2013 Alhambra SE Ecomotive

[Joe_3490]

Good Afternoon Guys

My Partner have just agreed a deal on a 2013 Alhambra in Indium Grey, getting rid of her 2014 Ibiza ST,

We are hoping that this could be the car that she keeps for a good lenght of time with it being more than enough space for all the dog gear. its so hard to find a car with a decent size boot that we get get everything in. Think I have one Happy SWMBO


I have taken these from the Ad, Will get some when we actually collect the car

I was hoping to see if anyone has advice on the AdBlue and how often they find they have to refill it.

We got the car a week ago and the OH loves it, which is a good think it being her car afterall lol,
Finally got round to pluggin in my Carista adapter and playing around as the coming home lights did not seem to work and were not in the MFD options turns out it had been disabled previously, so enabled that and set the contry to AUS to activate the digital speedo in MPH and the outside temp is now constantly where KM/H was displayed,

I know the mirrors can be folded by turning the mirror dial to the position does anyone know if folding on locking is a function that i may need to get VDCS to activate,

another thing, Im looking to get a dash cam for this car, can i get reccomendations on a good quality, also does anyone know the best way to Wire it up so all cables can be hidden and not haing to plug it into the 12V socket, (Not a huge issue as the front has 2 available one in the armrest and 2nd infront on armrest?

If it's anything like my Leon you need to hold the lock button down for a second or two for the mirrors to fold... I know on the mk2 you can't change this to an instant fold on lock, even with VDCS (although you can on the mk3)

With regards to dashcam (again I'm mk2 Leon here) I got a cheap dashcam from amazon results are good enough for what I wanted though not super HD quality or anything. I got the nextbase hard wire kit and used that with it... piggyback off the ciggy lighter fuse in the fusebox near the driver side door, been in for at least 6 months no issues, turns on and off with the ignition.

Thanks for reply, I tried long hold but that made no difference, i contacted Carista and they havn't found a way of doing in on that model so might be a case of remembering to turn the knob

ill look into the dashcam's Nextbase do seem to be the most popular.

There is a topic for the folding mirrors with the keyfob http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=356313. It can be done really easy.
