Ok, thanks for your reply. I thought the 1.4 TSI Petrol would make some noice and thus the insulation would be needed. If you still have the part number, please share it. I need to then make my mind, whether to order it or not.Only Leon E-Hybrid is like this with no insulation... but trust me you don't need it... it is a very quite engine, even in big loads. I wanted to do the same and is just around 50EUR the original part (from Seat) but I didn't do it in the end. It is much quieter than many competitor cars so... I relaxed
OK. Thanks. I'll start without the bonnet insulation then and order it afterwards if really needed (most likely not).
Yeah, my car was delayed 9 weeks here in Sweden. It's because there is a computer chip shortage due to C19. And boy does this car have a lot of computer chips in itOK. Thanks. I'll start without the bonnet insulation then and order it afterwards if really needed (most likely not).
BTW, It seems to be very difficult to get the car. I've ordered it at the end of November 2020 and still waiting. Production of my car is supposed to be started at the end of this month, 6 months from ordering :O and that may not even hold. It could take even longer...
Too bad they didn't go for a better CPU for the infotainment system. I mean a €200 Android tablet from 5 years ago has more horsepower then this car (pun intended ). I don't understand how the infotainment system can be so slow and unresponsive in this day and age.
I am using iPhone so I hope the Apple CarPlay would work faster and not slow the system down. I have noticed in my existing car (Leon ST, 5F) that when iPhone is connected via cable to the infotainment system, the system is quite responsive. But whey my son connects his Android phone, the system starts generally lag and sometimes even hang. Maybe the Android has some features which Seat is not that familiar with? Android updates itself quite often and has generally more changes in the core system.Yeah, my car was delayed 9 weeks here in Sweden. It's because there is a computer chip shortage due to C19.

Especially if you connect Android Auto to the car all the car menus are so slooow you can have a coffee break between swipes. Luckily the actual Android Auto function is working flawlessly for me when it has connected correctly. It connects correctly about 98% of the time. The other 2% I need to restart the car and/or the infotainment system and also maybe the phone to get it working again :/
But overall I'm still liking the car. My work trips are very cheap on electric and on my latest long-haul the car used 4.8l/100 km. Not bad considering the 1721kg weight of the car. Also kicking it into sport mode when overtaking and getting that electric boost... nice indeed
If you haven't noticed you can change to sport mode and back again by pulling down on the gear selector (on the eHybrid at least).
