When I was thinking about going stage 1 everyone I talked suggested the clutch be replaced for an upgraded unit, the total cost involved made me reconsider quickly.

Basically from the opinions and experiences of people I've spoken to I would say if you do decide to go stage 1 make sure you have some spare cash availabe and be prepared to upgrade the clutch quicker than you thought you might have to, also look into the cost of the part and fitting too, it's not cheap.

What was the mileage when you got mapped to stage 1?
My car got mapped to stg 1 at approximately 6k miles. Upgraded to stg 2+ approx 20k later and as I mentioned, friction plate was in great shape. In fact it's still in my garage.

These are wise words. Of course when running a higher level of power/torque then items (especially one's that operate using friction) will deteriorate quicker than when standard.

There are quite a few people who've run stg 2+ on standard clutches with no problems but they are certainly in the minority.

It's all about taking care of the clutch too......don't add extra unnecessary stresses to it by driving style etc. :thumbup:

Might be a daft question, and I probably already know the answer.. But m.o.t is tomorrow, am I wise to remove my l.e.d sidelights and return to stock?

I'll check them, you've just reminded me actually one was flickering on one if it's l.e.d's but it stopped recently.. Might ***** out and swap them but it's such a ballache with massive hands :( lol

Cheers by the way :)

I would sort out the flickering ones mate.

I know it's a right pain swapping them around if you have big hands.

My Cupra doesn't feel as sharp recently, I am wondering if I plug it into a fault code reader something may pop up? Can anyone recommend a fault code reader for the mk2 cupra??
