MK3 SEAT Leon CUPRA's owner's register

[Pinscher90]

Cupra 290 arrived today, desire red, feel like a little kid with a new toy .

Ordered mine on 2yr lease through nationwide, and the delivery guy took it to the local car wash before handing over and gave me a set of mats! Only fault found from handover is tiny paint chip on bonnet, i couldnt photo it in this weather, but that will pass wear and tear anyhow, also recorded a delivery mileage of 128 miles, has a quarter tank of petrol so will take it to local costco for 99 ron top up.

Quick question about wing mirrors and service book! It doesnt have a service book it has instruction manual, satnav but no service book... is that normal?

Also on my ateca the wing mirrors fold in when you hold down the lock button on the keyfob. But here it seems you have to do it via the button next to wing mirrors, that right,? It doesnt do it automatically etc or any other way?

Thanks

James

Yeah I received mine yesterday and it I had the same issue

I reset the system and then it started working

Also mAke sure you tick the mirror fold option

Thanks went into vehicle settings, mirrors and selected option to fold on lock. The service book checked with nationwide and SEAT are tech savvy so it is all done ok computers instead of service stamps hence no service book required

On another note seems Costco are 97 Ron now so filled up anyhow but will try tesco 99 Ron momentum next time

Ordered a Cupra 290 from Nationwide on 25th June. Due to be delivered on Monday... I must say I'm rather excited!
I'm a 1st time leaser, so we'll see how that works out in 3 years time.

It's going to be a long few days!

We've got a chance to give some feedback to the CUPRA team who are visiting the UK this Friday. Please can you let @Syphon have any constructive thoughts / feedback that he can pass on.

Think about pricing / finance deals
Range of cars coming
Brand awareness
etc.

Please do so by Thursday 25th.

Thanks

Not sure if I should create a separate thread.

Servicing- I have read worrying reviews on servicing Cupra’s And lack of knowledge by dealers.

I’m considering a service plan vs a private company.

Does anyone have advice on taking out the seat service plan or going private.

I have the 5yr warranty and confirmed it does not matter either way but I want my car kept in good order ?

 

[Deleted member 103408]

I have no experience of service plans but what I would suggest if nobody can help is check out the maintenance schedule which you can find on this forum against what they say they will do and when just to make sure they cover everything that is needed.

For me if you know what they are supposed to be doing (issues normally around Front Diff / Haldex Service and DSG Service) then when they say you dont need it you can prove you do.

Hope that makes sense

Finally, after it being sat in a dealership in Sunderland for just over 2 months awaiting my return to the UK, the Cupra was delivered on the back of a truck this morning! Just 9 miles on the clock so they didn't use it as a demo as a expected. Haven't had chance to drive it yet but so far very pleased.

Probably not the right place to ask this. But having received the car it doesn't have a service book. Is this normal? Also how can I check I got the 5 yr extended warranty I paid for as I can't find any paperwork in the car?

Hi see my post above you don’t get service books with SEAT it is all done online you can get service info from your local dealer or calling SEAT

Dealer sent me a picture of the system where this sits as a record.

I made sure I had some record because I paid for this on a previous VW and they didn’t add it,I had to go through a long complaint process to get my money back and nearly took them to court when Big VW stepped in and quickly paid me back

I'll give SEAT a call to double check. If it's not added I'll make sure it gets added. Thanks for the info.

My new cupra r st will be ready for me this Saturday coming, less than a week to go. Bank balance is going to be hit hard with the amount of fuel I will be using.

Finally got my mystery blue 290 delivered a couple of days ago, and I love it already.
Drove it around in the 38 degree heat on Thursday and it sounded brilliant, pops, bangs, dsg farts in cupra mode right off the bat.
Feel like this 3 year lease is going to fly by, what a car!

 

[Andyt127]

Looks fantastic!

I get mine delivered tomorrow, feels like Christmas eve!

Love my mag grey but I do think the Mystery Blue looks insanely good. Real head turner.

My new Cupra arrived at 8.30am this morning which surprised me somewhat. The delivery guy had driven it 200 miles down from Bradford and even had time to take it to the car wash.
Really pleased with it so far, goes like a train and feels like it's on rails.

 

[Pferdestarke]

Not sure if I’d appreciate them taking it to any old car wash with the potential for wrecked paint and swirl marks.
