Cupra r couple of questions
- Thread starter Ghunter
- Start date
Over and above normal issues with used cars check bonnet lining, goes mouldy due to poor bonnet/panel joint, several threads on here about that. Check wheels and tyres, the 35 profile tyres are prone to pot hole damage, wheels can be buckled too. Check wear on inside of rear's , if tyres have 'saw tooth ' type wear on them car will be noisy ( sounds like worn wheel bearing) and will need 4 wheel alignment . Side bolsters on front seats have been an issue on some. If you know the reg of the car you are looking at might be worth posting on here, someone may know it and the history.
Do some searches on here, there are a few threads about common Leon issues , over and above what I've mentioned above.

Is it the red one in charles hurst out of interest? It was a little over priced i thought and they fitted 4 new tyres but there budget tyres also they lock nuts wernt fitted only 4 nuts :S. He told me to hand brake it around the carpark lol. Its been on sale sense may id be a bit wary if i was you.
If they are budget kung po specials they won't last 5 minutes if it's been ragged. I don't ever recall been told to try handbrake turns on any test drives I've been on.... maybe I'm going to the wrong dealers
if you are looking to buy and the tyres are worn/cheap/shite allow for that , decent 19's will be around £120 upwards. might be worth checking the one's fitted are correct rating, I'm sure correct is (I'm in bed and cba to go and look at car) 235/35 r19 91Y , if they are not it can be an issuewith insurance etc. possibly leverage on price?
