Finally - Joined the Tribe

Finally took the plunge and got myself the Formentor VZ – and I'm absolutely hooked! 🚗

Okay so I've been eyeing this thing for way too long, and I finally pulled the trigger. NGL, this car is such a vibe. The whole driving experience is just chef's kiss – everything about it just feels right, you know?

The design is clean, the performance is solid, and honestly I'm already obsessed with the little details. Haven't stopped grinning like an idiot every time I get behind the wheel lol.

What do you guys thinks ?

Roof box vs. sunroof?

Hi, all, I am not an owner yet, so sorry for the noob question, but is there enough space for the sunroof to open if there is a box on the rails? Thanks!

Hard jolt when moving off

It seems to happen worse when the auto hold is turned on. When accelerating from a standstill, there is almost always a hard jolt/thump that’s quite startling! Feels almost like the brakes let go of the car too late while accelerating. Or like they are sticking.

Soonest we could be booked in was October! Anyone know what is causing it? I think I might lose my mind by then.

As a bit of history of the car it’s a 2025 model and we’ve got it second hand and its has this issue since we got it last month. It seems to be less of a thump if the auto hold is turned off, but then there is NO hill hold! Which seems silly, these cars are basically VW are they not? I’ve had other VWs where the hill hold uses the brakes to hold you on a hill. This cupra seems to use the handbrake to hold you, that’s what it feels like anyway.

Oplaadklepje opent niet goed

Dag allemaal,

Auto: Cupra Leon Sportstourer Hybride 2022.

Sinds enkele dagen gaat het oplaadklepje niet meer open omdat het pinnetje dat erachter zit erg stroef gaat. Klinkt ook alsof er wat vuil in zit.

Iemand een idee?

Thanks!

EDIT: zojuist contact gezocht met de garage, wordt vervangen onder garantie…

Took the beast to Monte Carlo rally course

I've had the 310 for 4 months now, and I'd say 90% of my time behind the wheel has been adventuring with the family. So while my other half is away with our son, I decided to wake up early this morning and go for a blast on Col de Turini, which is the famous hairpin section of the Monte Carlo rally course.

I knew the car was quick and handled well on paper, but it becomes a different animal when pushing it like this. It absolutely demolished the road to the point where I had to slow down and just started laughing to myself.

When people say this car feels more like a hot hatch than a crossover, they aren't lying (I used to own a GTI).

New found love for this car after this morning. Just wow. Can't wait for the next one, which is gonna be exploring the famous route napoleon!!!

Alloy scuffs - best way to fix?

Hi all, does anyone have any home product suggestions or recommendations on how to fix scuffed alloys?
I’ve got a fair few similar to the photos across all four wheels.
This is a lease vehicle and I’d like to attempt to get them all fixed before handing it back later this year.
Or is this beyond home solutions and I should just get them fixed professionally? (UK resident)
Cheers.

Does anyone know what causes this to come up?

I get it a few times a month, it cannot be ignored and it removes my favourite contacts among other things, very annoying!

Hybrids can be good (Cupra Formentor PHEV 272)

I live in a small city and charge my car at home. It’s time for a recharge, but under the right conditions, It is possible to drive surprisingly long distances using electric power alone.

Stolen Tank Of Gas

Is there a known exploit for getting the gas open? My doors were locked in a parking garage and when I came back there were scratches on the door handle and my tank was empty. No scratch on the gas cap lid so im wondering if somehow doing something to the drivers side handle can make that pop open?

Edit: I had just filled up an entire tank before this and there are no leaks anywhere that I can see. I filled up a bit to see if there was an error with the reading but it was for sure emptied.

Am I overdoing it when I do this to my formentor

Hello everyone,

I own a Cupra formentor 1.4 PHEV vz performance 245HP. I know that in the PHEV the Cupra formentor vz TRIBE has the VZ badge on the car. Is it weird that I put the badge on my car. I find it really appealing to do so but I know there’s a taboo to doing so. Just like applying the AMG badge on a Mercedes without there being an amg motor in there. I’m curious to your thoughts

Formentor hybrid dead after software update

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.
