owner

Hi Guys, Just became a Cupra owner for the first time. I bought the car 10 days ago from an independant dealer after trading in my Astra G 1.8SRI. I have bought a 53 Cupra 180 in silver. I am enjoying the car as it is my first turbo car but I do have a couple of issues that I would like...

I just got my Cupra and it's awesome! Unfortunately, it was imported so all my books are on Danish which I don't understand unfortunately. Anyone got some .pdf version of them in english or something like that? Would be grateful :)

I pick up my Mk 2 Leon FR TDI tomorrow (28k - 06 plate) but im confused about the DPF issues on here. I drive a lot of A roads on a 30 mile round trip to work and back and motorway when I go to cornwall every few weeks. Is the DPF problem a common fault on all cars? or something that was sorted...

iv been a member on here 4 a while as i had a mk3 ibiza tdi. when i sold it i bought a mk2 golf gti, had a few probs so i sold it and decided i wanted another ibiza. so on friday i bought a mk2 ibiza gti 8v which im absolutely delighted with. so my 1st question, lol, is my temperature gauge is...

hey all!! i've converted from ibiza to leon!! trading my 1.4 ibiza sportrider in for a 2 litre leon with btcc bodykit! get it on thursday! cant wait! :D:D:D

i'm part way converting my bora from 2.0 - 1.8t and ko4'ing it while im at it. i need a really big favour, when you ko4 unknown to me you need a different metal water way pipe. i really need a pic of the pipe, particulary where it goes around the tip as the ko3s pipe is right in the way...

hi people i am due to pick up my toledo 1.9tdi s at the weekend and already the modding bug has started.:D i am thinking about geting it remapped to produce a bit more than the standard 108bhp. what i wanna know is how much extra bhp and torque i can expect and how much it will cost? seen...

I was servicing my car on saturday, and noticed that the backbox on my LCR has started to rot through. My wife-to-be-approved-mantra has always been to upgrade as i replace, so im sure you can all appreciate that im mortified at HAVING to replace the backbox...;) Im pretty sure its a blueflame...

I'd like to get hold of a PDF (or similar) of an Owner's Manual for the Leon mk2. Just so I can have a read before I get my FR TFSI, so it's not worth me getting a real one from fleabay or whatever. I found an old post on here with a link to a filesharing site, but that link's now dead. The...

What are peoples thoughts on a lumina orange FR with optional 18's, ipod and convenience pack but no bluetooth?

Hi all, again I done a search but could'nt find anything usefull.The previous owner of my leon cupra took the rear badges off and some laquer too,but left a load of glue on.I've tried tar and glue remover,boiling water and nail varnish remover,all have failed to remove any of it. This stuff is...

Hello, My Fiance and I have just bought a W reg Cordoba and had the two front brake discs, pads and the nearside calliper replaced. Since having this done the engine check light keeps blinking three times and beeping it's heart-stopping beep. It only seems to be when the car is accelerating...

Just a quick post to say i'm now a proud member of the K1 club :) As a previous owner of a magic black 57 plate Leon 2.0TFSI FR with DSG there was always part of me that wanted a cupra and particularly a K1 as I do so love the body kit :) Went surfing on the web last Thursday and by Friday...

Hi Guys, Ive just put a deposit on a black 05 Cupra TDI with 30k on the clock and hopefully can pick it up mid next week. I did have a Fiesta ST500 before but was written off a few weeks ago by a goon who couldn't drive a in a straight line. I really miss the car but hopefully a change is...

Firstly, would just like to say I've been checking these forums on and off for the past few months and I must say, some decent helpful stuff on here. Secondly, my diy and electronic skills are somewhat limited so please bear with me if I sound a little confused. I'm sure we will get there in...

Hi there, been a lurker for a while and had a cordoba for a while! Hopefully picking up my mk1 cupra this week. Few questions... any obvious things i should look for when i go for another look? The alloys are not the best, whats the offset and stud pattern for these? And also, 98k with...

Morning! I have just slammed my car down on some AP coilovers and im interested as to how far down it is!! Would someone be kind enough to measure the distance from the wheel arch to the floor for me (front and rear) Many many thanks!!

Hello all. I currently own a Mk2 Punto 1.2, but as its a Fiat it's very expensive to keep it running, and i'm forced to sell it. One of my friends owns a Mk2 Ibiza 1litre. I'm positive it isn't stock, as it has different skirts and bumpers, along with cupra alloys. It's been lowered and it's...

Hey guys Well I finally upgraded my mk1 1.6 Leon - it was getting on a bit - Y reg! To a nice new(ish) FR with only 4K miles. Bought it without seeing it and ended up with the 18" wheels and Bluetooth Kit without the dealer even knowing about it! Absolutely loving it and it has a hell of a...

Hey all What a delight it was to find this forum; I have just managed to bag myself bargain 2003 Cupra 1.8T (in bright yellow :D). Was surfing about looking for some advise on modifications and found this site, quick browse of the forum & the following happened: Stage 1 custom remap (now...
