Hello everyone,
I have been driving a CUPRA Leon ST 1.5 (vFL) since summer 2024.
During the winter months, I have now noticed that the cornering light does not work as it should, at least most of the time. Normally, it should activate when steering at low speed and turn off again, or it should switch on when indicating to turn. My car does this very unreliably. Sometimes it doesn't turn on at all, sometimes it only activates very late (when you're almost around the corner), and sometimes it only briefly turns on when indicating and then goes off immediately, like a quick flash.
I have recorded this on video and was able to demonstrate it to the dealer. During the first visit, it was supposedly deactivated and was adjusted - no success. During the second visit this week, I was told that it would be reported to Seat and that we would have to wait for a response. If they say that this is normal operation, there is nothing that can be done. The technician also made some adjustments to the light settings, and I was told to see if the issue was resolved. What can I say - no success! The question now is what Seat has to say about it...
But honestly, this cannot be the proper functioning; it should be the same for every other CUPRA, and it definitely shouldn't work correctly sometimes. Other brands manage to get this right as well, and I'm not talking about necessarily more expensive brands... and I also expect a new car to function flawlessly; I am really getting a bit annoyed...
Does anyone else have this problem, or how does your cornering light work?
