Probably not the best idea to display your full VIN on an open forum

 

[Triple D]

erm im not sure but it doesnt sound too good tbh

 

[robjackson]

doh - soz forgot that!!
Whats the diagnosis?

 

[Leigh15]

No idea - sorry mate - doesn't look too healthy though

If you hit the edit button on your first post, you'll be able to remove your VIN

i work for peugeot and when all faults like that all over the cars electrics happen its usually the ecu or bsi thats the problem, however this is a seat and so that prob will be wrong!

Hope it is ok!
(would deffo take it to the dealers!)

Its at seat now :-(

 

[tommmineh]

search the codes individually and you should find answers

 

[Guinness]

does the car still work? and is this not the code for the timing belt issue?

 

[zippyprorider]

good luck at the dealers!

 

[Nath.]

the 1.2 has a history oif throwing the timing chain a few teeth and making the valves out of time with the pistons, this can be caused by a broken chain tensioner

this I think throws up the last fault code that you listed and hopfuly the other ones are affect rather than cause, it also inhibits starting of the engine so as to stop valve damage


the very best of luck to you with it

also consult a dealer for a 50/50 repair job as seat know this problem happens and have paid out after earrenty has ended many times on this timing chain issue before

 

[Triple D]

May be worth posting it up in the VAGCOM section???

 

[robjackson]

alread did to no avail

 

[BlackFR]

There's a few sensors there with implausible signal faults. Its a wild stab in the dark but could they all be on the same earth stud which is now making dodgy contact?

 

[robjackson]

i will let you know later, in this afternoon

Can you please point me to where i can find more information about tgis before i approach the dealer about the "known issue"?

 

[Nath.]

I did a search and this was the first 3 results, lots of people on here have deffo had this problem
either causing rough running or a failure to start cos it's jumped lots of teeth

ring the dealers and ask about the 1.2 timing chain tentioner known fault, I think they were upgrading them as part of a service (sort of a recall)

 

[robjackson]

Right here goes:
Problems diagnosed by SEAT without any fault codes bar what i gave them:
new timing belt/chain, tensioners, and guides
coolent temp sensor

Price of parts - £140
Price of labour - £640 (£80/hr)


Option B
Engine from a mate for £250 (done 15k miles)
fitted by another mate for £100

Total cost inc. paying seat for "diagnosis" £400


Whats the best option?

 

[zippyprorider]

the resale vale of your car would be *uck all if you change engines but how old/ milage of urs so do you care. If its resale is 4-5 grand ish id stick with seat!
