Hi, how did you get on with this? My dreaded ESP light has come up and I have the 01435 code.

Hello all, I have had the dreaded ESP light come up today. I have done a check via Carista and it through up the 01435/G201 code. I have obviously seen how costly it is to replace. Please someone tell me that SEAT UK are still doing free repairs? My local SEAT dealer is Snows, Portsmouth.

Thanks everyone for the advice. In addition - i have a standard, ever so boring 1.9TDi with 253mm discs on the back. Once I've undone the Torx screw on the hub, would the disc be small enough to come off the hub without having to unbolt the caliper carrier???? Thanks!

Hello all, I'm going to be replacing the rear pads and discs in the next couple of days. Can anyone suggest the best, strongest places to jack it up and place the axle stands - i will be using a trolley jack for the lifting. Any photos/simple instructions will be good! Thanks, Mat

Hello all, So my 1.9 TDi 105bhp has been jolting when starting, rough on idle and lumpy upon acceleration (particularly around 40-60), as well as having a disappointingly low (but not out of this world) MPG. Does this sound like anything relating to the MAP or MAF sensors or could it be...

Hello everyone, I'm looking to do all the pads and discs on my 2008 1.9 TDi. However, i'm keen to purchase the right pads - i'm presented with options of Lucas, Teves, etc. How do I identify which braking system applies on the front and rear? Thanks in advance!!!

Evening everyone I have a mk2 Leon and an Altea, both of which suffer the dreaded interior condensation issues. I read of a trick with Butyl tape involving removing the doorcards, etc, etc. Firstly, can anyone point me in the direction of a 'How To' guide (preferably with photos)...

Hello all, is there anyone here able to do VCDS in the Portsmouth/Fareham/Gosport area? I'm particularly interested in adjusting the steering feel on my mk2 2008 1.9TDi.

To rich07, it is very whoom whoom

Interesting, the car usually rides around with a bit of biased weight in it so that might be it. I guess i'll have to take the car in to check re the lumpy acceleration in 5th.

Hello all, i have a 2007 Altea 1.9TDi with 60000 miles. At town speeds, the car runs well, with a nice feeling gearchange and good pickup at low speeds. At 50mph plus though, things change. On the motorway/dual carriageway, there is a sound from the engine which, although not that loud, sounds...

We already have an Altea TDi, but now i've treated myself to a Leon TDi. However, i was looking to improve the back end of the Leon by buying this: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=281480639233 What does everyone think? Any experience with these cheap mods? Thanks!

Hi everyone, i have a 2006 Altea 1.9 TDi 105. I'm going to get it serviced soon by our local, trustworthy garage, but what can i do myself to cut costs down? I understand changing the air filter is simple, but if anyone can think of other stuff, let me know. Also, does anyone have issues with...

Thanks everyone. I presume by 'cabin filter' that you mean the pollen filter. I just assumed that this had been changed over at the last service, but probably not. Thanks a lot Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello all, This relates to my Altea, but I suspect it may be an issue which dogs the Leon too, so I am looking for some advice. Every time I am going to the driveway at the moment, I find the windscreen to be fogged up, no matter what time of day. This seems to be exclusively happening to...

Hello all, Every time I am going to the driveway at the moment, I find the windscreen to be fogged up, no matter what time of day. This seems to be exclusively happening to the windscreen. What are the possible problems? We don't use the air con too much. I cannot find any moisture in the...

Hello all, I have a 2006 1.9TDi Sport with 55,000 miles on it. I have a suspicion that the clutch might be on its way out, due to a very small bit of juddering on moving off and that clutchy smell following a city drive. How much does this typically cost and can anyone recommend any decent...

I have a 1.9TDi Sport. I have experience of the 2.0 with the 6 speed and am a bigger fan of the 1.9. Although it is noisy, it is very strong and torquey. The gear ratios are also better, meaning less changes through the gearbox. I'm sure someone has already mentioned the DPF issue with the...

September is time for me to get the Altea 1.9TDi Sport (53000m) serviced and MOT'd. This is my first Seat and it's going to be in the family for years to come. Shall I get it serviced at Snows Seat (Portsmouth) or go with a seemingly reputable VAG specialist? I'm just looking for...

Afternoon all, ***WARNING - SILLY QUESTION TIME!!!!!*** How do you use the spare key on the Altea? The one time I tried to use the spare key (when the wife was out in possession of the remote one), the car unlocked, but the alarm went off, so I shut it and it somehow switched off...
