So have 1 really annoying negative on my cupra. The sports gauges, the one that tell you the amount of power the car is producing, always changes to temp reading when i start the car, even though i already have one of the other ones set to temp. Its drives me mad

Mine change sometimes and other times stay as I've set them. Hardly use them though, would prefer proper gauges as they have in the Focus but as SEAT have gone all digital dash now no chance of that.

I have this issue on mine also. The far left gauge changes almost daily from boost PSI to the geforce dial. Ive put it down to a Spanish annoyance :whistle:.

I have this - stupidly annoying! When I told Seat about it, they said a software update would fix it...yet tried to charge me for it, even whilst my car is still in warranty...

Had car now for 2½ years and 3 services, never gets any sw updates even though I explicitly ask for it... It's a scam.

Did anyone ever suss out why these gauges change after you have set them ?
It appears to be the left gauge keeps changing to GeForce even though I chose psi previously.

I just phoned Seat in Preston (local dealer) and they just played dumb - well I hope they were playing dumb!

They don’t do software updates apparently.

Read somewhere that I’ll get better luck with Blackpool dealer so going to give them a call shortly and see if I can play them off the Preston dealer and get some decent customer service!

Blackpool SEAT ( COX motor group ) are pretty good for service work.

The service manager Simon is a pretty good guy to deal with.
