Hi guys
Took delivery of MY69 cupra at the start of the month and loving the car. However I have 2 problems.
First issue is gravel noise from the road. The first thing I realised when I drove the car first time was gravel noise.
I have driven on the same route for about a year for my daily commute in my 2006 1series, never had an issue with hearing gravel being kicked up from the road and this is from a car that had 129k on the clock at the time of selling.
The sound is coming from the rear passenger sides. Best way to explain it is, it just sounds like when the roads have been gritted and the grit salt is being kicked up from the road in to the cars arches. Anyone else having this issue or realised it, surely the cars sound dampening is not that bad?
The gravel noise is really pissing me off as it just makes the car sounds cheap!
My second issue is about after a week of owning the car. I done about 150 miles if that, I realised that after a week the steering wheel is not straight, Is my alignment is out? I did not go over any big potholes either.
Bit of a long shot but will alignment be covered under warranty as the car has only 600 miles on it.
Any responses will be appreciated as I’m not sure what to do. Don’t really want to give the car in as I’m enjoying it so much. But if I have to then I have to.
