New car, white cupra

[Polyyboy]

Bought a cupra from my local garage a few days ago. Few things wrong with it like oil return feed from the turbo is leaking, downpipe from the turbo is blown. Its boosting to 24psi in every gear with standard internals etc . Will get some pics up. Anybody seen this car before because I want to know more about it.

The car looks great on the photos!

Take a look at this thread though as I'm guessing it's the same car. Advert is gone from the website, and I can see "Gate" on the sign in the background!

Clicky

Yeah i saw the car up for sale on autotrader. Looks really good, shame about the problems. It must be a respray as the cupra did'nt come in candy white.

nice motor.

is it still £80 to transfer private plate ?

 

[lil3520]

only problem with CANDY WHITE is, the tar spots !!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Polyyboy]

Aye cost me 80 quid to transfer it mate. The previous owner has used the wrong bolts for the downpipe on the exhaust and the bolts are stuck in the turbo lol. Good job its under warrenty. And the electronic boost pipe was dissconnected compleatly. Was almost boosting 1.9 bar lol. Good job I noticed it. And it used to be red

[Polyyboy]

abs light and traction control isnt working now ha. Think the sensor is knocked off. Good job its under warranty

 

[rf860]

Sounds like the last owner has been tinkering with stuff he does'nt know how to work! Good luck on getting it back to tip top condition.

Hopefully you got it for a good pricd to offset the problems ha ha. Did'nt you have a 1.2 before? Must be a big difference in power ha ha

Just commented on the other thread about this car. It looks the part but the last boy had nothing but problems and it got DEATH everywhere it was driven! Not one i would buy knowing the history

 

[Polyyboy]

Aye man I was like, f##King hell when I put the foot down lol. Fitted a boost gauge during the week and looking to get a forge dump valve for it. Cars getting a full machine polish to get the paint work sorted out. Gonna take good care of this.

What do you mean by it 'got death' everywhere it was driven?

everyone's entitled to their own opinions, but surely you could show some respect to the guy for taking it on? maybe the last guy didn't know what he was doing?

respect to you for going from the 1.2 to the cupra! just done the same myself
