Cupra /S3 /Golf R turbo problems

[GrahamFR]

I've got better.. With my MK2 FR TDI and MK2 LCR I was power...power...power...wheelspin....wheelspin

Jordi Gene taught me alot about this car when I was out with him though

And heres the video of it.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mM3o-ZWEUzM

Haha I asked Jordi about that its not his nan it was an actor.

Hi very interesting thread. Andrew have you clocked any times 0-100 or 100-200? The reason why I am asking is that am thinking about buying the new Cupra. I have the Mk2 now. I have clocked my car from 100-200 and I was surprised 11,2.

[AndrewJB]

Nah I haven't, I would like to get hold of a V-box soon when its dry

 

[AllanCupra]

Do you feel that there is a big difference powerwise compared to original software? Bhp now on stage 2? torque?

 

[AndrewJB]

Yes a massive difference.. Even stage1 and 2 are different

 

[AllanCupra]

Any numbers stage1? Bhp nm Stage2?

 

[AndrewJB]

Stage1 RR graphs are in my thread.. not had it near a RR for stage2

Andrew, any issues with the DSG or is yours manual? If DSG, did you get that remapped also?

 

[Richmondo]

Did this ever turn into an official recall?

 

[Biker]

It didn't even turn into an actual event! Relax, and don't believe everything you reed on the internet.........

Yeh, mines a dreaded N and have had no probs and 16 month old now.

 

[Snah]

Mine is a N too from august 2014 and has 31000 miles down so far without any problems, rattles etc. and survived quite some laps on a race track. Even drove it several time at speeds of 250 km/h+ during more than half an hour.
Just turn the key and drive.

 

[Richmondo]

I feel a lot better about it all now, thanks for all of your replies.

Great car, can't wait to put it through its paces

Don't know what mine was, but it erupted in plumes of white smoke just before Christmas. 40k miles and mostly m way miles on cruise......

what happened??

 

[Stever750]

Turbo expired. Luckily no other damage as I eased right off and coasted to lay by

Sorry to bring up and old thread. Ive had my cupra 280 for a couple of months now. Just seen this thread and looks like my turbo part number of 06K 145 702 N is the faulty batch? The car has now done 25k and warranty runs out in May. Should i be worried about the turbo? Or am i one of the lucky ones? I would have expected the turbo to have failed in the early thousands of miles as per reading some of the comments etc

 

[AndrewJB]

My N turbo on 20k of Stage 2 now and no issues at all.

Don't worry.
