Hi everyone, I'm a newbie to this forum but not to cupra's as am now on my third one.
My current one being a 2020 290 mk3 which I am having a nightmare with!
I bought the car 2 years ago at 15000 miles from a large retailer in Enfield when she was about 18 months old. They only supplied one key which I questioned at the time but got nowhere. She drove without fault until 2 months ago at 24000 miles when she decided to not start, long story cut short I had the car recovered to an independent vag specialist in essex who have told me the key has failed as it was not an original key, they ordered me a new key from seat but then said this was scrap (£400) and couldn't be apapted as the immobilizer coding has been changed. They now say it needs a new lockset as the car needs a new identity, and may need the dash and engine edu replacing at considerable cost!
I'm guessing the car may have been a finance repossession or stolen hence the dodgy key although it didn't show up on hpi.
To be honest I'm now considering trying to sell the car as a non runner as I'm beginning to lose faith that they can repair it, plus I have no car.
Wondered if anyone out there had any ideas or knows of anybody that could help?
