Re: Range issues during cold snap

What does it say in the actual car?
This looks a bit like the usual km/miles conversion bug in the app that happens after a charge.
Ie. real GOM reading 8/5*124 = 198.4 miles.
I've never seen as low as 124 miles even on 80% charge in deep winter.

Re: Update 3.2.1 now available - TPI 93S2

I can only guess that there are gross faults which can be detected in normal operation vs. other issues/degradations that are only revealed by running dealer diagnostics (i.e. for longer than acceptable in normal operation). But I do know that some ID.3 owners were called in for battery module repla...

Re: Update 3.2.1 now available - TPI 93S2

My understanding (from the dealer and verified by Cupra customer care) is that some vehicles have already logged a battery fault directly with Cupra. There really is no point a non-BCC dealer attempting a battery test if that is what shows on their system for your vehicle.

Re: Clunking / knocking noise from front end

Connected to this - does anyone have experience of the Dynamic Chassis Control compared to standard suspension?
Does it provide a 'softer' setup in Comfort mode?

Re: Clunking / knocking noise from front end

I also have a similar problem. The noise is in addition to to the usual thumps from the somewhat firm suspension. It's a bit higher pitched - more like something big and metal flexing, or perhaps a heavy item jumping in its mounting bracket. It only happens at lower speeds on very poor surfaces, no ...

Re: Massive battery recall check - TPI 93Q2

Further to the descriptions above I've been told (by my dealer and Cupra Customer Service) that there are effectively two variants of TPI 93Q2. Most vehicles are "check and replace modules if necessary" whereas some (including my Sept '22 V2) come up as "definitely replace modules&quo...

Re: Update 3.2.1 now available - TPI 93S2

Today our V2 Born has been to the local dealer (Hatfield) for the various recalls. Unfortunately after checking the battery modules (TPI 93Q2) it does need further work at a BCC certified dealer. Hatfield are still waiting for the relevant tools so they suggested the car could be transported to Sout...

Re: Heat Pump - Efficiency / Where is it?

I noticed a couple of weeks ago that the heat pump is no longer an option in the configurator or mentioned in the pricelist/brochure.

Re: Anyone managed to order yet?

Another data point - just heard that our vapor grey V2, ordered March 26th, has arrived in the UK.
First update from the dealer so quite a pleasant surprise (was originally quoted build week 40).
For reference the the only extras are the pan roof and heat pump.

Re: 40 cars available now on auto trader!

I had a quick scan through the new Borns in Autotrader. - they are all saying available in June, so the same batch. Mostly they are standard V1,V2,V3s with TechL pack. There are some e-Boost models and a couple of 77 kWh versions (which I though would be a long time coming). I wonder if any of us or...
