  1. Anyone had their emissions "fixed"?

    I realise that fuel consumption goes up in winter but I've had the car 4 years and I'm familiar with the average mpg over a year. Yeah if it ain't broke ....... but like others I thought the fix would be required for future MOT emission passes, that's why I got the s/w upgrade. That and the...
  2. Anyone had their emissions "fixed"?

    I had my 2011 Seat Exeo 2.0 Sport tech manual updated last November. Immediately I noticed a lack of the usual torque in low revs, Three months on I've now noticed the fuel economy is about 10% down on what it was and there are a lot more regens being done. I'm not happy at all. I contacted my...
  3. Battery problem

    How did you fare getting the battery replaced under warranty ? Exactly the same thing happened to me, but I had to pay £96 for a new battery because I couldn't let them have the car for 3 days as was going on holiday. The say they need to test the battery and if its found to be faulty ???? They...
  4. Trip computer

    Excellent, cheers
  5. Trip computer

    My Exeo has started resetting the trip computer to zero everytime I have the ignition off for more than an hour. I've had a look in the handbook and can't find any reference to it. Come to think of it this only started happening from I go the car back from the dealer after having it checked out...
  6. tuning box ideas

    Dunno about the pro blitz, but I fitted a DTUK crd-t 2 at the weekend. It's made a huge difference to the car, seriously torquey, in fact it was too torquey, was spinning the wheels in 4th, so I dropped it back several notches. The car drives really well now, very responsive and on my 52 mile...
  7. Not off to a good start

    Yeah mine seems to be sitting steady around 43.5mpg ,mixed driving, roughly 85% motorway, and 15% short runs, not what I was expecting. Just fitted my crd-t 2 so I gotta experiment over the next few days and see what settings give me the best mix of economy and performance. I've it set on quite...
  8. DTUK CRD-T ordered!

    I realise this is an old thread, but if you're reading it, what map and settings did you finally settle on ?
  9. Not off to a good start

    And it gets worse :cry: I ordered a DTUK crd-t stage 2, which was reportedly delivered and signed for on Friday, problem is, I never received it, there was no one home Friday until the evening ! Hopefully this is the end of the bad luck !
  10. Not off to a good start

    When you say not too bad, what are you getting ? My daily commute is very similar to yours, 3.5 miles of town onto motorway for 18 miles then 4 miles of A road. So far I've been using Tesco diesel, is it better to go with a branded fuel ? I know when I had my Astra, it ran like a dog with...
  11. Not off to a good start

    This DPF stuff confuses me, I thought the economy of a diesel was the net effect of driving at lower revs ? I had a diesel Astra H 1.9 cdti a few years back and drove it at a constant 55-60 for 30 miles twice a day and it gave me 61mpg . Don't think it had a DPF tho. I'll change my driving style...
  12. 2011 Exeo

    I like the honeycomb grille, but the old type is definitely much easier to clean, so I think I'll stick with, assuming I keep the car, but thats another story :shrug:
  13. Not off to a good start

    Ive had my 2011 Seat Exeo 2 weeks now and I've had a few issues. Firstly the dealer told me the car had been fully serviced and would not need another service for a year. While I was cleaning the car I dipped the oil and it was jet black. Pulled out the air filter and removed about a half of...
  14. Picked up my sport tech 170 today

    Put a load of mp3's on an sd card today, sounds fantastic, all 192 Kbps or higher, loads of bass, really clear, the sd cards really bring out the best in the Bose stereo.
  15. Picked up my sport tech 170 today

    Not sure about moles, we don't get them in Ireland, well not the furry burrowing critters, or snakes ! What makes me feel better is the car I traded in for the Exeo, was giving me 370 miles for £112 plus £475 a year for car tax ! But what a car (Nissan 350z GT coupe), I miss it already :( But...
  16. Picked up my sport tech 170 today

    Miles ! Damned iPad autocorrect :(
  17. Picked up my sport tech 170 today

    Got my new motor this evening, only drove it home, then went or a quick 5 mile blast. Nice car, very comfortable. I was a bit underwhelmed by the stereo, but was very pleasantly surprised when I connected my iPod. It sounds way better than the radio. The interface is pants, just track numbers...
  18. Cubby hole thingy in glovebox

    I haven't got the car yet, getting it Tuesday. It's a 2011 sport tech 170, most of my music is in .flac format, converted to apple lossless on my iPod, can I play flacs on the sd slots or will it just play mp3's ?
  19. Cubby hole thingy in glovebox

    iPod dock ? How does it work ? Does the iPod lie in the cubbyhole ? It looks a rather generous fit ?
