I can't speak for the 1.0 TSI used within the VAG group, however I have recently driven a 1.0 ecoboost 125ps and a hyundai 1.0 120ps engine
Having come from a 2.0 TDI 170, I can say they are slower to pick up speed and less urgency from a standing start. In gear is not as bad as I thought it...
Hi Keri.
Does the leasing company request the money for the car from your insurance? (Assuming it's not recovered)
Does GAP protection cover any shortfall?
Glad to hear you are able to get another one
Fingers crossed you get to enjoy it [emoji4]

Had an issue very similar to how you describe
I got a P0299 code come up for an underboost condition
The turbo actuator had failed (or specifically the diaphragm within it)
I was losing pressure under moderate or hard acceleration. Pretty sure (as others have mentioned on the forum) that a...
Has anyone used Stable lease? They have their own PDI center (so assume this is not done by a local SEAT dealer)
I wondered if this means a quicker turn around from build to delivery

I didn't have a misfire but the coil light would come on if I pushed the car above 2k. Plus there was little to no boost
The diaphragm had gone on my actuator
I got the same error code
An actuator repair kit was ordered by my local dealer and fitted

My issue was a failed diaphragm within the actuator. Not sure if this has led to any excessive wear on the turbo
I am thinking the noise was the pressure leaking from the diaphragm (but just a guess)
The actuator repair kit has been installed and comes with a 2 year warranty. Let's just hope...
I have what's sounds to be the same problem
P0299 code came up which I cleared but has since come back after the engine warning light came on and loss of boost.
When the boost does seem ok, the noise when blipping the throttle sounds louder than normal. Like I can hear the turbo
Could this...
Stable lease are advertising the non Lux model @ £295 a month with 10k miles. That's based on a 6 + 23 payment profile

I think the facelift (FL) was late 2009. I have an April 2010 model and have owned it for over 9 years. Top car. I've done over 126k in mine so don't expect it to fetch much (I have been quoted around 2.5 to 3k)
The car you are looking at has very good mileage for its age. If it's the FL I'd...
My 2010 CR has a 0.5 plate reading (although the recent MOT document shows 0.05)
I had a pass with an average reading showing 0.0
The oil temp was at 77 degrees
MOT was done in April just gone

I was looking to use select car leasing or stable lease. My trouble is not knowing if I stick with SEAT or switch to VW or Skoda. I do like the grey but think black always looks nice and stealthy
I won't get white again as I've had mine for 9 years now. Need a change

Sorry to hear your car was stolen. I liked that blue colour. Didn't realise it wasn't easily available anymore - I wonder if that's due to this model reaching the end of production. I like the grey on a Golf GTI, not sure if the SEAT grey is similar

Thanks for the replies
I have had some diagnostics run on the car and the power ballast is at fault
I've read on here of other people sourcing parts from eBay and fitting themselves
The cost is high for a genuine part

My car has just failed it's MOT due to the nearside front headlight not having enough intensity. It's classed as severely reduced, hence the fail
I had the bulb (D1S) replaced a few weeks ago (as the headlamp had stopped working)
The replacement bulb got things working but clearly there is...
