cupra 290

Hi All, have had my Cupra for just under a year now. Haven’t been hugely active on here but I am hoping someone can shed some light on a weird issue that has just started to happen. Under heavy acceleration in 4th/5th or 6th gear the revs start to increase then at about 3k they jump up a few...

Had a look around on the web and found lots of splitter kits and wide body kits etc. Does anyone know where I could find the trim that goes around wehre the fog lights are on the Cupra R or the R ST? I like the gloss black bit, not the copper bit. I am considering removing the fog light...

Hi All I have now had my Mk3 Leon Cupra 290 (WLTP Version) for a few days short of a year now and I thought that I would write a small review on it after 1 year and 8,000 miles of driving it. I had originally ordered a Skoda Karoq (preparing for family life) but after 1 month into the 6/7...

Hey, Had my 2016 Cupra 290 for four months now, really got the bug of tweaking her a little bit. Did the turbo muffler delete Resonator Delete Stage 1 remap and a few bit wraps. Got so much more i want to do.

Bit of an odd one, but as in the title - when buying a MK3 Leon Cupra, which is the best? In this case, preferably under 20k and taking value for money into account. So, given the above - I understand some special editions have come out over the years, I've heard the Sub8 pack is excellent...

Tomorrow the 290 goes in for a res delete which a lot of new owners are desperate to try but there are not many videos around to showcase the mod with the new GPF fitted. Here is a link to the standard exhaust I posted on YouTube. Res delete to follow tomorrow (Zaustworx pipe) &

Hello all :wave: So few month ago I sold my Audi S3 and brought a Mk3 Cupra 290 with full sub8 pack People say it's a budget Golf R but honestly way these things drive who actually cares :bleh:

Hi, I have a 2016 Cupra 290 and am after some black SEAT badges front and back. Just wondering what are the best options. Anyone got pictures of theirs and where they got them from? Cheers, Brandon

Hi everyone,:wave: I feel like this has probably been discussed in another thread, however after 1300 miles on my 2019 cupra 290 im still getting no dsg farts or pops when in cupra mode. The only time I get any form of exhaust pops is when im sitting in neutral (DSG) and rev the engine to 4k...

Hi guys, Probably a long shot but I’ve just bought a 2017(66) cupra 290 DSG. Had it about a month now and the gearbox is brilliant but I just miss a manual. Would anyone be interested in doing a deal of some sort for another 290 but manual gearbox? Must have: Bucket seats Black pack (prefer...

I have a 2017 cupra 290 dsg and was wondering if there’s a way to remove the auto-upshift when at the redline? Just sometimes you want to hold the gear going round a corner to keep the car stable and it upshifts.

What side skirts would people recommend for my cupra 290? Send pictures of yours :)

Hi all, Just wondering when people would advise to change gear in my cupra 290 DSG, just if I rev it all the way out and it auto-upshifts it feels like the power starts to drop off between 6500 and 7000 so I’ve been changing between 6000 and 6500. However I don’t know if it revs it right out so...
