hello cupra comunity,
After 4 months i collected my car back from the dealer ship after repair and the car seams to still have the same problem.
because the production of the cupra leon phev in Portugal is suspended there is hardly any of these cars that been sold here so i cant find anyone to compare my car too.

is there anyone here that has the same car as mine ( cupra leon phev) that i can talk to via whatsapp so that you can test your car and see if you can here the same clanking as mine. so that i can compair with mine.

just so i can see if this clanking is on every model or is just mine that does this.

Please any help is apreciated

Hi there,
I had similar noise issues. If you hit the car with your hand right over the wheel (right or left wheel), will you hear the noise? Or is it noticeable only while driving?
I was hearing the noise even when I did that hit with my hand (on the hood or over the wheel), while the car was stopped. After a lot of searching, I found out that the plastic cover under the engine (and under the whole car that is the continuation of the bumper to protect the car from bumps) wasn't screwed on well. So, I tightened the three bolts and the noise went away.
Hope that helps!

Update,
After 8 Months of my car at the dealer i got a new replacement from Cupra.
3 weeks later and 1200km no problems.
All is good now.

for my first new cupra st phev i paid 44000 euros witch was the base model with no extras.

after complaints and writing emails to the CEO's of Cupra Seat and VW Group telling them that i was going to take legal action they contacted me and told me that they are going replaced my car with a new one.
The car that they gave me is full of extras inc, diferente alloy wheels, safety pack XL, Mat Paint, Cupra Sports Steering Wheel, Matrix Headlights, Side Skirts, ect....
This car costs 53500 Euros and i did not have to play any extra.
Had to wait 4 months for the car but finally arrived.

here are some pictures of my car.

Hello! Same issue with my Cupra Formentor PHEV 204HP

I am taking legal actions due to I received an official letter from Cupra Martorell in Barcelona telling me that the problem is due to a construction technical characteristic related with the gearbox but it does not affect the useful life of the vehicle.

Anyway, any kind of breakdowns related with the gearbox are covered by Cupra.

My vehicle is 1 year old, totally new and with 8000km

any thoughts?
