Thoughts its worth noting. I've had this exact issue for about a year, replaced coil packs, MAF and a torn hose with no avail. Saturday i cleaned the throttle body and fitted new gasket. Its been working perfectly since then, actually a joy to drive!

Thanks, I've changed the coolant temp which made no difference until yesterday when i checked codes and cleared them. Two 15 mile drives since and car is running well but gauge still mis reading (or reading correctly due to thermostat stuck open/closed).

Thanks Daz, i'll look at plugs too, the car has full Seat history and one previous owner, its been looked after well. I've had it about 8 months myself.

So, this morning, car drove perfectly felt like a totally different car. Temp gauge sat at 75 most of the way, dropped to 60 when coasting and up to 90 when going up hill or in traffic.

So, cleared the codes earlier. Started the car to go home and it turned over normal then ran dog rough, tried to die so had to keep it running with the throttle for probably 10 seconds. Pulled away lumpy straight on to dual carriage way once settled at 40 seemed fine. In fact it ran perfectly...

Thanks, I've changed the coolant sensor so hopefully thats that covered. Its difficult to physically check for leaks myself and im struggling to find a garage that can smoke test it, all i can do is keep ringing around until i find someone that can. Oil level was fine two weeks ago, will check...

Thanks, and this is just called a smoke test? I'll see if my local garage does it. I'll unplug the maf and drive home tonight from work to see what its like, about 15miles

Ok thanks, i've cleared the codes now so will be interesting to see if the MAF one does come back. Would the car operate different if the problem was fixed but the code not cleared? or does it not work like that.

Ok so ive received my code reader and the following codes have come up: 17704 P1296 Cooling system malfunction 16486 P0102 Mass or Volume Air Flow Circ Low Input This was with the ignition on but without engine running which i imagine is the correct way to check for codes? So would that...

Slightly off topic but I've also read about electric folding mirrors, is that an option? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks Traumapat, can any typical garage perform a smoke test or is it a specialist service?

Thanks for your reply. I didnt realise they were commonly available. This looks to be the correct scanner? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SEAT-Alhambra-Ibiza-Altea-Leon-cordoba-Fault-Code-diagnostic-Reader-Scanner-UK-/320945082433?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4ab9d15041

So, Thought i would start a new thread on this as adding to originals doesnt seem to be sparking many minds that im sure have had this problem before. I've searched the forum alot over the past two months to find a solution and it seems many people have had similar problems but no-one...

http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=406919&page=2 Check my last post. Make sure the engine completely cold otherwise the coolant will be under pressure and will leak like a *******. Otherwise its easy peasy, pull C clip out, pull sender out of hosing, remove sensor from loom, fit...
