Hello,

I have a Seat Leon Cupra ST 300 4Drive (2020 model) with a 7-speed DSG transmission, and I would like to ask about the engine's behavior in D (Drive) mode at low RPM, below 2,000 rpm.

I have noticed significant vibrations from the engine, especially in 7th, but also 6th, 5th gear, sometimes they can also be felt from 4th gear onwards. The vibrations occur approximately between 1,700 and 2,000 rpm. What seems strange to me is that there are no vibrations below 1,700 rpm.
I would understand these vibrations if the engine were under load, for example when driving uphill, but they can also be felt while driving on a level road.

My question is for owners of the same model: do you experience similar vibrations, or could there be something wrong with my car?

Thank you very much in advance.
 
I have the same car and don't experience any rev related vibrations

I do occasionally get a droning noise related to road speed, which comes and goes and which I thought might be a wheel bearing, but the independent VAG specialist I take it to for servicing says is caused by the tread on the tyres "saw toothing", so nothing to worry about.
