Maybe the Seat stealers have read your comments on here.... Maybe check your glove box for 'presents'
Cupra 280 DSG Gearbox warning message
- Thread starter mc-obesity
- Start date
They can't have left me anything in there, as the car hasn't been in a dealer yet! I'm giving up on the notion of getting it fixed now and unless it specifically states I have to get it serviced at a main dealer in the paperwork I'll be getting it that done elsewhere, too.

You can get it serviced at any VAT registered garage, and as long as they use Vag parts etc, your warranty will still apply. Warranty repairs will have to be done at a SEAT dealer though.
Can you post this up please mate? I have a chassis number for my new car and wondered if it was affected?
Cheers.
So my chassis number is VSS___5F_FR055***
As it's an FR and not an ER as you have detailed on the PDF does this mean it's not affected or is it just the last 6 numbers that identify it??? In which case it does fall within the numbers affected??
Anyone know for certain?

Mine must be ok as I have VSS____5F_FR007*** so don't have the ER and the last 6 digits are not in the range either.
Would think the FR means your motor is ok too.

Yes, me. When accelerating hard my car sometimes refuses to change up a gear, leaving me bouncing off the limiter. Had the airbag light on all the way to work the other night, too.
I suppose I should be grateful that it works most of the time, though, I suppose, as no one has been able to mend it yet!

Bloody hell, you don't have much luck mate!!
Did the airbag light clear? I'm guessing like most things electric, an o-f-f - o-n reset normally does the trick!

Have you been to the service with that issue?
The airbag light did clear, yes. And no, I haven't had the gearbox fixed. It only happens occasionally and the thought of a SEAT grease monkey ranting my car up and down a dual carriageway all day trying to replicate it is what puts me off getting it done! I'm just gonna live with it, I think...
