altea

My 2004 ALTEA 1.9 tdi FR has been absolutely brilliant for 40,000 miles but this week the tailgate release button fails to open the tailgate (I have the central locking, properly unlocked). ie. when I operate the SEAT badge button on the tailgate, it does not pop open. Nothing happens...

hi lads, wonder if I could pick your brains? I've got an 06 plate Seat Altea 1.9 TDi owned from new and only done 25k miles. my problem is that its recently had an irritating intermitent fault in that theres a very loud knocking coming from the engine and it stops when I press the clutch. It...

Guys, just wondering on opinions on Brakes. Looking to replace disks and pads on all wheels on 04 2.0TDI Sport. Dealer parts without discount come to around £270. Assume its best to go with 'Approved' parts or would they be much of a saving going for 'equivalents' and would they be as good as...

Hi all, hoping someone may have come across this issue....... I drive a Seat Altea XL 2.0 TDI DSG and have noticed that the rear washer is no longer squirting, however, the pump in the front works. There is now a mystery pool of washer fluid that turns up in the offside rear passenger cupholder...

HI I'm just wondering who have got new facelifted altea? Can somebody share new experiences? problems(?) and overall opinion? I'm thinking of buying new 1.4 125hp.

A few months back my wife had an Altea as a courtesy car from our local dealer, and today I've got one while my Leon is in for service. I'm 5'11" and she's 5'6" and we both have the same complaints, and I'm wondering whether it's just us, or are the Altea's ergonomics a bit weird? Basically...

I have now twice experienced this effect within one month on my Altea XL 1.9 TDI, 2008. Km's only 15000! After starting the engine and starting driving, after about 100 metres oil pressure light turns on and warning alarm beeps. I turn off the engine, open the engine hood and notice, that...

Hi, Noticed the lamp warning light come on in my 54 plate Altea and then checked and I have a brake\rear light bulb gone. The only issue is I cannot make any sense of the handbook instructions for replacing the bulb! It suggests I take out 2 screws that are rear facing in the door seal next...

Anyone got one yet looking at the Altea sport 2.0tdi 170 is this the same engine that was in the FR? Also any bad points or points that could be better I have had a Altea before but some year ago Thanks Steve

Well guys! the time has come as many of you probably predicted recently. I have done a deal on a new car so the Altea will be going in the next few weeks. I pick up my Audi A4 Avant 1.9TDi S-Line on the 1st of December!! Cant wait!!! The Altea has been an excellent car really and quite...

Hi guys Just a quickie, I am thinking of putting rear mounted LCD's into the back of the front seats. (was things of putting them in the head-rests but the angle of the head-rests would make watching the LCD's just about impossible), so thinking about the back of the seat above the tray...

Hi guys I need some specific help on Altea 2.0TDI 2006 (model 2005???). At first sorry if my english is not so good... ;) There are few things... At first, the signal that the speedometer use comes from gearbox speed sensor (I think so) or from ABS sensor(I've heard about - I have ABS)...

EDIT: Title should say lock NOT disengaging when key removed from ignition. Hi All, My G/F's Altea has developed a problem. When she removes the key from the ignition, the locks normally disengage however they are no longer doing this. In addition, the Radio is not turning off, she now has to...

Hi, I have a 54 plate Altea Tdi sport. The problem I have is that the heater/blower only comes on when I go into reverse gear. I drove ten miles with the heater on and you can hear it blowing, but no air actually coming out. i did think it was a pipe that had come unstuck. But when I reversed...

well, I haven't, but the Mrs has. Her old Lupo TDI racked up an amazing 155K, and never missed a beat in 2 years, but it was time for something newer and bigger. Initially looked at golfs, but mk4's are too old (and I've had one) and she don't like mk5's, the golf plus or tourans, or polo's...

Just recently, my fan setting on 1 to 3 stopped working. 4 works OK. Would appreciate any help or pointers in how to get it to work properly. My car is not climatronic - it uses dials. I do have air con which works OK but only on level 4. Don't appreciate the force 10 gale first thing on...

Hey guys... As the titled suggest.... My Altea turned it's self off while doing 40 mph... I quickly put my hazards on - slowly pulled over. The radio was still on... the lights where still on - all dials on the dash went to 00. Put it into park... handbrake... turned the key to...

Has anyone fitted front parking sensors to a freetrack. My wife loves the car but being a shortie cant see how far she is away when parking. Can anyone help please:cry:
