Curious if anyone here has had a similar experience. I got my charging flap replaced at the dealer last week under warranty. They told me while it was in, that there was a software update due on the car. So I had it done. No problem.

Came out to the car the next day and it was totally dead. No unlock, no hazard lights, no start. Nothing.

Cupra called out the AA who found the 12V had drained down to 3V.

They’ve taken the car back to the dealer now to fault find. I discovered my dashcam (which has been in the car for six months, and always shuts off with the car) stayed recording until 3am the day it came back from the dealer.

Is this a known fault? The 12V system usually always turns off with the car, but for whatever reason it now seems to stay live and kill the battery. It’s never done this before until this most recent update.

Thanks to the folks who suggested the Oxford Arms to watch the match. Superb atmosphere and such a fantastic experience to watch Mayo finally bring it home again 🔴🟢

For what it’s worth, she doesn’t look bad!

One year with my 2022 Cupra Formentor, in which I’ve put 17,000km on it. Had its ups and downs but overall really pleased so far, namely;

- Genuinely think this is the best looking car I’ve ever owned. Sure I’ve never been driving around in a Ferrari, but I really love how this car looks for a normal daily.
- Hasn’t put a foot wrong reliability wise, save for one or two electrical glitches.
- Fuel economy overall doesn’t quite match the 520d I came from, but I knew that going in. Still very respectable though.

I would like a set of 19s on it at some point. The tiny wheels do hurt the looks a bit, but overall very happy. Here’s to another year.
