Rear windows being a little temperamental on Toledo 20V SE (and a service question)

[MarkBournemouth]

Hi All,

Any ideas about this one? My rear windows only operate from the front drivers door. I noticed that the offside rear window button felt a little flaccid. On pressing it, the small 'door' icon on the button pushed through into the switch. In effect I now have a switch on that side with a door shaped hole. I noticed also that the rear windows (both sides) won't operate from the rear buttons, only from the drivers door

I'm thinking blown fuse, but is this a common problem? I have heard of funny things happening to Toledo/Leon electric windows.

Anyway, she's due for a major service soon (my 'service' icon flashes for about ten seconds after start up). I've been quoted £270 from SEAT, or £200 from a reputable independant. I'd rather take it to SEAT, but is that roughly a ball park figure for a 40,000 mile service?

The reason I ask is that it's only done a genuine 33,000 miles from new, but the last time it had a service was about a year or so before I got it (apart from a very minor one that the dealer did before purchase, which I don't think they've reset the 'service' flag). I'd rather get a proper one done for peace of mind.

TIA,

Mark

Window Query:
have you checked that the child lock is in the off position on the panel at the drivers door......i am sure there is a button that stops the rear windows from being "played with" in the rear...........
(sorry for egg sucking if you have already noticed this)

Thanks Sam.....

I hadn't realised that. Will have to go and check. I may have inadvertently hit the childlocks, although the rear passengers can open the doors from the inside without a problem. If not, I'll let the dealer sort it.

Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the good advice Sam....

that did the trick. They've been like that for over two months

Anyway, that's small headache sorted.

Looking forward to seeing more pics of your Toledo when you get the next set of mods done
