Re: Please help - born won’t charge at home
I've just been having problems with my wallbox pulsar pro. It's been perfect for 16months and Easter Monday it gave me red ring. I went to the local paid charger and it was the same. No communication, so couldn't charge. So I thought it was the car and called out cupra assist who plugged in the diag...

Re: Car not communicating with charger
Currently in a similar boat - excuse my ignorance here but what is Cupra Assist? I'm having a right mare with my home charger as I go to plug it in, charger will reconise a cable but then never locks. Car then throws a red light to suggest to check the instructions and to check wallet as it's unabl...

Car not communicating with charger
Our Born hit a major issue on Monday. No communication with charger and hence not able to charge. At first I thought it was my Wallbox charger but then tried another charger and same result. Called Cupra Assist as I know doing it this way will get it through the workshop quicker than if I booked it ...

Re: Would you have another Born?
I have to say that, love the styling and practicality of the Born, we would not get another. Feels like we have been Guinea Pigs owners of a product that had many issues. Now its the battery recall.... I wanted a Q4 but the Mrs didn't want something as big. I wonder if the Q4 has the same amount of ...

Re: Massive battery recall check - TPI 93Q2
It's good I found this..... It's my wifes car so I rarely drive it. If I remember correctly, when I charged to 80% it used to show 204miles range. Today its showing 154miles. Whether this is due to faulty battery or a change in software (over the air) making the mileage estimate more 'real life' I'm...

Re: Order Lead Times
It appears 160 Cupra Borns have been recalled. These are all undelivered cars. They all have a steering column fault. Our dealer SMC Woking will offer us a loan car to enable us to trade in our ICE car. No idea when the steering column fault will be fixed. Count yourself lucky. I had a nightmare wi...

Re: Order Lead Times
We've been told a whole batch of undelivered Borns have a steering column fault so our car is being recovered from Emden and a new Born will be manufactured to the original specification. So massive delay now. No time frame offerd. Wonder if this is the same issue as mine. October 2022 delivery dat...

Re: Heko wind deflectors
Wind deflectors actually add wind noise. Cars are so aerodynamic nowadays, any addition to the exterior I find adds wind noise.

Re: OBD11 dongle recommendation
For the price you can't get better than OBD11. Had mine since 2020 when I discovered my old VCDS would longer work with the new chassis VW cars. I had the VCDS for over 10yrs and at the time it cost £285. So £100 odd for the a OBD11 pro license is a bargain. Having used it on 3 cars so far, it's mor...
