same prob here... found a diesal specalist who is gonna check my injectors for 30 quid... but been told injectors are costly. apparently u can get your injector reconditioned..!!!
Another thing to note I am getting considerably better MPG now too...
Before the injector swap I was lucky to get 40mpg on a 50 mile trip to my Mums, now it is closer to 50mpg than 40 !!!!!

That shouldn't be right. They should be replacing all 4 free of charge if your vehicle is one of the affected ones. Phone Seat UK and speak to them

Got mine back yesterday. 2 day lead time on the parts for this recall I was told as they've done the vast majority and are on the last few, or so the dealers told me.
Definitely a bit smoother with the power, but I had wheelspin in 3rd around 50mph, which I never had before. I'll test the MPG tomorrow on my run across the M62.

Just want to add that I have had zero problems since the new injectors. Considerably better MPG too. A recent 380 mile trip returned 52.2mpg. Speed varied between 60-90mph so it wasn't exactly a cheat either.
Read the thread and you will se you need to speak to SEAT UK, if your car is due a recall there will be no charge just give them your vehicle VIN number and they will tell you straight away
Yep I haven't changed my driving style and I am getting significantly better MPG and so is my missus on her commute

Guys, thanks for this FORUM and this thread alone.
Read it last Tuesday 10th April phoned Seat UK and logged it straight away as the injector issue. She said to call dealer and then inform them when booked in. Phone Arnold Clark SEAT in Paisley, booked in for the Thursday morning. Dropped off thursday 8am and phone call at 12noon to say they have all been replaced. Picked up and phoned SEAT UK on Friday.
Excellent service from all. I also have to state that my Car is a 2008 plate and our of Warranty, but Seat UK Chris Gray(sp?) said no problem 12 month workmanship labour on the installation of Injectors and 2year warranty on the injectors as parts.
Very happy all round and just shows exactly what this website is good for - sharing the knowledge
p.s. to this date neither my Seat Main Dealer or SEAT UK have sent me a letter to say about the fix, even though i had an affected vehicle - so DO NOT wait for a letter, give them a phone.
p.p.s now getting 45-50MPG v 40 average after just one tank

I only use my car once every 3 weeks for work (wife uses it the rest of the time) and i have been using it this week and so far all seems fine so far mate.
I am however going to install the smaller egr valve as i've noticed some jumping whilst driving slowly in first gear .
