Fuse tray on top of the Battery can sometimes melt itself. No real cause as to why that happens but it is a common fault. Mine (not an R) needed replacing, only cost £40 and a few fuses.

my AUQ uses hardly any oil at all, watch out for slack clutch, meaning master or slave problem, common fault

Yes that was me! Its not an R, just a standard cupra, I got told to watch for MAF sensors going, and coil pack failure.

All true think MAF is the main concern as it has a direct effect on performance
