Paddle shifter

[Anthony haddad]

Hey i am new member and i wanna ask a question i have a seat ibiza 2013 its a coupe and i need to know if i can install a set of paddle shifters and what about air intake system is it possible ? Thanks in advance

Is it an fr with dsg? If so you would need the setup from the previous fr/ cupra in order to get the paddles, and then swap it into your car. I guess it would then need wired. It would probably cost more than its worth tbh.

It is not an fr but i have the 1.6 105 hp and i think i have DSG transmission so if i have the DSG will it work ?

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

I don't think it is DSG, had a search about there and couldn't see anything about it being so

 

[Anthony haddad]

I made sure it is a DSG so if it is can i install paddle shifters ? And what about an air intake system can i install one ? And would it improve the horsepower ? Thanks in advance guys i am asking all the questions because i am new to seat

Air intake would probably only improve engine noise.
If you have DSG you can install the paddle shifters also, some guy on a dutch forum did it. Think you need to buy the steeringwheel (with paddles), one extra cable and do some VCDS settings.

I imagine that paddles would be pretty dear because I think you do indeed need to buy the whole wheel and setup would probably be a few hundred as well.
For power, a remap would probably be your best and most cost effective bet

You will need to purchase a Cupra/Fr steering wheel and probably the loom. That could be very costly.

Should of just ordered the car with it.

A barely use mine at all day to day like.

 

[Anthony haddad]

Really a grand to install it ?:O what about remaping how much does it cost ?

No, alot cheaper. You can find a steeringwheel on Ebay. Here is a quote from the dutchguy that did it on his 1.2TSI;

-Bocanegra stuur (nieuw voor 120 euro Ebay)
-Airbag adapterkabel (50 euro bij de SEAT dealer)
-Ombouwen airbag en adapterkabel heb ik zelf gedaan, maar VAGtechniek kan dit ook voor je doen. Ook moeten die een draad trekken en het stuur aanmelden. Vagtechniek kan je van de prijzen voorzien.

-He bought a Boc steeringwheel for 120euro on ebay (can be found for 120~300, depends on your luck)
-Airbag adapterkabel, which can be bought for 50euro at the dealer, but some wheels on ebay already have those.
-rebuild, have to put the airbag in the new steeringwheel (if you bought one without), place the new adapterkabel, and then add some extra wire and add the setting in VCDS.

He spend around 200euro... (which is like 160pound?)
VAGTechniek is an enthusiastic garage, they do all kinds of OEM mods for people for reasonable prices. So you might have to spend a bit more at the dealer if you have it installed there.

if it was me id go to your local dealer and see if they could do it. the only problem i could see if you do it is that they my void your waranty on your car.

second hand obviously cheaper but the steering wheel new is about 500+ quid, then you have the cost of someone installing it, i'd say about a grand is what i would budget new and about 600 2nd hand.

They are a good little gimmik but i really dont think its worth it , you would be better off getting a remap (£400 ish )or a spoiler or something imo .
