Hi all
2 months ago I bought a 2016 Seat Leon Cupra 290 ST with 26K in the clock.
On Saturday I decided tune my car to a Stage 1 Remap. Figures...
Stock: 290 bhp / 350 nm
Tuned: 365 bhp/ 470 nm
A big jump in power.
After the map and after testing the new power output on the road, with the technician, you could smell the clutch burning and it was slipping when putting down the power. Especially from 5th to 6th. I dont recall it slipping before but it could have been and I've not noticed.
I immediately took this to a mechanic for inspection. Both the clutch and flywheel were burnt. This seemed strange on such a new car. Im not sure if the damage was done prior or has the remap forced/compounded the problem?
I've upgraded the clutch and flywheel but I'm scared this may happen again.
What else can I upgrade on the car to handle the power?
All comments welcome, thanks
