if its just out i'd be kicking and screaming at seat uk!, although they might blame all your mod's as dealers do try when it means spending there money.

At least it's getting sorted I guess. And it's good of the garage to stand by their work and fix the problem they should have done in the first place! Many places would have charged you twice for their failing to do the job properly.
