I have been thinking, maybe all members with injector problems should add their name to a list and if replaced free or charged.

Or i was thinking of buying a domain name; where people can add there name, like a protest site

Then we could write a decent letter with this info and above letters to SEAT UK & Watchdog. And hope we are heard. I think it will take someone to have a serious accident, before a major recall is done.

I think it is crap that we have to argue to get something to which we are entitled.

Phoned SEAT uk yday got told to phone my local SEAT dealer which is SEAT Coventry and told the bloke about the injector problem and he didn't know anything about the problem and said it'll be £84 to look at The injectors so I told Simon will be in touch, but he phoned him himself and the great man simon seems to be, SEAT Coventry will change all 4 injectors and the harness FOC, just hope the injectors last till next fri, remap the week after cannot wait. A big thank you to whoever found out about getting injectors replaced FOC and Simon, even though I do agree they still should be recalled as people who aren't on forums will shell out ££££'s as they dont know they are faulty and can get them replaced FOC it not on!

Hey guys spoke to simon and he has offered to put my car in for a free diagnostics and injector test

What if they come back fine? Do i drive off and ring him again saying i want them changed because i drive my little brother about or do i tell the garage or? Ive complained of poor performance and mpg because the garage pestered me for reasons so when they find nothing wrong :(?

stand firm- key that you say you feel unsafe using the vehicle and use it daily and express your reasons why you cant wait 84 months from purchase for them to go.

Have you got anywhere with that approach?

Will this work? i do take my brother out in this car so it is a concern for me, i find it hard to get in touch with him with me being at work 9-530 aswell

I haven't managed to speak with him either and I also haven't received any emails so I'm guessing he's avoiding us or snowed under with all the complaints about the injectors. I'm not giving up on this till my wife and me have both had our cars done.

Cheers......Mad Jock
