CUPRA Born Forum

On Friday, the hottest day of the year so far, I jumped in the car and it was reading 29C outside temp. Seconds after moving off, I had a string of 4 sensor malfunction/failure messages/bongs on the infotainment and the radio output itself was like a CB radio - very crackly and not very clear.

Resetting the infotainment sorted out the radio and the front sensor fault messages disappeared, so all's well - anyone else had this with the recent heat?

Never had issues related to temperature (and here in Portugal in the summer it's often well into the 30s in the summer). But on Saturday after driving on a short stretch of uphill and fairly bumpy dirt road the "Head light levelling failed" warning light came on and soon after the tyre pressure warning light.
I just carried on but at the next stop for charging I went into settings and did the tyre pressure check and they were ok, and the headlight levelling warning went away after switching the car back on. I guess the old "try switching it off and on again" from computers also applies to modern cars

It reached 32C here in Essex and much cooler now.
Nothing like you describe on mine and it's seen 34C in the last mini heat wave without problems.
I had one worry yesterday that I can't explain though. Twice I went to accelerate after coasting and there was nothing. It took a few seconds to realise the car had gone into neutral??? I didn't touch the selector but other than known problems? it's the only explanation.
I'm in the 4th year of ID3s and Born and this has never happened before.

I've had the same experience with the radio and sensors. I try and keep the car in the shade when parking up but of course that's easier said than done. At least normal service resumes when things cool down!
