Re: Reduced range- new tires or software update?

Unless you’ve change the tyre size and the overall diameter then the tyres shouldn’t change the range dramatically. It’s much more likely that something else is at play here, not sure where you are but has the weather deteriorated? Have you changed driving profile, ie long motorway journey, carrying...

Re: Future Born Owner, Opinions and advise

Had ours 11 months, still love it but have to say SWMBO struggles with the infotainment, hud and particularly the whole electric thing.

Personally I’d really like a long range 4x4 EV a ICE diesel 4x4 but such will come one day

Re: Tyre wear

I’m wondering if the 235 being a bit wider may give a bit of a cushion when SWMBO parks next to a curb, I looked at the o/s/f today and it’s been dinked again. Obviously she didn’t do it, but since I haven’t driven it for over a week and she’s used to a 4x4 I have my suspicions, in fairness the surr...

Re: Tyre wear

I’m at 6800 miles, rears wearing much more than fronts so I’m going to swap rears and fronts around today and get a price for Michelins while there.

Re: Charge at Preferred Times Failure

The Cupra charge app is generally I’ll thought of, personally I used the Zappi app to start and then the Octopus app, but you say your on a 13amp (3 pin/granny) charger, in which case I would suggest leaving the car on charge straight away and plugging in via a timer socket (either app controlled or...

Re: Given up on tech but like the car

Our rear camera died after 16 months and was replaced under warranty. I’m sure it will be covered under warranty, it’s just a faff tbh It will be. If you have any bother, drop me a message and maybe I can get my garage (Pulman Cupra Sunderland) share the fault codes etc. Presumably you have a messa...

Had mine 10 months and the camera packed up this week, not had any other issues really.
