MK3 SEAT Leon CUPRA's owner's register

[CupraGeezer]

So I think as long as you vary the rpm ie don’t idle it and don’t rag it when it’s cold or redline it all the time you. Will be alright. At least that’s what I’m telling myself as I can’t help driving it quickly!! ’

This would be my advice too. Varying the revs is important in the early miles as it avoids gazing the bores. A throrough warm up is important too - E92 M3s were famous for running their big end bearings but this could be avoided by staying below 3,000 rpm until the oil was up to 100 deg.

It says don’t go over 4000 revs ?

so far I think 3000 is max mine has gone to,I’m just driving in comfort with slightly less than normal throttle between 5-30%
It’s nearly done 200 miles

I think at 300 I’ll will maybe give it a bit more 3500 max and then 600 onwards open it up

that seems to fit in with all the advice don’t baby it but nurture it

In comfort to be fair it changes gear between 2-2500 revs

it was more the don’t full throttle it Part I didn’t agree with - going to or towards the redline every so often should be good for the engine as long as everything is warm as will help the run in process in my opinion! So yes don’t baby it but don’t drive it like you’ve robbed it (easier said than done that bit)

That's just the production lines, from the looks of it? No mention of shipping, which will be handled by the port workers and shipping companies that VW contract work to.

Got it this morning! Before the allotted time slot actually at around 8.45am. Driver took it for a wash too which wasn't needed as I would've cleaned better but can't complain. Now time to play with it!

I’ve spent hours on mine and cannot get it to not sound like a bag of s!!t. Thinks it’s just an awful stereo. Really ruins the owning experience for me. (Standard 300 cupra st) would be interested if anyone has some ‘good’ settings too

Sweet. Hope you enjoy it.

Hello mate. Looks brilliant! If you don’t mind me asking how much did it cost? I have mine on a lease and wondering if it’s worth investing re the inevitable scratch and chip charges at the return date

Ended up paying £400 which was for Cquartz,Gliss and inside protection

Got a good deal,think it is about £650 normally

Well TBF I want it not to for as long as possible just to ensure it’s fully fully set.Can take 1-2 weeks before you can wash it.

I mean it’s set but you know what I mean.

There is a local company to me offering something called ‘kamikaze’ Coating. I’ll be honest I know nothing about it. Is it good?
