hi
Just got my new Cupra R on Friday, done 500 miles in it already so I'm thinking in a week or so when its properly run in n I've done about 1500 miles I'll get the oil changed and then get it re-mapped. I've been searching the forums and I've got a few questions from the things I've read:
1. What is an FL Cupra? Is mine an "FL" because its brand new?
2. People seem to keep mentioning the clutch being weak on newer Cupras - can anyone see that being a problem with a stage 1 Bluefin remap? Some suggest that Bluefin is one of the more gentle remaps so I'm hoping not.
3. I'm sure I read somewhere that on newer Cupras you couldn't just upload your own ECU map via the diagnostics port like you used to be able to. Can anyone confirm? Bluefin/Superchips have said that if they send me the device and it won't work then they'll happily give me my money back but if everyone says there's no point even trying on a newly built Cupra then I probably won't bother.
4. Anyone know any insurance companies that aren't going to f**k me for having a re-map that adds about 40 bhp? Best quote I've had so far is £2000 from Admiral. Adrian Flux won't even insure me on it without the remap
5. Anyone else had a bluefin remap done on their Cupra? I'd love to hear your experiences with it
Thanks!
Chris
