Leon Cupra 280 - Common Faults/ Routine Maintenance

[ben]

I am looking at getting a DSG Leon Cupra 280 (likely under 60k miles) and am wondering what are the ‘common issues/faults’ with these cars?

Is there any specific maintenance that is recommended at certain milestones to keep everything running smoothly (on top of your regular service, engine oil change and MOT)?

Anything to look out for in particular when viewing a Cupra 280 based on common faults?

Thanks

Service Schedule you can find here https://forums.seatcupra.net/index.php?threads/leon-mk3-official-seat-workshop-manuals-link.442353/ check for your car and in the folder you will see a item called Maintenance which will give you all you need

Keep on top of haldex and dsg fluid changes.

I want to add oil changes engine, not to long distance between them. Goes for all cars. Long Life service 30000 km distance not my way of maintanace !

The VAG MQB platform with the EA888 engine (as in Leon Cupra) is a very reliable. It’s more the former owners maintenance of the car which will have impact on the condition as always.



Good luck!
