Unfortunately, I have to buy a new car involuntarily. Until yesterday, the proud owner of an Alhambra FR-Line with integrated child seats in the 2nd row. Alhambra and Sharan as well as the Galaxy are no longer produced. Is there still an alternative as a new car on the market with retractable seats in the 3rd row. Caddy life does not have this and is no alternative anyway, which is too small. A multivan does not have that either and should not be mandatory, the is too big. The new Zafiara with 5,26m is also very big…, too big… You could get a Volvo XC90 with 7 seats, but is not a comparison to the Alhambra from the room offer… Found the Alhambra really great, actually perfect. Which vehicles could be an alternative to the Alhambra on the market at the moment. Please no suggestions for e-cars, since I also like to make Italy holidays Maybe someone also wants to separate from his vehicle. What are my wishes: A HK foldable, auxiliary heating, 7-seater, integrated child seats in the second or third row, diesel, 2 side (electric) sliding doors, Apple Carplay, Bi.Xenon or LED headlights.

Hello together, we are just on vacation in Sweden and when we came back yesterday to the parked car, we had to find that someone drove us a decent dent in the side door, see photos. Unfortunately of course with driver’s escape – and without comprehensive with us. Police we turned on of course, but more than the accident could not record of course. No witnesses, no cameras, so it goes… The white, which looks like scratches, is only dust and dirt (where I wonder what the other car must have looked like when there was so much dust!). Doesn’t there seem to be any significant scratches, just the dent. But what I’m wondering: Is this a damage that has to be directed or is it a purely optical flaw? And do you have an idea how expensive that would be, i.e. can it be de-delled or must the door be replaced?

Hello together, I have been driving an Alhambra FR with a 1.4 TSI and DSG since Sep. 2021. At the time of order of the car only the latter engineization was given. In order to be a bit more confident on the road, especially on the highway with 3 children and luggage, I play with the idea to let the engine do professionally. The engine should get about 25 hp and 50 Nm more. According to Tuner, after the performance increase Super Plus should be fuelled. The costs would be around 680 Euro Unfortunately, I could not research any reports on the tuned 1.4 TSI in the Alhambra/Sharan. I wonder if I would be aware of the above increase in performance in the heavy car at all? Does someone have and would like to share these experiences? Thank you and greeting Andrej

In the market I see little chance to bring my 2 remaining SEAT Marbella to the right man / woman for slaughter or “from 2 make 1” Therefore my attempt in this forum. Overall I own 4 Marbis: No.1) Built `90, till three years ago still driven, then wg. rusting and lack of time shut down. No.2) Built `91 already unknown time shut down. This above mentioned Marbis I would like to keep for work/slaughter. No.2) and No.3) because of lack of space favorable in In addition to me, there should be people who, first of all, do not make great demands on a car. Second, with a lot of love and enthusiasm, want to preserve the old and rare. The vehicles are located in the postal code area 95…, I am always available via PN via this forum. If you are interested in these two “boxes”, please feel free to contact us until then.

Good evening! Thank you for the opportunity to describe my request here and ask for help. Our Alhambra is from 2009. 4×4 115ps PD. Recently when the temperatures went below 0 here, a biting smoke tank has developed in the interior. For the time being, I thought it was due to the regeneration of the cat. Meanwhile, by reading a lot of things, I suspect that the additional heater causes the problem. Therefore, my questions with request for help: Why does this wind up such a gesture? k in the car and what can you do about it? I also read that a solution can be to pull fuse slot 12 to switch off the part. Thank you and LG, Martin

Hello, the following problem, or normal? When I’m on the road, I have set the rear fan to level 4, with 24°C. If I now restart the Ali, the rear fan will stay out. I always thought, if you turn on the car, the rear fan would also go with it. The front will always go with it. Or is it normal that it stays out??? greet Don

Good morning, I am in real despair. My Alhambra 7N has a cooling water loss. So far it has been done: Exchange of the lid on the balancing tank AGR Cooler Charging air cooler water pump is supposed to be dense. No external indications that something would be. Therefore excluded. But, even after the exchange of the above mentioned parts I have further cooling water loss. But have the feeling only on short distance (under 25km). Here mostly 3-5 mm in the balancing tank. At long distance (100km+) it is hö chstens 1mm. Always freshly refilled before the start and measured 24h after the ride. So cooled down. Workshop would now go on the cylinder head seal. But now my question: What is it all about the cooling circuit? I just make this “different” loss stutzig. Possibly also weather dependent. Temperature fluctuations? Has someone had something like this already? Especially on long distance he would have to consume otherwise more? Greetings Mark

Moin, now we also have to get a van, because the third child is on the way! In order to make the car a bit more handsome, we have decided on beautiful 19 inch Tomason rims, in the dimensions 8.5 j ET30. The whole with H&R springs combined in the dimensions 35 mm and 55 mm, so that driving does not seem like a truck but like a golf. The combi goes so super clean by special entry through the TÜV and also fits to the tacho tolerance like ass on buckets with the tire dimensions 235/40. To enhance the audiophile experience, we have properly insulated the front doors with aluminium butyl mats as well as acoustic insulation material, which produces an excellent result and all without new speakers!! Please leave a comment or suggestion there if this is on the heart. Greetings

Hello together, we own a 7N 2016 with MIB2.5. I would like to install an Android radio, however I ask myself the question which is really compatible. I always come back to the Dynavin D9-56 however this shows only climate information. Do you know a proper third-party radio which displays the Seat vehicle menu? Or is it not at all? Many greetings, Marcel
