I know mine does 100-200kph in 9.1 (DriftBox). I have a Revo stage 1 tune ~370hp. Not a lot of measurements I know since my DriftBox broke. I'm now waiting for a Dragy.
Am I the only one that doesn't like the copper badging. I pre-ordered some 3m and covered them asap.
No I think there are a lot of people who don't. It looks pretty bad on the red car but with the other colours it contrasts quite well. I hugely prefer it over the chrome of the previous models.
Is the roof wrapped? at first glance I thought you had the pano sunroof like mine but knew it didnt extend the whole roof. Lol.
Yeah it’s wrapped , had it done with the bits on the front bumper just to tie in with the mirror caps . Happy with it . Looks like it sitting lower now lol.
Not a great day in the Cupra! Barely managed to keep up with some Hybrid merc saloon this morning (roads were very wet and I was in comfort mode S to be fair)
Then later on a golf R gapped me, not sure if it was stock as it went flying, he must have got close to if not surpassed 140mph!
When I finally got home and walked into my house some chavvy looking girl who was walking past looked back and took a picture of my car according to my gf. I’m not sure, I doubt most women even know what a Cupra is.
will be securing my locks tonight anyway that will be for sure.

So, got this delivered today. Not new but new to me. 2020 (69) cupra st dsg 4 drive in magnetic grey. Finally had the chance to upgrade from my 17 FR and jumped at the chance with my pcp ending next march. Certainly a real step up from the FR and the power is unreal in comparison.

Anyone else experience what feels like the car pausing for a gear change (automatic) under hard acceleration?
It's happened twice to me now.. Both times, foot on the floor accelerating hard to 70
at what I think is 3th to 4th(?) the car literally nose dives for a second, no power (feels like fuel starvation actually) then it finds the gear and off it blasts again. Model year 2020 hatchback, in standard comfort mode, gear in s-mode.

Stock car shouldn't do that. Fuel level low? Or poor fuel which can cause corrections and throttle closure. Cupra ECU modulates the throttle using torque targeting so even if pedal is at 100% the throttle may not be.
What you are describing sounds like the car ran out fuel. On a stock car the most likely reason is low or poor fuel. On a tuned car it could be fuel rail pressure need to be adjusted (higher boost need more fuel).

I exclusively use Shell V Power and on this last occasion the tank was half full. I'm thinking I need to get it looked at, but it's one of those issues where it doesn't happen every time. And of course, I have to tell the garage to floor it hard up a dual carriage way to try and reproduce it

Hmm sounds like fuel is good but you never know. I'd have it looked at if it happens on your next refuel.
Anyone able to advise on first service schedule/ time line please.
Looking at my records the car was first registered March 2020, however due to Covid I didn’t receive the car until the second week of June 2020.
I presumed this would need an annual service a year from when I received the car however the display is showing oil change in 6899 miles or 41 days ( car has done 3k so far.)
If I followed the 41 days message it would mean the car is having its first service after only 10 months, does this sound correct or can I just wait until at least the full year ?
Thanks in advance.

I believe the yearly/lower mileage service is just for an oil and oil filter change. The 3 yearly/higher mileage service is for oli and all filter change such as air filter, pollen filter, fuel filter, oil filter and oil change. If you can find a TPS locally you can buy VW group original parts and oil at a fraction of the cost than you can from the dealer which will also keep your warranty intact, obviously making sure you keep the receipts. For example, the recommended oil from TPS is around £15+VAT for 5 litres, where as I remember the dealer charged me £50 for enough to do the oil change on the first service. If you do it like this it won't cost much for the first service just to make sure it's done. If you need to reset the service milage warning, if you do the service yourself that is, here's a guide....
Hope this helps
It used to be necessary after the first 5,000 miles or so. Down to the inaccuracies in machining technology. Hence the breaking in period to prevent damaging your engine as bits and pieces rubbed more than they perhaps should. You’d change the oil to get all the metal filings out of the oil to save it clogging up your filters and stuff.
