Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • hi all newbie here

    just wanted to now if it's safe buying a cupra,when it comes to parts.
    not just service parts(brakes,oil changes)
    but spares like interior parts or exterior parts,door handles, body panels,headlights,rear lights.
    thanks

    Hi George, welcome.

    I've had my cupra since new in 99, mechanically i've had no problems finding parts, not that I've needed many. Body parts might be a different question but you've found the right forum for help. There are some very dedicated vw/seat people on this forum.

    update your location, it will make it easier to point you in the right direction.

    cheers

      Yeah George Cupras are good cars. Solid and Sporty. Dont dismiss the 8v GTI, easier driving and more fun in my book.

      Most parts that crossover with VW are easy to get, I stock lots of SEAT second hand stuff, or ebay.

      Update your location mate and welcome..

        is it true that some parts like head lights and rear lights are the same as the vw polo,or is it that the seat cupra just uses the polo chasis.

          Yep its the same chassis but almost every body panel is SEAT. The bonnet is same as a polo.
