Flat Spot

[Shaggy]

Decided not to take my car to the dealers with the flat spot trouble.

The Leon has decided to start behaving since last night on the way home. Had a bit of a set too wth a Beemer 325 (which did not stand a chance)
Since then no flat spot. So perhaps a bit of shite in the Air Filter or Petrol?

Who knows. Will keep you updated.

Well Shaggy,

I do not own a turbo as you know, but i can acknowledge the fact that giving full throttle to the baby on a nice long highway can be useful

Dear Mr Saud

Thank you for your e-mail dated 27th June 2001.

We are concerned to read about your experiences when driving your SEAT Leon

So that your vehicle can be fully tested we would recommend that you return
to Marshalls of Cambridge. To allow our own Service Technical Manager the
opportunity to examine the vehicle may we suggest that you call the
dealership Service Manager on 01223 377550 to arrange for the examination at
the time the Service Technical Manager is next scheduled to visit the
dealership.

We would comment that we have no knowledge of this flat spot occurring in
other SEAT Leon vehicles. The press has thoroughly tested the vehicle and
we have received no comments to suggest that the flat spotting is occurring.

Should you wish to speak to us in the meantime please do not hesitate to

Well, I have it, Zboyd Had it, about 10 others have it on this group alone. Amethyst have sorted plenty of cars that have.

So I would say that counts as more than 1.

/me still has it even with a chip, but im in the position now where SEAT can blame the chip. So im snookered as per usual

Especially now the closest dealer to me is probaly one of the worst out there

Got It Fixed Boys. Took it back to my local dealer Sutton Park SEAT at Maidstone, they had it it for half a day (I got to play in a 1.1 Arosa) and replaced the air mass metre.

What a difference, its like a new car in every gear.

Thanks Sutton Park, Nice service too.

Now all i need to do is convince someone my car needs a new air mass meter.

A difficult task considering the opposition i seem to be getting.

Seems that i have to now wait for a SEAT technical manager to give the piss poor dealer permission to fix my car which is still under SEAT's warranty.

hmm somethings afoot
