Picked up a Cupra today, few questions..

Thankfully I'm one of those.

Very good price, I leased mine for £131 a month so was more than happy with that, now got a B9 S4 for £280 a month but always said I'd go back to a Cupra at some point for a 2nd car

I was lucky enough to have a lump some of money to buy a car and was extremely close to buying a Mégane RS trophy until I found out you could get a Cupra For so little.
The 2nd hand prices of my car are still higher than what I paid 9 months ago. So it's almost £0 a month lease if I sold today.
I don't plan on doing so though as love the car. It will no doubt plummet in the coming months but I can live with that.

The reason you have the “dash” in the sport dials is because it is too low a temperature to tell you. Same happens on mine it only shows a temperature I think after 50°c which takes a good 10 minutes of driving.

From what he's saying his dash dials are reading when above 50 but the main screen dials still aren't reading after that

Ah okay. Weird one. Possibly swipe them up/ down to change them around then swipe back through to them see if it jogs it to update.

Yes this worked, I didn't realise there were other dials to cycle through.

On some of the video reviews I've seen of the car from the film outside the car pops/farts on DSG upshifts, is this just in Cupra mode this happens? That fake sound thing is so loud I can't hear much else

 

[motty225]

Gearbox needs to be in S to get the louder up shift dsg farts

So it doesn't do it at all in manual mode?

As @Kirky has said, look in the boot for this

If you look at the picture I posted of the Sub in the boot you can see my sticker on the left

If you then go to this link, you can decipher the codes on the original car build

I checked my sticker and there are 1 or 2 codes in the middle that have either got wet somehow or just rubbed off and I can't read them.

I checked all the other codes and they were just generic stuff the car has standard though. I 100% have the Seat sound with that in the boot though and it has heated seats so also the winter pack.

Sorry yes, manual in the dsg is basically sport but you do the shifts so you will get the farts at the correct rpm

Is it just me or does the accelerator pedal have quite alot of travel before anything happens while driving (In any setup), I can pump the pedal probably not far off half way down while coasting and the revs don't move.

Revving it in park seems to react alot higher up the pedal though.

 

[motty225]

Definitely shouldn't be that much travel in it

I'll have another mess around when I'm next in it, maybe get my local independent to give it a once over as well.

This isn't right. Even in comfort I don't need much movement of the pedal.

Not right that, mine is almost instant in any mode.

I think the pedal is just how it is in D mode, where it feels that its a deadzone it keeps the car at about 2krpm but you just have to push harder to accelerate, its more responsive in S or manual. The D mode in my MK2 FR felt more responsive though I think.

I've not seen it mentioned anywhere but I noticed also when in S mode or S but shifted into manual, the car idles at 1200rpm instead of about 800 and the turbo is always spooling ready to go from standing.
