I've recently bought a cupra 300 st (just a little over 50k miles) , had it a little over a month now and all seems to be fine with it, other than the front suspension making a funky noise. Just wanted to ask if there's some stuff I should I should do to the car to make sure it stays in good nick. This is my second car and it's a massive jump from my previous ( had an 09 1.2 fiesta before ) so big difference in terms of power and I just wanna know what's like some dos or don'ts to make sure it stays running good for the duration I own it.

I'm gonna change the sparks plugs cause I don't believe they've been changed before and I've got it booked in for a dsg service, they did the haldex for me when I bought it but just wondered what else I should look into.

I'm thinking about getting a induction kit, mainly to get some more turbo noise because the car is quiet af. I won't be doing any tuning or stuff like that anytime soon due to the warranty I've got.

But yeah if anyone has any tips to help me out it would be much appreciated, I'm not a massive "car guy" so I'm not too sure on what stuff does or how to keep stuff running good.

Cheers
