Re: Terrible service from Cupra!

This is extremely disappointing behaviour from Cupra UK. Cupra supply the software updates to their dealer network - they have an obligation to ensure that said updates work as intended and dealers are provided with whatever technical support is required to make them work. A few tips: A. Locate the...

Terrible service from Cupra!

The situation so far.. My vehicle went in for a software update on the 31st July 23 which failed resulting in the loss of all sound from the vehicle, loss of parking sensors, loss of SOS capability, loss of voice capability, intermittent faults with Android Auto / Apple Car Play among further possib...

Re: Heat Pump - Efficiency / Where is it?

Thanks all for the responses,

Looking under the hood I can definitely see what's in the diagram from Kardinal1788 so that's a positive note

Though I have to say based on my efficiency during initial warm up and small journeys would suggest its either not working or not as efficient as other EVs

Re: Heat Pump - Efficiency / Where is it?

Heating set to 18deg from -4.. I understand that there will be a hit to range, just trying to confirm the heat pump is there and if I'm getting the best out of it

Compared to my friends Nissan Leaf it's not looking as economic

Heat Pump - Efficiency / Where is it?

Hi All, I've had a search and can't seem to find a previous post on this, I ordered a heat pump on my Born, but I have to say I've never checked it was installed (fool on me), how can I confirm the heat pump is installed and working correctly? Only reason I ask is i'm suffering from (what would seem...

Re: Transport Blocks

How bad was the knocking? Was it a plastic like thud? And over what sort of bumps? I.e. small potholes, speed bumps etc. Have to say I forgot to ask when collecting if the transport blocks had been removed and can't check without a jack :/ It's a firm ride but can't say I've noticed any loud thuds b...

DCC

Hi All, Maybe stupid question, I ordered my Born with DCC and it has the options in the menu under drive profiles but I'll be honest I can't say I notice too much of a difference between modes... suspension feels similar between Comfort, Performance and Cupra modes Is there a way to confirm if it ac...

Re: Can I Demist windscreen without A/C?

Open the windows? People focus TOO much on saving energy when driving electric (IMO). As has been said here elsewhere, the difference between AC on and off is not really noticeable in real life driving conditions. Use AC when you want to/need to, don’t when not:) I've found A/C has a massive impact...
