They dealer has to Prove that the modifications you made have caused the problem bwefore that decline to fix it. Have you spoke to Seat UK? or tried a different dealer?

dealer charged me £60 for diagnostic and said near enough sure its the turbo .the guy who fitted parts for me said he stripped +checked everything and saw the turbo spin himself.he said the intercooler wasnt busted just twisted he thinks there is an electrical fault somewhere.He isnt vat registered either but all the parts were genuine seat.

I am going to phone seat uk on monday mechanic thinks it is the ecu .I have had problems already with the egr valve getting a pulsed signal now it seems to be the air flow meter getting a poor/faulty signal after checking all wiring.Anyone else had any ecu problems yet.I now have lost all conidence in local dealer.:confused:

Got my car sorted.:D:D:DDealer found two broken wires they seemed to already know about one of them had fixed one on another car as well.They told me seat had notifyed them of software update and possible problem with a valve in the preheating system collapsing in some cars.Now all i have to do is figure out why my climate control has started blowing cold air all the time except on the highest setting.hopefully when it,s in for service they can sort the heating.This dealer service dept is first class makes the other shower look incompetent.

wilsons have been first class they kept me informed the whole time i was there and even gave me a free fry while i was waiting.when they couldn`t get the car sorted they got me a courtesy car straight away.they have put a lot of other dealers to shame:)
