Ibiza Cupra Broken Down (Need Advice)

Hi, how long have you owned this car, and was it bought from a SEAT main dealer?

Prior to you buying this car, did you do your homework as to what might go wrong with a car with the CAVE engine fitted?

I've never ever owned a VW Group car with this engine but I can understand why some people have been willing to take a gamble with them as they sound like that are amazing engines - for as long as they stay working. I think that there are many parts that need replacing to get a "failing" engine back to being a good engine again, ie repair by way of upgrading it.

Maybe do some research on this forum for what people normally do in your situation, and take it from there, I'd doubt if there is a market for a Cupra 1.4 Twincharger for spares as there will be many out there without a well running engine.

I hope that someone with knowledge of these cars replies to this thread, good luck!

Edit:- how much if any of the normal SEAT upgrade/fixes had already been applied to that engine?

Another Edit:- right, looking back through all the threads you have started on this car's problems, I see that you have had this car for over a year and have been pointed in the direction of what could be wrong with it and how to get that sorted out, so why are you not handing that car into a proper indep SEAT specialist and get a price from them to correct all that needs correcting to get this engine up to the latest/best level of upgrade so that it is reliable - or just bin it?

There's a huge thread on here going into lots of detail about the issues with the twin-charged engine, it doesn't make for comfortable reading if yours is broken though.
