altea

Hay all, Before I bought my Altea I spotted whilst on Snowboarding holiday an Altea with some nice shinny roof rack bars, now im going boarding again I fancy getting some, anyone know how much? and where from?? Also my cousin has roof bars on her 2003 Leon, will it fit my 2005 Altea...

Simple one really... I have seen loads of SEAT related forums that have a small Altea subsection, but nothing actually dedicated (and in English) Which i find quite odd as you will usually find one about for most car models. Thanks Chris

Hello All, I have bought the missus an 1.9 Altea which supposedly comes pre-wired with for a Tom Tom....... I took the radio out to fit a Dension ipod kit and can see that the car 'seems' to be wired up for the tom tom, i.e there are connections for muting and power coming from the back of...

Almost time to say goodbye to our Altea FR, we've traded it in after 2years of fantastic, trouble free service. My better half picks up her Ibiza Formula Sport next Saturday, kids no longer want to be seen with us (yup they are now teenagers) so we decided to downsize but to stick with Seat...

I've part exchanged my Altea because i've had to many problems with it, great drive, shame about the reliability. I'll give you a list of things that i can remember; Mass Flywheel recall Fuel pump recall Required 2x drivers door window seals Lumbar Support not fitted to driver seat, but...

Have had my 2.0TDI DSG for a week now. Impressed so far although the interior fit/finish/trim/quality and hifi isn't a patch on my Alfa 166. Surprising for a car that is 8 years newer in design. I paticularly notice how tinny/hollow the doors are/sound on opening/closing. Few queries...

Was wondering if any Altea owners have a test drive, or own the new Altea Free Track 4? Suggestions, comments etc all appreciated, even the colour choice would be interesting. Thanks Tab

Well after a very long wait it's finally arrived.:thumbup: Ordered on 02/09/07, delivered to Dealers 13/11/07, collected by me 06/12/07 (Due to the DVLA being useless) Altea XL Stylance 2.0 TDI 140 in Luna Grey with sports pack (Seats & Wheels) And of course, the practical...

Hi Guys, This Saturday I picked up our brand new caravan with my 05 Altea 2.0l TDI sport & took it to a local camp site for a trial run. I was not to good reversing the rig into the bay, so I left the engine running & we all jumped out the car to pushed the caravan in by hand. When the...

Hi guys! Had my Altea for about 6 weeks now and i am really pleased with it! I have covered about 5000 miles in that time and its an impressive car! Little about me... I am 21.. (the only 21 year old that owns an Altea? lol) I have been driving for 4 years and this is my 5th car!! Don't...

Our car went into limp mode on saturday after the DPF light being on for over a week, this filter is a pain in the butt, normally it clears within a few days but didnt this time and has now shoved the car into limp with warning lights. So its going into the dealer today for it to be cleared...

A car belonging to some friends of ours (wife and I). I was aksed the day before to clean it up and add some protection for the coming winter. So with the afternoon re-planned I set too. Before: fronts: rears: A snowfoam wash, twice! Smartwheels on the alloys...

Good evening all, I have just aquired a 54 plate Altea. (Yesterday, so it's a bit early to comment yet!) The courtesey light switch, the one in the headlining, seems to have a loose connection. Does anyone know how to remove the panel to get at it? Also, I like to carry a spare battery...

Hi, I'm new to this site but not to car forums, I find they are a great source of information (as this one is just having taken a look around). I bought, two weeks back, an 06 Altea FR (family just increased in size so needed something more friendly). Past cars include a celica 190 tsport...

Saw the other review, Autoexpress one here

Hi all, I hope that your all well? I'm looking to sell my aging Vauxhall Vectra in the next month and pick up a shiny new or more likely nearly new Altea, before I part with my hard earned cash, I have some questions that I was hoping you could all help me with. (1) I'm looking at...

Hi Guys, Is ther any guide on how to change the wiper blades on the Altea :confused:. Also Has anybody found a cheap source for replacement wiper blades or are we tied into SEAT ones at £48 the pair?:cry: Bidey fae Perth

Hi all, picked up a 1.9 tdi rerence sport last friday and am very pleased with it. Only gripe so far is the arial and it's position. it keeps snagging on my up and over garage door when i open and close it which results in some nasty twangs if I don't pull far enough into the garage. "drive...

Anyone out there driven (or even bought) an Altea XL with the new 1.8 Tfsi engine? If so what are your impressions? Looks an intriguing combination and a good balance of power and economy (also just read a review of the Skoda Octavia with the new engine and it got a good write up). Plus...

Recently got an Ibiza FR tdi and have had it remapped. Now the car is pretty damn fast. Certainly faster than my previously owned 306 167bhp Rallye! However, my wife owns an 06 Altea tdi Reference Sport. We tend to swap cars occasionally for our commutes to work. Driving the Altea this...
