I've had my 2017 Cupra 300 DSG since November last year. It's got Bridgestone 235/35 r19 tyres on the front. Although the front end grip round corners is awesome I find that they let go too easily from a standing start so that the traction control kicks in. Apart from that making it feel like...

Good evening, guys. I have a question about my Seat. I have Seat Leon 2018 DSG 150ps. After clutch swap, i noticed, that car sometimes vibrating when I accelerating at first gear.. It happens for very short time, a few second. It feels like a wheel spin.. But it is not.. RPM can be at 1.5k or...

Hello all, The last couple of weeks I've been having troubles with my Seat Leon 1.9 TDi. It seems to have lost alot of it's pace at higher speeds. The acceleration will slow right down when I'm in 3rd gear and reach 50mph and continue even if I change gear to 4th/5th. I tried bypassing the...

Following engine rebuild and a few more mods, initial testing of my Skoda Fabia went well and performance is pretty good. I am sure there will be more to come though once my 4 year old mapping is updated. [B)] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMCeMIPL0sY

Hi, Anyone know what LCR's are like compared to S3's I've heard they 'feel' a bit faster because they are FWD and a little lighter, is that true? Book speed S3's are quicker to 60 which would indicate they must be quite a bit quicker in general as they don't hit 60 in 2nd gear, I have...

Within the TSi models Cupra/Boc/FR if you have a car with 4/5 people is the pull on it noticeably different? Such as a standard 1.4 accelerating with 1/2 people or then with 4/5 people?

Im looking at buying a cupra from a fair distance away.. i was given the info so that i could HPI the car, while doing so i though i would check out all the past MOT's online... On the last MOT under the advisories it says... EXHAUST EMITS BLUE SMOKE DURING ACCELERATION:confused: Now...

Hi Guys Im looking at buying some new alloys soonish for the cupra but not sure what size to get, it has 17" on it now so dont know weather to stay with 17" or go down to 16" as i heard 16" are beter for acceleration - is this true?? and i heard a larger wheel like 18" will slow it down on...

Hi everyone, new to the forums, I had a search around before posting with regards to my problem - I saw a few similar topics but they all seemed to have different conclusions. Just to introduce the car a little, I have a 57 Leon FR 170PS TDi DPF, I got it with delivery mileage (25 miles) and...

come up to some traffic light went to pull away and revved up to about 2k as i pulled away, then the revved intermittantly just drop as i was applying the power, causing my to nearly stall - next to no power at all for that second or so. further up the road in 4th at about 30, same thing was...

:wtf: Hi All. First post on here. Got my hands on a 1.8 20VT Cupra 51 Plate. Love the car and most of the time it's a joy to drive but once every few days I get really patchy acceleration. In every gear the car seems to go then it doesn't then it does then it doesn't :whistle: you get...

As above really. Was driving back from Brands hatch today and got 3/4 of the way home before I was accelerating up a hill and started getting a very loud vibration noise coming from the rear of my car. Checked the exhaust and heat shield - they are ok. I know the rear wheel bearings need doing...
