View Full Version : New Leon Cupra
Just picked up my new Leon Cupra. I'm very pleased with the car so far however there are couple small niggles:
There is no CUPRA badge on the back and
There is no Radio status display in the instrument cluster.
Anybody know if I should be concerned?
------------------
The 20 VT's that you now buy dont normally come with a Cupra badge, as SEAT do not make the Cupra anymore in a Leon. Its called the 20 VT. You can get a badge though from your local dealer.
As for the radio, what do you mean?

Thanks for that. The dealer said he could get the badge for me.
The Car I test drove had the Radio/CD status displayed in the lower centre of the Instrument cluster on a single line LCD.
It can be seen on: http://www.seatcupra.net/images/inside/8.jpg
Mine is just blanked out.
Thanks in advance.

They should work if your running an AURU sound system, which i believe both of you will be.
Mine did it just displays the radio freq of the station or if its on an RDS station the name for instance Radio 1.
If its not working it may be a fault or the plug in the back of the stereo is not in properly.
Mine no longer works due to me changing my headunit from the factory spec to a Panasonic Headunit, as soon as it was removed the dash screen wouldn't work.

On another thought, just check your cars radio manual there may be an option to turn it on or off from the headunit, worth checking before you go to the dealer. http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/smile.gif

Daz its crazy aint it, i know my delaership is hopping mad about the changes, they lose sales because of it http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/frown.gif
Someone at SEAT is having a laugh at our expense http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/tongue.gif Why pull these features, just to penny pinch, i think these cars were well priced anyway, but to lower the cost their ripping out everything that makes them what they are, high quality cars at affordable prices.
Even though at the time i was annoyed by the price changes in my car, i paid £17000 for mine, and at that time felt i got a great car for my money, and really i still do.
It dismays me http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/confused.gif I thought it was bad enough when they respecced the Cupra, but its taking the piss now, and its going to put buyers off
