Hey guys, I recently bought my CUPRA Leon 1.4 ehybrid, its on 17k miles and a 2024, it was an ex cupra head office lease car, so my concerns about how it was treated before is quite low, recently its making a rattling noise on cold starts with the engine manually started through the screen or the brake+throttle trick, I've also got some warning lights that intermittently come on and off, slowing down the gearbox makes like a "wheeeee" noise on regen, when its changing down gears, and sometimes it feels like theres a big delay on accelerating fast, off junctions roundabouts etc, has anyone got any thoughts or is most of this normal and im just overreacting LOL, not to worry its booked in with my local CUPRA garage under warranty anyway, just seeing if anyone has any tips or any hints :))
