altea

I've just put a deposit down on an 06 Altea 1.9TDi from a UK Seat Dealer. There were two things I noticed on test drive that I have asked to be sorted before picking the car up. It was in workshop for its checks yesterday so will hear today whether all is OK. I will be getting a years seat used...

Had our 1.9 reference sport diesel serviced today .. 07 plate 20k service .. we had a price given to us a few weeks ago for £192 .. anyway received a phone call saying as the car is 2 yrs old in march do we want the brake fluid done?.. £50 odd plus vat and also the pollen filter was dirty...

Recently a crow took fancy to my standard SEAT badge on my front grill, unfortunately for the bird I was doing 120 at the time. Needless to say the bird came off worse, however said bird was successful in his kamikaze attempt to de-badge my altea. This leaves me with a gaping hole on the front...

A mate of mine is looking at a 1.6 reference Altea XL, any problems he should look out for or advice for him?

I'm thinking of cleaning (or at least checking) my EGR valve on my Altea TDI Sport. any special tools needed for the 2.0 TDI BKD model? I take it there is some washer/seal that would need replacing when putting it back on? Any help or tips would be helpful.

After much research and having had some shocking tyres on the Altea before I decided to take a look to see what would be best for this rubbish weather we are having and also some nice sticky tyres for when it actually does clear up. I plumped for the Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 (reinforced), I...

Can anyone give recomendations for an iPod active link to the Seat Altea Headunit. I have an '08 Seat Altea Reference Sport 1.9 TDI, which has the aux input, This is not any use for controlling iPod through head unit, I was mislead by my dealer on this... If I had known I would have paid the...

just doing a quick count on the popular colours out there. post your colour here :-):D:D

Why people buy ALTEA? Is cost its, as is not a cheap car. Is it comfort as is not comfiest car in its class. Maybe engine which is loud not refined and just average on fuel. Or maybe customer service which is kinda poor and very expensive. What is it then? Just my point of view. Bought it for...

Hi I have a 2005 Altea 1.9tdi Stylance with 27000 miles, as of this morning there was a strange knocking noise from under the bonnet, which would come and go, took the car to the seat dealer and as I was pulling in the noise really got bad. The fitter diagnosed the problem that the flywheel...

Has anyone got a towbar fitted? I need one and can't decide whether to have a go myself, or get the dealer to do it. My local Seat dealer has quoted £497 fitted, apparantly due to the high costs of the electrics. This is for a detachable swan neck as that's all Seat offer. I really need a...

Hi folks, just installed a Dension Ice link 100(IPOD ACCESSORY) today and it doesn't appear to be communicating with the main stereo head. It comes with a black wire that is currently disconnected. I was wondering if this was a ground wire and if so where has it to be connected to,If anyone...

As I've mentioned I'm interested in getting a 1.8 TFSi Altea XL. One of the things holding me back was the stated 0-62 time of 9.1 seconds. A passing comment on the Briskoda forum re. the same engine in the Octavia Estate got me doing a little research and I'm now thoroughly confused. Why is...

Anyone any advice in getting the TV screen / ceiling unit from the Freetrack retro-fitted to an ordinary XL? Anyone clever with a parts list?

I'm considering purchasing an Altea XL 1.8TSi and would love to hear owners opinions about the vehicle.

Hi All, please can you confirm the questions below... 1, is the engine the same in the reference sport and the stylance (1.9tdi) 2 is the 1.9tdi 8v or 16v 3 is the 2.0tdi 8 or 16 v cheers in advance... Foc

I drove past my local dealer the other day. They had a black Altea out the front but didn't stop so can't be sure if it was an XL or not, I know it wasn't an FR, because the front bumper was the same as mine. What caught my eye though was the chrome lip around the bottom half of the lower...
