This is what should be a very basic question that only a pure dumb head could possibly ask, maybe I am one, so, as per this thread title, how do you move/remove the media player etc so that you can reach the top latches of the pollen filter cover? I've used a couple of aftermarket pollen...

Has anyone considered changing to using an engine oils that claims to be API SP compliant yet? Almost accidentally I have discovered that the latest formulation and so deliveries of Mobil One 5W-30 ESP show this compliance, though I’ve yet to buy any, or find any available new stocks. In case...

Really just a copy of what I posted in the Arona section, aimed at people that don't wander into that section. I removed the air filter from my daughter's 2019 Arona, and discovered that probably the previous person, in a VW Group Indie, had grabbed the air filter up and away from the intake...

Has anyone actually removed their air filter on a 1.0TSI Arona yet, if the spark plugs have been replaced then the air filter will have been removed. But, if anyone has removed it themselves, did they find that the rubber coupler that is meant to be part of the intake manifold, has come...

Can anyone from actual ownership experience let me when the spark plugs and air filter for due for replacement according to SEAT? Thanks.

Has anyone used or heard of someone getting a SEAT serviced by VAG Indie garage in the Bromley area? I'm asking this as my daughter's May 2019 Arona will be due a service and MOT next month or so, and she does not seem to be considering using the local SEAT dealership, Westmoreland Garage seem...

Having just, last Saturday, actually seen and been driven in my daughter's Arona for the first time, I just wonder why SEAT chose to compromise the position of the handbrake handle so that the drinks storage is more useable. Also, as she said when they bought that car used, the handbrake action...

Has anyone who has had or still has an Arona MY2019 had recall action 45I1 carried out while the car was in for normal servicing? If so, what exactly di that recall action cover? Thanks in anticipation as my younger daughter is buying a 2019 Arona Xcellant Lux 1.0TSI 6MT with that action...

Not an Ibiza, but a same age VW Polo, the bolt nearest the front on the near side, ie the one roughly behind the ARB mounting clamp area, failed due to what I consider to be corrosion caused by road spray and winter salt spray getting in from above this bolt and welling up in the over sized hole...

My oldest daughter's May 2019 Leon Cupra has only done 10K miles from new, but now I see that the rear discs are black with corrosion and badly ridged - is this what any other people are finding probably due to lack of continuous use? I scanned her car on Sunday prior to it getting its second...

As per the title line, my daughter's end of April 2019 Reg'd but build date 22nd Feb 2019 Leon Cupra has "G13" printed onto its coolant reservoir tank, but the on-line owners manual says only G12 evo should be used if topping up is required. So which is correct and has anyone managed to buy a...

Does any one know what the open holes are for near the windscreen end of the under bonnet area, one on each side on a flat area at each side? I ignored them the first time I noticed them on my daughter's Leon Cupra, but when she was washing the car last Saturday at our house, I noticed that...

Can anyone who has a MK3 Leon Cupra that came with 18" wheels, please let me know what pressures are quoted on the "tyre pressures label/sticker" please, I searched for what the pressures SEAT advise but have drawn a blank, even the driver's handbook and workshop manual suggest that the...

What are people doing to try to minimise the risk of their Cupra being driven away? I know that is makes sense to remove the alarm delay, but what else are people doing? On my Audi S4 I have done that and fitted a mechanical blocker over the OBD2 port, and use a Disklok. People should be...

Has anyone else found that there has been some settings issues after scanning the car with a genuine Carista dongle? I checked my daughter's August 2019 SEAT Leon Cupra for logged faults, found 7 controller with legacy stored faults, but have not cleared them yet, but she discovered that when...

As per the tittle line, car is my daughter's late 2009 Ibiza 1.4 SC in white, this car has never ever had any paintwork damage and owned by her from new, suddenly, over the past few weeks since the weather has got warmer bubbles/blisters have suddenly appeared on both sides of the car between...

Well it looks like I've just joined the "my air con pressure sensor is leaking" club! My oldest daughter has just returned to UK and I've sold her back her old car, a late 2009 Ibiza, so far so good. Today has been unusually warm./hot so she, who is more used to a steady +30C from her time in...

As per the title line, can anyone tell me what the correct tightening torque is for the nuts securing the lower ball joint to the end of the lower arms (TCA) please, thanks!

I left the late 2009 Ibiza a the airport when we went to Italy for a week last September, it rewarded me by discharging its battery - which I knew might happen so I had taken a booster battery pack with me in the car - that battery draining issue was resolved by getting a BCM S/W update in...
