  • Cupra Leon 2.0 TSI 221 kW (300 hp) – Cupra mode switches late

    Hello, it might be that this is a stupid question for most people here, but I’m just putting it in. I recently bought a CUPRA LEON (300hp) / BJ 2022 and I used to drive more everyday cars. Today I just wanted to try the Cupra mode and was amazed what noises the car can give away. I then immediately got on the highway and gave some real gas and noticed that the car really turned up very late. t and I sometimes had just under 6000 turns on the speedometer before it was switched on at all. To my question: Is that normal that the car will turn up so late in CUPRA mode, or do I have to do something manually in this mode? That partly didn’t sound so healthy when it turned up like that. Maybe that’s also true, because it’s just a sporty car. Maybe someone can clear me up here and I hope I didn’t cause any damage to the engine/gear now. eight, because I have to say that I was on the road for only 5 minutes and the engine was certainly not warm enough for such speeds… but because of this I deactivated the Cupra mode immediately. Thank you!

  • 200€ Compensation for loss of dynamic turn signals & welcome ceremony

    Hey together, as surely some have already noticed, there was at Leon now the disappearance of the dynamic turn signaler & the welcome ceremony. Probably from KW18, occasionally later. Now there are some, where the dealers have actively addressed this and there is probably 200€ gross as compensation on the part of the manufacturer for it. Unfortunately, however, one also hears again and again from dealers, who allegedly know of nothing or bring smaller sums into circulation. Therefore let us here a practice Creating visibility: https://docs.google.com/…/…KL2STpZ4t5xe5ZdEofYYyzNr3r6tztQaRw6YFEw

  • Cupra Leon ST eHybrid 245 PS

    Hello dear Forumgemeinde, I’m new here again (already registered earlier) and hope for corresponding experiences of like-minded people. On the situation: Currently I drive an X3 20d with 190 hp, since the leasing ends in mid 24 and I have made the personal decision that I no longer want to drive an SUV, but want to return to the station wagon, I have ordered a Cupra. Chic design, qualitatively well processed I find. I can charge at home and at the employer’s place for EUR 0.36. I have already read that the range is realistically 40 KM. What are your experiences like, is the car fun? A bit of worry I have before the topic of software I hope that I will not fall on my nose with my first cupra. Thank you for your experiences!

  • Problems with leased Cupra Leon – Reduce leasing rates?

    Hi together, I am currently driving a CUPRA Leon ST VZ 2.0 4Drive in leasing. As much as I love this car, I also have some problems with the soft- and hardware in the car, like many others here in the forum. On the one hand, the speaker at the front in the middle regularly gives off very annoying scratching and interference noise and on the other hand my front-assist and the occupant protection repeatedly falls out in case of heavy rain. In addition, the infotainment often hangs up from now on and Car-P lay loses the connection to the mobile phone. This morning I brought the car again (for the 4th time this year) due to the many problems in the workshop. I talked to the workshop manager briefly about the topic and that I am by far not an isolated case, as shows for example the current report of the car picture to Cupra. In a side sentence the workshop manager mentioned that I was due to the many problems and the given problems by Cupra times to check if I can’t shorten/suspense the leasing rates. So far, no official error description from the manufacturer led to the problems becoming less, rather, due to software updates, there were more problems. Does anyone have any experience, if I can do something there? I am aware that nobody can/should do a legal challenge here, but are there perhaps reports of similar cases? Thank you in advance and greetings Jens

  • When to change oil for the first time with Formentor Benziner (190hp)

    When should you change oil for the first time with a Cupra Formentor Benziner? I have driven the car since March 2022 and since 15,100km with it. The on-board computer indicates that the oil change is due only in 14,900km, which I do not really want to believe, because as a rule of thumb 15,000km swirled around in my head. Does the on-board computer have a Macke or can the oil change be due only after 30,000km? To the info: I have only been with the whole Re gistrations and user stuff busy, before I always drove “as a guest” with gray globe. Since short I have unlocked all connections only. Does it have something to do with it?

  • Reading axle measurement, car pulls to the right

    Hello, with my Formentor I have unfortunately only constantly problems. The biggest problem, however, is that the car almost always pulls to the right. Straight ahead is almost never in, in very rare cases it also pulls to the left. On my first workshop visit an axle measurement was carried out. One could see small deviations, see picture. These were allegedly corrected. Now the car still moved to the right after that. Again was allegedly measured, but no deviations were observed. Now I have new tires and again the same problem. My question: can you tell by the protocol whether the car with the red marked values would rather pull to the right? I think they have “corrected” nothing on the first visit. Meanwhile, I also believe that they just don’t want to do something about it because it is still in the warranty. According to another Cupra workshop, one would have only up to 10,000 km on sol The master of this cupra dealer has been driving along and also found that the car is moving to the right. However, an axle measurement would cost, since I have over 10,000 km on it and the other workshop is actually still in the obligation to repair the car.

  • Winter rims allegedly unsuitable

    Nice Sunday Together, I only had my Cupra Leon ST for three months and was now for winter in three workshops (2 Cupra dealers and one free) and am a little surprised that I could not sell all winter bikes. For my car there would be none, you could only offer me all-year tires to pull on the summer rims… On the free market there would certainly be some, but they wouldn’t fit 100% and then possibly push against the brake blocks. Jaa, cool? Online Also always comes the message that there is no choice for my factory. Can give me a website where there are definitely suitable complete wheels. Thank you already

  • VZ 310 or VZ5

    Hello together, I’m interested in the VZ 310 or VZ5. I’d get one of them soon. I’ve driven both but I can’t decide if I really should invest more than 10,000 euros for the VZ5 as well as it costs more in maintenance. How would you decide?

  • Delivery time CUPRA Leon 245PS

    Moin together, I ordered a Cupra Leon 245 HP in mid-March and received an e-mail from Cupra on Sunday. Unfortunately, I don’t get any feedback from my car dealership. I assume that the cars come from Barcelona by ship. After a short search, a transport ship for cars named GRANDE ELLADE arrives in Barcelona in about an hour, someone happens to know from experience whether it has worked from factory to port and Cupras with this ship transp Does anyone know how long the ship will take from Barcelona to Cuxhaven and from there still by train to North Rhine-Westphalia? Thank you in advance. Mfg Julian

  • Warranty extension possible with Cupra or Seat?!

    Hello, I want to have this long a Cupra Leon, maybe also Seat Leon buy, the 1.4 plug in hybrid, 204 or 245 ps, about the vehicle we have discussed very detailed , to me many different opinions in the other thread, Now it’s about another question, namely the warranty extension, maybe it has been completed by one of you and can say something about it, It’s like that I don’t want to buy there vehicle without warranty extension, I also sc hon on the website (see the link below informed) And would you still have several questions about this, 1. Is this warranty extension only intended for vehicles up to 2 years?! That means the vehicle is already 2 years and 1 month there is no possibility to complete the warranty extension up to 3 more years?! According to my research, the warranty extension should not be inferior to the factory warranty!! 2. According to the website of Seat, there is a guarantee for To complete vehicles from 2 years old (which means different). Partially with a deductible and without, how useful is this possibility?! By price, it would be about 55€ per month Have there several vehicles that interest me, but only one is up to 2 years old, the rest among other things all Cupra Leons, are just over 2 years, and still cost 25,000€. Therefore the purchase comes only with the possibility of a warranty extension to stand. Merci https://www.seat.de/…/garant Is there any change?
