empty to full? LG Sascha
