MK3 SEAT Leon CUPRA's owner's register

[Halvar]

I have to agree, after all the delay due to WLTP seat decided to start building cupras with one type of gearbox and won't tell anyone the specs and then for some reason they have then decided in week 42 to build cupras with a different gearbox. Wouldn't they have to change all the post building testing to that?

 

[Halvar]

I've consulted my crystal ball

SEAT are going to decide to put all the cupras on the next ship so we can all be happy.

The boat sinks.

No casualties, except all our cars drown.

SEAT quote an extra 5 months on top for delivery of replacements.

What does everyone do now?

Head to the Winchester and wait for it to all to blow over?

Does anybody know the full route of Pegasus Ace before it gets to the UK

Once it gets to Barcelona it will go to Setubal, then it will go to Zeebrugge then Sheerness, Tyne and then Grimsby on the way back to Barcelona

Is it the same as Aquarius Ace?

Ive been watching them both and they run the same route, they don't stop anywhere on the way back just straight to Barcelona

 

[Seriously?]

When we were waiting for Mrs Seriously's ST and I was keeping an eye on the shipping, occasionally they did the Zeebrugge stop on the way back to Barcelona rather than inbound to the UK. There was also at one point a third vessel in the mix - can't remember the name.

Watched a clip of the Ateca.

Its not in English but the first few seconds are all you need to hear.

Not suggesting anything about the Leon though.

I assume that is Magnetic Grey?

As I was bored earlier (and using information in the link from Matt_taylor) I did some research into the gearboxes and how it might affect performance. On balance I don't think it will at all, the 7th gear is an overdrive based on my data.

I have made quite a few assumptions (based on which gear uses which shaft in the gearbox) but it kind of checks out (roughly).

Not sure tbh, when they announced the color palette for the Ateca CUPRA the available grey colour was called "Rodium Grey".

I was just expecting it to provide lower revs on the Mway and slightly better MPG.

Are the clutch plates any bigger/stronger can it hold more torque than the 6spd version?

A little more, 420 > 400 Nm

Only thing i find annoying with videos like this is the lack of timeline.. it keeps jumping forward and backwards in the build..

You were right, the description under this video says the same:

 

[CupraRobX]

I know we all suspected this, but I've now had it confirmed 100% by Seat Product support that the copper badge changes etc are only from week 42 onwards. What we still don't know is whether the FrankenCupras between cw38-42 will have the 6 speed DSG or 7 speed DSG.

All I know is that despite placing my order in February and it being accepted first week of March, I still have no build week, so I’ll definitely get all the copper.

Same as you except my order was January...

I've assume your waiting on a ST also? Has your order been converted to MY19 yet, or do you think it's waiting on the technical information now due end of the month/early November?

Was quite surprised that they have released two different trim editions post the summer factory reopening.

Have you sought any further confirmation on the changes for the pre week 42?

I remember past discussions about the winter pack and upgraded sound. Did you have those confirmed?

With regards to the DSG my post week 42 build still displays as 6spd in the SLI, if it's going to change it'll be from next week.

Although I'm still waiting on a build week I've been told no colour change. Apparently the new changes will look good on a Nevada white so I shouldn't worry.
