Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
I've finally given up on mine. January order, Silver ST 4drive ordered through a broker, so no real updates on status. Cancelled yesterday, bought a pre registered Carbon Edition instead
Was yours built prior to WK42 with options?
My 4drive was built this week and is apparently waiting for a ship on either 5th or 12th November.
It seems like they have the technical data for the 19MY stuff from WK42 onwards, but anything prior to that is a bit unknown due to the option combinations.
Has anyone at all had a September onwards 4drive delivered yet?
I think you'll be fine for February, there was a huge backlog I've been waiting since last February and mine is getting built next week should have it the beginning of December. They are firing the cars out fairly quickly now.
Once they decided how they would beat the wltp regulations and finished the summer close down they seem to have got the finger out lol.Fair enough I thought I’d be waiting till October instead for mine by the way I’ve been reading the comments
She’s all ready for Hot Hatch Sunday tomorrow
Sorted out my insurance with elephant. Paid £1111. For a 22 year old. They mirrored my NCB from my other car. So both cars (and my sister's) will be on a multi car policy. Not bad I don't think! Considering I was getting quoted from 2-5k!
Roll on Monday

I’d hope that yours will be on the standard timeline, which for a cupra is about 20-26 weeks. Ours have been delayed due to wltp but they are building them now. Although shipments are still a bit sketchy for 4drives.. (some euro cars have been delivered, but not aware of any post wk42 in the U.K. Yet)
It was Buy a New Car Online. I know from others who used them the cars came through Jennings Seat but they wouldn’t give me any info

Its not as straight forward as it seems. Can’t comment on the manual, but on the DSG car, the ‘engine’ mode determines the gearbox mode. In reality the different engine modes make no difference to power. It’s all about throttle response and how it works with the gearbox.
So economical mode is just ‘D/Drive’ but it drops out of gear when you lift off the throttle. It rengages when you touch either the brake pedal or accelerator.
Normal/Comfort, is just the normal engine throttle response and ‘D/Drive’.
Sport, puts the gearbox into sport mode, turns up the actuator and I suspect it also changes the throttle mapping to be more responsive.
If you’re in comfort mode and knock the gearbox into sport, it effectively turns the engine into this mode but leaves everything else in comfort (suspension etc).
Equally in sport mode if you knock the gearbox into ‘D/Drive’, the engine and gearbox go into Comfort mode and everything else stays in sport.
In Cupra mode the engine and gearbox are setup in sport, Actuauror goes into ridiculous mode, throttle response is improved, and because of the way the gearbox and engine mapping is setup you get the lift of pops etc.
Individual mode depends on your settings obviously:
If set to economical.
D = Economical, S = Sport
If set to comfort or Sport
D = Drive/Comfort, S = Sport
If set to Cupra
D= Drive/Comfort, S = Cupra
I hope that is now as clear as mud to you all! LOL

Yes but when you get back in the car make sure to put Cupra mode back on even if you left it like that. @AlexOS got that bit right about it not staying in Cupra mode engine/gearbox wise.so basically you are saying just drive in Cupra mode all the time!! lol
