Thanks, but I doubt that will help the matter - it needs to reel out, not in.

Yes, Misha knows the circuit very well believe me! (I think you meant to put Nurburgring, not Nuremburg) That was a very impressive lap in a tall SUV and with three up at least. Getting around the track quick is generally about the driver, not the vehicle.

A very rare occasion reared it's head last week when we needed to carry five people in the car, so therefore somebody had to have the pleasure of sitting in the middle! However, the seat belt would not budge from its retracted position flat against the seatback surface - no amount of pulling or...

Okay thanks, this is the area with the problem on my Ateca. Usually the heat works, but not on the last occasion. What with southern UK winters being relatively mild in recent years it's only an occasional problem! Thanks for your help.

I don't quite understand what component is actually freezing,. The door opened from the inside, then wouldn't latch shut when I tried to pull it closed.

Does anyone else have the same issue with getting into their Ateca after a big freeze overnight? Since I bought ours new back in July 2020, every winter when it's a particularly cold and frosty night (not often seeing as we live in Surrey!) it's usually a faff to get into the car. For some...

Cant believe three years have passed so quickly, but they have. Picked up our new FR Black Edition on 4th July 2020 and today it had it's third service and first MOT (which it passed) - mind you, at just 13.5K miles I'd expect it to! I've steered away from the main dealer network now (not...

A bit late to the party here, but I recently noticed that the tank flap tried to resist popping open when pushed - it always did but, was a bit of an effort. All I did was spray some WD40 within the mechanism and it's worked fine ever since. However, I didn't realise before reading this thread...

Hi Johan, welcome along.

Holy thread revival..! Being an old thread, just thought I'd check what's the current choice, or options, for indicator LEDS for the rear of a 2020 Ateca? Thanks.

From a servicing point of view, what should I expect my main dealer to do to my Ateca (1.5 FR Black Edition) at two years old and around 9,700 miles when it goes in in a couple of weeks? Nothing to do with cost as it's on a service plan, just curious really. I'm expecting it to be an engine oil...

Welcome along!

That's possibly the seller. Driving is so much more pleasant with decent (silent) blades!

Forgot to mention, the price using wiperblades.co.uk were good at a little under £30 for the front Bosch pair (A864S). Before I orderd them I thought I'd just check Amazon. Pleased I did - £21 delivered. Can't recall the name of the seller, but if anyone wants to know I'll dig out the receipt.

Cheers guys, I'd never have guessed. I did initially wonder why cruise would have been on (I rarely use it). However, the day before my wife drove the car part way around the M25 and she loves a bit of cruise control!

Well, it was there, then it wasn't. Recently it came back and now it's gone again! Someone please, how the hell do I get total mileage to display permanently?! Yes, I do have the book but can't be faffed to trawl though it for something this specific. Thanks.

Thanks Tell, I sorted it out that way. Cheers.

No, I didn't reset anything, the clock and trip suddenly appeared this morning on the VC as no miles and 0:02 time. The odo isn't a problem, I just need to figure out how to correct the time manually.

For some unknown and random reason, I noticed this morning that the clock and odo (trip) meter readings had reset themselves. Not a major problem, but what might have caused that? Incidentally, when I reset the time it went to BST, not local time. Should it not have gone to local time? And one...

I've already thought about the warranty. We had planned on keeping the Ateca for five years, therefore buying two more years of warranty from SEAT. I might re-think that, find an alternative warranty and use a very good local independent VAG specialist instead. Never have I found a main...
