    Also. The temp gauge can also run quite hot, double check the fan is kicking in when you stop. Sent from my XQ-AS52 using Tapatalk

    Will we loose the feeling.

    I agree. I think a good balance of the investment in the bio fuels, hydrogen etc. But having electric as an option if people want it. Electric for vehicles such as trucks, vans delivery type vehicles I think should be priority. Where they are in and out of city driving all day. There does...

    Windscreen washer problem

    That's an interesting one I did have it at the dealer a few days ago. Defo not the fuse. I also Checked that and I guess they just confirmed it. They have booked it back for a few days, hopefully on seats Dime as I have the all in one service warranty thing. But I might call back to them and...

    The dreaded Ea888 thermostat timebomb

    I wonder if one of the fourum mods could bump the post to see if we can gain a little traction with this? Maybe get it out to other members for a poll or something to see if we can get a number of affected people or something. Sent from my XQ-AS52 using Tapatalk

    The dreaded Ea888 thermostat timebomb

    TLDR. make sure to get a new seal between the housing and water pump too. I find it mad how many people are getting caught out with this issue. Seat just literally deny there is a problem. Had mine fixed in warrenty but then had to get the whole thing done again as they only replaced the...

    The Dreaded Water Pump Problem!

    I feel your pain on this. Had my thermo housing replaced under warranty. It was the seal between the two on mine that went. The bit that annoyed me was that I went to. A garage and they phoned the dealer about the part and were told that they should buy all of the assembly Inc the water pump...

    Water Pump/ Thermostat housing

    Hey. Sorry to hear about your problem. This does seem to be a common issue with these. Happened on my cupra. Mine happened under warranty and seat replaced it. But only the thermostat housing. 14 months later a seal went between the thermo housing and water pump. Seat would not help at all...
