Hi

Hopefully buying a second hand Cupra R TSi on Sunday. It's a 62 plate.

Are there any known or common problems that I should look out for?

Thanks :D :mrgreen:

Hi clarenw, im new to this forum and Seats in general. I did test drive a seat cupra R 265, 2010, in which the car drove just as the motoring press had descrided the car. The engine used has been used in the Audi S3, VW Golf edition35, so its a well proven engine. I also cannot find any issue with this particular car or engine. The only issue I've read and seen for myself is the mould that seem to plague the inside bonnet lining. This issue apparently is common on the mk2 seat leons in general, something to do with the drainholes, although if you flag up the issue on the forums, you'll find that there is a remedy...
