Exactly the same as I've found - normally a Focus (or something Ford generally) in the next lane (when crawling along the motorway in rush hour).

You can only hear it with the window open to be fair.. Recently passed 25,000 miles in mine.

Only annoying noise on mine is the "rattle" I can hear when driving alongside a wall and it's in 2-cylinder mode. Have never heard the turbo though..

This is my 4th 1.4/DSG VAG car - a winning combination. Have done over 150,000 miles in them and no issues with the DSG (the twincharger engine was a different matter). It's not perfect - runs out of puff at the top of the rev range and it sometimes seems to be sluggish coming off a trailing...

By law, a car speedo can't under-read, but can over-read by up to 8% (I think). This allows for difference in tyre sizes (despite the wording, not all tyres of a specific size have exactly the same rolling radius), plus a little bit of a safety factor.

Agreed - I was down to 3mm on the fronts on mine at 18,5k (service) and that's the Dunlops it came with from the factory. Just about to hit 22k and they still aren't quite down to the treadwear indicator (but are pretty close now).

:thumbup:

Not sure if its exactly the same flap as on an ST but mine was a sod to open to start with until I realised it works every time if you press the flap where the actual lock is (I think it bent the flap rather than activated the lock) - just below the swage line on mine. If you are pressing it in...

Either wait a couple of seconds (the same gearset is used for 1st and reverse) before releasing the brakes or try pressing the brakes a bit harder when stationary to get the Hill Hold to kick in?

Mine runs fine on Tesco 95 to be honest and that's where it gets filled 95% of the time. Partly because it's over the road from home..

I didn't get one when it was delivered by the dealer (first time) although it did appear when it went back for a warranty repair (to the towbar cover they messed up). Didn't get a second one when it went for its first service.. Try and blag one from your dealer? Saying that, one would hope...

If SEAT UK say no, then I guess that's the answer - but without it in writing, you may be left in the lurch..

I'm getting a real 50mpg+ from mine - just driven normally. It does get better as the car gets a few miles under its belt - When refilled it used to claim 490 miles to empty when new. It now says between 530 and 540 miles each time and just done 510 miles on the last tank with a claimed 45...

Any oil to the correct VW spec will do - Castrol Edge being the preferred brand and available in most places (i.e. petrol stations) these days. Didn't you get a top up litre (normally in a black bag, usually velcro'd to the inside of the boot somewhere)?

Probably true a few years ago - my previous 1.4 TSI engines were twincharged and really did benefit from using 98 or greater (it was recommended for the Fabia and it really didn't like running on 95 but certainly the Scirocco went a lot better on 98 or better - fuel economy alone paid for the...

Used to do it occasionally in both a Passat and a Golf. Now back in a DSG :D

Daft question - did you have your seatbelt on at the time? That seems to confuse it..

Yep - I found setting it to BST and GPS occasionally resulted in it slipping back to GMT. Set it manually in the end...

Do you mean a "Service Campaign" which is different to a Recall? That basically means they've found a possible issue which is not safety related. I'm not sure why Seat Emergency Service are involved though?

Nothing here - although mine's going in for a service in a fortnight.
