Hi there,
Just thought I'd say hello - yes another newbie here dipping my toe into the world of Seat.
We're expecting our first, so had to get rid of the mrs' 3 door Corsa, (thank god), our new car had to be a bit left field / interesting, but it would also need to take all the associated junk that you must carry about with a new born, so yesterday I became the proud owner of a Seat Altea FR 2.0tfsi DSG. . . . . and after looking here / searching, it feels like I'm the only one!!!!
Only had 34k on the clock, but was a finance repo, so had a bit of neglect over the past few months, but the money was right, i got the all clear from an independent AA type engineer, and the dealer fixed all problems I outlined to him..... Oil leak, turbo hose had become un attached during a test drive, and the hazard warning light had gone (new switch fitted).
She's in dire need of a service, (bit breathless at the top of the rev range, not just as punchy in the mid range) and I though best to get that done myself at a Seat garage, vs letting the selling dealership scrimp on genuine / better parts) so will get that sorted this week....
I'm assuming that the service (oil, plugs and filters) should clear these (I think) small issues, but as I'm not techy, I'm happy to hear what else you think I should do, to bring her back to glory!
Hope to help where I can with any advice, although it may only be wine related!!
Cheers,
Gordie
