SeatCupra.net Berkshire forum meet March 2020

Looking at getting a VCDS Cable and software for my 2001 LC but looking at prices a little out of my range . Wandering if there's anywhere reliable to get a cheaper one as I have a door lock issue that's causing my immobilizer to sometimes activate and prevent my car running. I would also like...

Planning on doing a couple of repairs to the car while things are a bit weird out there, and decided I want to sort out some rust inside the offside rear door. Thankfully it's on the inside, so it won't show too much if I don't do the best job, but what I'm thinking it needs is just to be...

Hi All, I've probably gone a bit over the top adding the Service & MOT detail but i thought it is about time i do a build thread for my car so I can look back at progress and appreciate the car in years to come, but also to share with all of you. Hopefully you can all appreciate the car as I...

Hi all My Cupra R mk1 225 has failed it's MOT on the rear back seat lock mechanism. My local garage has contact Seat and tried various car parts shops but can't source one. Does anyone know where I could buy one? Failing that, does anyone have a part number? Finally if I'm unable to source one...

Hi there, So I recently passed my test and got myself a 2005 Leon cupra TDI 150bhp, I'm kind of confused what model as I've been told it's a special one a short it's got a big standard front mounted intercooler. Car feels great but last night me and a few pals went for a cruise and on the way...

The only thread with really useful information on this is archived, so I can't post there, but I'm having a real pain with fixing my boot release. Trim is off and I've done the usual of lubing the mechanism. I thought this had worked, but all I'd actually done was fix the problem temporarily by...

Completely new to this forum so figured I'd make a bit of a thread on this little project I've acquired It's a 1.9 TDI 110 SE, it's had a remap and had the Cupra R kit very poorly stuck on to it (If anyone has either the Cupra or Cupra R front bumper for sale I'd be interested! As previous...

Looking to sell my beloved Cupra R in platinum grey, bought the car with 67500miles in 2016 and now on 73500 miles. Car has just had an MOT yesterday and mechanics couldn't believe how good condition it was in, low mileage and always been looked after regardless of cost. Car has never been...

Hi, I've been having this weird clunk noise coming from the front end of the car. My car is a 2005 1.9TDI Seat Leon (1M) When i start braking there is a single clunk coming from the front end of the car. Mainly happens when coming to a stop. When i pull away again there is another clunk as if...

About seven years ago I was involved in a front end crash. After the repair, I noticed that the bumper and grill have never sat as flush with the bonnet as they used to. It was something that always bothered me, but I didn't know enough about cars then to be able to say anything or do anything...

This is why we can't have nice things... Brighton is full of a-holes - I've never had so much damage on my car. From scrapes on bumpers to people hitting the driver's side while turning in the road. This is the latest. Someone drove into the back while the car was parked, splitting the bumper...

Hello all, Decided to start a thread to follow my progress, gain ideas and answer possible queries. Will be uploading some pictures to show how she currently sits and what has been done so far along with future prospects. Stay tuned!

hi all I seem to have a problem, Now this could be completely normal but I doubt it as never experienced it before. I installed a new defat full system recently and no boost doesn’t build till about 3.5k and when it hits around3.5 k it’s like a switch it hits hard there’s absolutely no gradual...

Hi there, Longtime lurker etc. etc. etc... A few years ago I had a garage replace my nearside rear lock, but being the cowboys they are, when they put the door back together, they didn't replace the window expansion pin. As a result, the window hasn't gone down because it's not been attached...

My bonnet lever to pop the bonnet snapped, any ideas how to open it without it ? Thanks in advance

Can some one point me in the direction of how to fix my clutch please. I have a '04 plate Seat Leon Mk1 1.9tTDi fr. Sorry for the length of the post but I’ve tried to give as much detail as I can remember in the info below: A few weeks ago, my clutch went while driving to work and when the...

Hi all, Sorry if I've posted in the wrong place as not strictly a guide, but thought I'd share a link to some workshop manuals I found online. I had a bit of a search and couldn't find this anywhere, so thought I'd post a link in here in case they are of use. Sorry if this is a duplicate post...

Hi All, My first major post, I know this sort of thing has been discussed before and I've done quite a bit of reading. I'm really looking for someone with first hand experience to give some advice, thanks in advance! So I got my Cupra for what I think was a decent price in the knowledge that...
