Yes the sound on the second press is the deadlocks deactivating.

This happened to my first mk4 when reversing off the drive. It was still under warranty so got fixed free. I was told they replaced the computer?!

+1 for two presses on the lock button

Sticking turbo vains?

Oops! Sorry. Thanks anyway :)

Thanks very much Bill. I was wondering about emailing you direct actually!

Hi all, Had my front pads and discs replaced in July along with MOT. Garage advised the calipers would benefit from overhauling as the inner pads were sticking. Drove it home and there was a loud constant scraping noise and brakes got very hot. I took it back and the garage sent the...

I'm having the same problem with my wife's altea. The handbook gives the same method of resynchronising. The lights flash at the lock button part, but nothing happens after that. I've bought two used key fob circuit boards and the same thing happens with those as well. Did any of you manage...

Hi all. Trying to programme remote key for my wife's 57 plate altea. I followed the guide above which is also in the handbook I.e: 1.spare key used to open car and turn ignition on 2.remote key used to lock car then press lock button (lights flash once, which they do!) 3.press unlock button...

So last night I replaced the sensor (after slicing my hands to bits to get at it) while giving the car a service. It hasn't changed anything - it's still reading higher than it should. After I'd changed it it was reading 19.5degC while my wife's Altea was reading 15degC. This morning when I...

Thanks for the responses. Need to service the car soon anyway so undertray it is. Cheers.

Hi all, My outside air temperature reading has been wrong for a while (in winter it was reading about 10deg C when it was 0deg C outside). Because of this, my climate control has been playing up. It thinks the outside air is warm enough to heat the car up so blows freezing cold air in! I'm...

I use a bigish sized cable tie

Cheers Damian. The springs got changed and the car's now back on the road. Lovin it!

Thanks Damian. I've gone for the H&Rs and just bought them off your website. Cheers

My TDI Cupra's just failed it's MOT on an "incomplete" rear spring! It's at a vw/seat specialist and he's had to order one from the dealers. he's been told they're on backorder and should be 7-10working days!! And one spring is going to cost £106!! wtf. my MOT runs out on friday so will be...

bit late in replying but i go to ron turnbull's, snowdon road, middlesbrough. VW, seat, audi, skoda specialist

Does anyone know if the same could happen to a 1.9 PD160? My car's been ticking quietly for a year or so but i've ignored it. Everyone I mentioned it to said they couldn't hear anything out of the ordinary, but I've had it from new so know it sounds different to how it used to sound. After a...

If you turn the fans down but don't completely turn the system off (so it says "off") then the air doesn't come through. At least it doesn't on my Mk 4 cupra. Might be different on yours?

Thanks muddyboots. I got the part from halfords as darkhorse suggested. It was only a fiver and worked a treat. At least i have it now for next time. The garage gave me the wrong filter as well. http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=130783 My car has an old one for some...
