GF bought one of these last summer; and its been a nightmare so far. 00 cupra model, think that means it comes with 'extras'.
Tappets on the engine started to go so the thing sounds like a tractor. She is going to get it fixed and luckily it will coincide with a timing belt change so that will offset some of the cost but still it sounds bad.
Suspension has started clunking on front passenger wheel, probably bushings, now this isnt really the cars fault as she hits every kerb and pothole in the country but even still.
Car foot wells started filling up with water so I had to take the doors apart and reseal them with silicone, this is a known issue and only of the causes of water ingress. Others include bad seal around the pollen filter. Was a pain in the ass as it was a couple of weeks before I could find the time to do it and during that time various electrics began messing up due to the moisture. Radio turns on and off randomly and half the buttons dont work, though that was an issue before we ever picked it up. Back lighting on the speedo also come on and off randomly
Interior door handles are coated with a thin rubber and look terrible now as the rubber has worn and peeled away.
Petrol cover doesnt lock.
I broke the windscreen changing the wipers.
The list of things just keep on growing, both in part to the cars poor design and the voodoo curse someone has put on them.
Lol, I never want to see another seat ibiza ever again0 -

Mad, do you mind if I ask you how much you paid for that? And also if it had a NCT?
Thanks0 -
