I phoned Cupra and they've said it needs to go in for diagnostics, so Roadside Assistance is coming to assess and then recover to dealer.

Re: Best Winter Advice
I've done long range Winter driving and have experimented with using blown heat,, heated steering wheel and heated seat only, and using recirculated aircon to keep the screen clear, the battery heating always takes its toll. At a constant 72mph indicated, at least 100 miles done, I get:- 0C, 16C ca...

Re: 18" vs. 19" rims - real life difference
I can compare my old ID3 (essentially the same car with cosmetic differences) on 18" wheels to our Born on 19" wheels. The Born rides better - I think that's more to do with tyre brand than wheel size. 18" ID3/Born come on Bridgestone tyres more often than not. They are horrendously h...

Re: Key not detected
How long have you had the car? If it's over 15 months you might need to change the batteries. For some reason on the newer VAG keys, you seem to need to change both at once. They are brand fussy on the batteries too, so I would buy "Varta" branded ones to be sure. First I would try locking...

Re: Passenger heating not working
Sounds like a fault, considering the car recognises that you have a passenger.

Re: Open window alert on Cupra born app
The My Audi app always states my back passenger window is open when it's not (probably same software). I might go do an OBD11 fault clear on the car to see if there's a historic false report from the door controller to clear.

Re: Puddle / mirror down lights extra marks in Cupra logo
Their warranty policy seems to be very inconsistent and depend whether the person who assesses it is an arsehole or not... This is it, in a nutshell. Aside from straightforward mechanical failure, many local VAG dealerships in my area are averse to undertaking warranty work. This is especially true...

Re: Lane Assist - remembering the previous setting!
Doesn't that just demonstrate how useless the system is and that it's only there to mitigate poor driving habits? Not at all. It's a safety feature that could literally save your life if for whatever reason you lost consciousness whilst driving. If you drive well it doesn't interfere. Like seatbelt...
