I spoke to Seat customer services today and explained what had happened and said that it was a joke that the plugs needed replacing after only doing 9900 miles and even more disgusted that they weren't covered under the warranty. They said that plugs are classed the same as brakes and clutches and thus only have a 6 month /6000 mile warranty. This was also printed nicely on my invoice for the replacements. The person i spoke to did say that she would speak to dealers to see if they would write off the labour involved and come back later in the day and she was as reliable as the spark plugs....
Before i rang Seat i thought i would just give VW a call to see what there stance on spark plugs was and there policy is exactly the same. Whether this is a new policy under the warranty agreement (or not in this case) on spark plugs who knows?
All in all it sounds like the VAG Group don't have much hope for the reliability of the components they use!!

I had to pay for spark plugs when this same problem happened to me
mate whoever you are listening to is taliking crap , worst thing is you believed them and forked out
if your car is under warranty and your plugs have failed then its covered under your warranty , in the leon they are supposed to last 40k miles and i have been through 3 sets from failing in 3 years and 50k+ miles all covered under warranty.
hehe thats where your wrong and dealers laugh at us, theres a long long list of whats covered in 1st few months, 1st year and so on, water leaks aswell and rattles are one of them, plugs are wear and tear so it wouldnt suprise me if it got rejected. this list is pretty pathetic.
o we had a guy complain of seat discolour and guess what..... sun damage in 1st year. wouldnt pay out
I ordered all the service parts today but will get the guys at awesome to fit the plugs on Saturday when they are doing stage 2. Last thing i need is frikken misfires while trying to enjoy my new exhaust and map hehehehehehehe
I bought the NGK ones that were mentioned by GrDuDe titanium premiuim or something like that Mark so they should be much better than OEM and will defo be at inters Spurt mate. Will get piccies of what the new and old plugs look like tomorrow.
Bet you wont sleep tonight!!
Gonna give the car a polish tonight and possibly take the back seats out! Can't have you getting too far in front
See you tomorrow dude!

I am gonna get her washed up just now too. Going to work to see if I can the new plugs in quickly too. Update has been done and all seems fine but I have not floored it as I don't want to tempt fate hehehehehhhee
Splinter, have you just had the engine management light aswell?? Oh dear Im getting seriously worried now lol it seems to be happening to everyone! Could it be something to do with the Revo map?
How are the other VAG cars with the 1.4 tsi getting along with the revo? Are they experiencing the same issues?
Mines is unmapped but goes in for its first service and no doubt they'll do an update...Been faultless, although even saying that will be the kiss of death.
