Major Leon Disappointment

[jimmst212]

Hi all,

Well I have been waiting 14 weeks for the following car

Leon Stylance 2.0tdi DSG, Bluetooth, Sports Pack, Convenience Pack, Parking Sensors and 18 inch wheel upgrades.

The car turned up on Friday and I picked it up late in the afternoon. I didn’t really get a chance to drive it because we were going out so the first opportunity was Saturday morning.

Sat off on Saturday and I lowered my drivers window!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! big mistake, it was absolutely P**s wet through when I put it back up. Thought no worries as I could get that sorted (I hadn’t read the threads by this point). Suddenly at about 60 miles (on the clock) and at about 40 - 45 mph (and above!!) there was hideous rattle from behind the dash! This has just continued to rattle.

Then the car starts juddering like it isn’t running on all cylinders. I reported it to the dealer and the first free service slot is in 5 days! Not happy at all. In addition the Bluetooth keeps dropping its connection during calls. I have upgraded the Bluetooth firmware on my phone and checked compatibility with the seat website,

In addition to all these problems, it appears hat the 18 inch wheels fitted to my Leon are not the ones that appear on the website or in fact the ones I was expecting. They are an 18 inch version of the 17 inch sports pack wheel and not the seat sports (multispoke type that the dealer showed me). I have been told that the wheels I have fitted are the only factory fit wheels as the seat sports ones are an aftermarket option only. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm duno about that.

Help Needed

Please can anyone who has a leon stylance with the sports pack and the 18 inch wheels please confirm what wheels they have or in fact anyone who knows what wheels should be fitted please let me know.

I have told the dealer that I will be rejecting the car if the problems are not sorted.

Anyone got any ideas or had similar problems in the past. There help will be much appreciated.


I’m really F****d of as this is ruining what is in essence a great car.


Thanks for listening.

Rant over.

Can't help with any of the specific queries you have but if I were you I would put all of your issues in writing to the dealer ASAP. If you go down the rejection route it will stand you in a better light.

Do you have the original brichures which show the wheels you thought you were getting?

The multspoke Seatsport BBS ones, shown in my picture, are indeed only a dealer accesory rather than a factory fit option im afraid.

jimmst212, i know you wont like this, bud i'd take the car back, give them a deadline to get all issues resolved, if they cant uphold then a full refund!! Trading Standards Advised me of this,

welcome to the "Disgusting way Seat treat Customers" Club

what worries me is that they are still manufacturing cars with these problem!!

Sorry to hear of you're problems, according to Seat uk the wet windows issue is unheard of.I have given up and after only two months with the FR I have traded it in and will never go near or recommend seat again. most of your issues should have been picked up on the pdi, I personally would reject it and buy something else.

Put it all in rightly as CMC stated. Do this today and send first class! I would also send a letter to Seat UK and ring them aswell. Remember you can give the car back if you are not happy. I personally think that you should try and get these problems sorted. SEAT are not the only people that have problems with cars, bare that in mind...

Take car back to dealer, leave it there & don't put any more miles on it and threaten to reject the vehicle in writing.

If you continue to use it rejection gets a little more tricky.

Does this ring any bells of early 20v coil pack issues
