Re: Steering wheel marks

No they didn’t say. I’ll ask them when I take it in for replacement.

Re: Steering wheel marks

The Portsmouth dealer looked at the car today and are going to replace the steering wheel. Top marks for customer service.

Re: Steering wheel marks

@sabredentist your first bullet point is what I thought but your second one is also interesting. The local Cupra dealer is having a look at the car in 13 days- I’ll report back.

Re: Steering wheel marks

This couldn’t be jeans as it’s on the top. I also think the marks are too regular to be caused by something moving over it. In another forum for a different model of Cupra someone had something similar that they thought was caused by the heating element in the wheel.

Cloudfury2 It’s nice of you to be concerned but I’m sure I won’t focus on it. I think if you notice something as you have, you initially think something is wrong, perhaps even a design fault, but once you have accepted it, your brain ignores it. I’m confident you’ll get used to it.

Re: Quick hello from UK - Born V2 - first month

I have a Born V2. I haven’t noticed an issue with the dashboard being reflected in the windscreen. I suspect it’s one of those things where once you notice it, you get drawn to looking at it. Luckily I am on holiday in Spain- if I was to check it out in my own car I might end up being afflicted as w...
