strange call tho as he really seemed to not want to tell me anything and kept saying he will pass me onto my complaint manager which has never happened before

I had that once. The girl was talking so fast and panicked that i couldn't get what she was saying. Sounded so desperate to keep me happy and kept trying to refer me to customer complaints. In the end she asked if I wanted to escalate my "complaint" to management, so I just said "i guess...?" and now i get weekly updates on my car plus the offer of a good will gesture. Can't complain.

Is the engine supposed to revert back to comfort mode everytime the car is turned off then back on? Or just the gearbox?
Reason i ask is on my 19plate, when im in comfort mode then switch the dsg box to "S" i get no pops, bangs or farts in comfort but if i switch the mode to sport or cupra i get loads of pops, bangs &farts if i then switch off the engine, the next time i start the car it says its still in sport/cupra but gearbox in "D" i flick the dsg box to "S" and i get pops and bangs again without changing the mode

Yep all models are the same, bit of a pain really! Some thing it’s for safety reasons so your not ragging the engine before it’s up to temp but the car doesn’t flick into cupra/sport mode once up to temp so that doesn’t seem like a genuine argument..

Seems abit daft, just dont understand why i get no pops or anything when in comfort mode but if i switch the car off in sport/cupra mode all i have to do is change the dsg box into sport when i start the car and it pops and bangs again

Yeah dsg must be in sport for pops and bangs to occur. I don't get much of either but some burbles on overrun.

Just spoke to Seat and have confirmed week 4 build week, so should be end of Feb at the dealers!

Aquarius Ace scheduled to leave Barcelona on the 2nd Feb (if I 'win the lottery' mine may be on that as well). Due in Sheerness on the 9th with Grimsby and Tyne each one day later......

Been lurking on this thread for a while...

I ordered on 15th August from LO and was told yesterday that the car has been built and is expected with the dealer in the next 4 weeks.

I guess it’s waiting to set sail alongside a load more :shrug:

Glad yours has been built!
Did you order a Lux Hatch?

Yeah I have been told build week 2-5 he said it could be any of them so they are clueless
I got told the same today, still showing in systems as wk48 build but all backlogged orders will be completed wk2-5. Was offered £250 compensation after raising a complaint.
