sick leon

[leapy]

my leon isnt boosting the turbo the maf sensor is getting about two/three volts input.anyone got any ideas thanks

 

[DanGB]

The dealer will fix it.

dealer wont fix it because i hit a dog and got an independant mechanic to fit a bumper and intercooler.also because i wont pay them£1500 to TRY a new turbo and see if it works

 

[Nathanio]

Was the independent mechanic VAT registered and use genuine parts? If he was and did then Seat can't deny you warranty

 

[DanGB]

They dealer has to Prove that the modifications you made have caused the problem bwefore that decline to fix it. Have you spoke to Seat UK? or tried a different dealer?

 

[leapy]

dealer charged me £60 for diagnostic and said near enough sure its the turbo .the guy who fitted parts for me said he stripped +checked everything and saw the turbo spin himself.he said the intercooler wasnt busted just twisted he thinks there is an electrical fault somewhere.He isnt vat registered either but all the parts were genuine seat.

 

[Emm]

I would try another dealer, mate - if all possible.

I am going to phone seat uk on monday mechanic thinks it is the ecu .I have had problems already with the egr valve getting a pulsed signal now it seems to be the air flow meter getting a poor/faulty signal after checking all wiring.Anyone else had any ecu problems yet.I now have lost all conidence in local dealer.

car is going to a different dealer on friday morn seat uk reckon warranty is still valid if prob is a manufacturing defect.so fingers crossed.DanGB there`s a pair of FR bumpers in black magic on ebay for 375+delivery if that`s any help

Got my car sorted.Dealer found two broken wires they seemed to already know about one of them had fixed one on another car as well.They told me seat had notifyed them of software update and possible problem with a valve in the preheating system collapsing in some cars.Now all i have to do is figure out why my climate control has started blowing cold air all the time except on the highest setting.hopefully when it,s in for service they can sort the heating.This dealer service dept is first class makes the other shower look incompetent.

 

[Nathanio]

Was this another dealer or the same one?

 

[leapy]

sorry it was a different dealer this one was far more competent. i also found out the first dealer i went to is being terminated by seat

wilsons of rathkenny sorted the car and mc garritys in campsie r being given the boot.

 

[Michael B]

^^ I bought my car off wilsons, no complaints really.. Think they are even going to replace my wipers under warranty..

 

[leapy]

wilsons have been first class they kept me informed the whole time i was there and even gave me a free fry while i was waiting.when they couldn`t get the car sorted they got me a courtesy car straight away.they have put a lot of other dealers to shame

Leapy, that great the cars fixed, but dont break it again - well thats what my dealer said to me about another small issue .

 

[leapy]

I will try not to.
