bet your dpf light comes on soon and the dealer finds its the exhaust pressure sensor (my experience twice)

confirmed and reapired under warranty today, Exhaust pressure sensor again.....

last time I did over 500 miles before the dealer could get the car in and fortunately it never went into any "limp" mode, my DPF regen actually still appears to happen as the DPF light has gone out but the emissions light has stayed on (same as it did last time). I guess if the sensor fails to a...

is it true that one cure is for the dealer to upgrade ECU and that this actually ignores the input from the pressure sensor and Seat have used this to get around the known issues with this type of sensor. ? anyone?

so there clearly is a design or quality issue here then...:lol:

at 20,000miles approx I had the DPF and Emmisions light come on together, into dealer and diagnosed as a faulty exhaust pressure sensor, replaced and all OK, Its now happened again at 43000 miles, do these things only last 20K, and how much will it cost me next time when it is out of warranty...

heard rumours about cambelt change any ideas anyone?

thanks for the comments, I am going to keep the car a little longer and Bluefin starts to sound more attractive or a set of Toyo R888s maybe..... Thanks for the comments about the pics this is another sideline of mine, if you want to see more go to my FlickR...

well its just coming up 2 years with my TDi FR. Its not been an easy relationship and there isnt a week goes by when I dont think of selling it. However despite the Steering Rack, DPF, Oil leaks and other issues it still puts a smile on my face when I get behind the wheel, HAPPY BIRTHDAY

I am happy with paying the fiver especially if some of it goes to Charity. HOWEVER make sure that if we are paying MSVR we had better get a damn good spot big enough for the number of cars PLUS the "hospitality " tent. Last years spot was good right in front of the Fogarty Moss centre at...

Oulton Park has swapped dates this year with Snetterton I think, Anyway it is later this year so with some luck it should be dry weather, no guarantees though.

Seat cars in the UK come with 3 year warranty. It is actually 2 year warranty (manufacturer) plus 1 year dealer warranty. I think if you use an independant VAT registered garage for servicing your first 2 years warranty are safe BUT you may lose the third year dealer warranty ....

Ah the underinflated understeer underpants problem....... underinflated front tyres can cause a bit of understeer that can result in a stain on the drivers seat :lol: to be honest the FR seats can "draw" a bit in hot weather, check for a nasty niff

Its a long story but I have had my FRTDI into the dealers recently for a 20K service and then had some problems with the DPF ? exhaust pressure sensor. I have had this car for 1 year and done 20K. The journeys are pretty consistent (Work and back etc) and predictable. I always got 40-42mpg...

see other threads the best appear to be Toyo Proxes T1R I fitted them to my FR tdi dont know if wear compares well or not to Bridgestones. Grip however is amazing I wore all 4 Bridgestones originally fitted out (after rotating them) at 17K miles, I dont know how you got 18K out of your...

i have had this problem on odd occasions with cds that have lots of tracks on (18-20ish) no problems though with MP3 Cds.. However I found a cure for the fault to get the CD out and get it to play. Its not nice You wont like it Stop the car press the eject button and wait for it HIT the...

Demon Tweeks do fit , they have a great workshop at Wrexham and you can have a look around their showroom and drool over all the goodies. They did mine in about an hour

just put a set of 4 Toyo Proxes T1R on my FR TDI. They have transformed the car and show just how rubbish the standard Bridgestones were. The car now not only handles a lot better but also I get a lot less wheel spin when pulling away also the traction control light comes on far less. Just...

fuel consumption varies greatly country lanes and A roads to work I average 38 mpg motorway the other week 80 mile journey got 52 mpg (busy M6 so limited to 60-70 mph) driven hard on short runs over Christmas I averaged 34 mpg However I have previously had other Diesels and they also gave...

Being a bit of an expert on Bird Doo Doo. It looks to have a redy blue tint to it. I bet you have some trees or bushes close by with lots of berries on. You definitely did the right thing washing it off, it will have a mixture of acetic and hydrochloric acid in it. Not so harmfull when its dry...
