Re: Sennheiser sound system worth it?

Considering the Sennheiser is a new option for all Born's and Beats has been dropped (at least in CH), there won't be many with experience of the new system, and even less that are switching cars from Beats to Sennheiser and can do a direct comparison.

Re: V2 4 months in....

My wife changed from a Kamiq 1.5 150ps DSG. She hated the car, lack of response from engine, no power unless in S mode, terrible seats, over aggressive lane assist. Bad points 4) It should be instant! 5) Pressing the brake activates more regen in B mode or regen in D mode unless you press hard. They...

Re: Reverse camera changed viewing angle

Don't have time to take a pic right now, but your screen doesn't look right. The top menu is always there, but the camera is too low. It should look like in this vid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOhJ3sYvx8I 00:23s. The only time I saw something similar was when a phone was connected with Apple C...

Re: Cupra ID terms and conditions

I saw my widget was not working this morning so opened it, I had to login, got a similar message with 3 or 4 boxes to accept terms, I declined some of the obvious options, had to try 3x before it accepted my anser, and then it let me into the app, I also got the same email sent straight after login.

Re: Brake Fluid Change

If they didn't pay for it then it`s not a problem, as long as the service report clearly says the garage decided it was not required. OP can feedback if that`s the case. I`ve been driving 35 years and lived in a few countries, every garage is just out to scam you.

Re: Brake Fluid Change

You will eventually just get the same mixed views here. Over time, brake fluid can get water moisture in it, changing the properties of the fluid and increasing the chances of poorer performing brakes. The actual chance of this happening is very very small, so (imo) it`s probably no big deal to skip...

Re: Servicing

The pollen filter is €20 (Amazon) and takes 30 secs to change , I did mine after spring as it's in bad condition with pollen due to where I live, the garage should discount if they don't need to do it.

Re: New OTA update

I just drove the car and when parking back home the message appeared, this time I pressed ok on the message and then got an install prompt. I guess the trick is to press “ok”, or, it gave the install prompt as it was within wifi range, not sure. Guess it will install without problems, wait and see.
