Hello together, is there a trick at Arona to adjust the brightness of the instrument lighting? My dealer is overwhelmed and doesn’t know what to do. We found the entry in the menu / setup, but as soon as you want to set a value that is 100% different, only the message “Function not available”. Do you have to activate something somewhere before? Thanks for tips! Menu: “Car”=>”Setup”=>”Light”=>”Interior lighting”

Hello , for 2 years I wonder what this ominous learning function of the Navi should be or what it does … Either you have the one in my forget or it’s too bl——- I take it with humor that it doesn’t strap the daily plug to “learn” or whatever it is supposed to do there .. The track is the really optimal , it doesn’t get on the line … wants to turn tens of times over a happiness -on barrier and such jokes more … Does anyone else have that ? mfg Mathias

In my Seat Arona (from 2018) there are two SD card storage bays in the glove compartment (“SD1” and “SD2”). Are these absolutely equivalent? In particular, I would like to know if it doesn’t matter which slot the SD card with the Navi data is in. Can anyone tell me anything about it? Thank you!

Hello municipality, some time ago I noticed that my Arona makes a rattling, rattling noise when switching from the first gear to the second gear. It is sometimes louder and sometimes quieter when you are domed. Also when switching into the third gear you can hear it, depending on the speed. But what causes me a headache, when I drive on cobblestone pavements, everything is OK with inserted gear. But now I noticed that if I hit the cobbler on cobblestones the clutch If I let go of the clutch and have no gear in it, the rattle will remain. Only with the passage in place is rest in the box :-(. The car has 4500km down since January and I can say that the Arona is driving quite reasonably. If I think that we want to go on holiday with the car, I somehow don’t have a good feeling about it. Tomorrow I will ask the dealer for an audience again, I’m curious what is being told to me. “That’s normal” I’m not going to get involved. Does anyone here have such a problem with their Arona? Greetings

Hello together, I just picked up my Seat Arona 1.0, 110 ps from 2021 yesterday and had the problem so far 3x that I could not insert a single gear anymore. First switching into the idle and foot of the clutch have brought improvement. Can someone tell me what that is? I’m a bit desperate.

Moin together, I was looking for a successor for my wife’s polo to come across the Seat Arona. Yesterday we made a test drive with a style from 2021 with the 1.0 liter and 95 hp engine and hand-operated. We like the car very much and we would like to buy it. But, now I noticed with warm engine and light rolling away (about 50km, 3-4 gear) a jerking. Also, it is difficult to give in the traffic flow a bit gas without having a relatively strong ruck g ibt. I pointed out to the seller. Unfortunately, he only shrugged with his shoulders. Is it possible to eliminate it by Seat by software update? Or is it what it is like, and with that one would have to live? Thank you in advance for information and opinions. Greeting Rüdiger

Arona 1.0 TSI 115 PS The usual maintenance work was carried out, so far so good. But the prices seem to me a bit exaggerated. Pollen filter = 57,20 €, installation and installation = 12,80 €, plus VAT, together 83,30 € gross. Oil 0W20 23,61 €/ltr. I accept, as well as the usual invoice filling small collar for approx. 25,– €. As “additional work” stands spark plug change on the invoice. Per candle are calculated 35,19 €. In addition 76,80 € for 3 spark plugs change. He changes candles 182,37 €, in addition comes the VAT. Makes then brutto 207,02 €. That seems rather happy to me. I am glad that I don’t have a 12-cylinder. Which candles are the right ones here? In the net I find e.g. BOSCH Double Platinum for approx. 11,50 €. As a classic car screwdriver I certainly don’t need an entire hour to change 3 candles on this engine. These are works that I do myself after the expiry of the warranty period.

Hello dear people, might someone have a maintenance plan for the Arona. I know about oil changes, but what about spark plugs, air and pollen filters, gasoline filters timing belts? Or other additional things. Would you be very grateful for information.

Hello together, I have been having a problem with the Android Auto/Full link of my Seat Arona from 2021 for a few weeks, which often, but not always occurs. It doesn’t matter which phone you use, happens with my partner as well as with me. 1. Problem cable is connected, connection runs and breaks off at some point. Sometimes you can connect it new, sometimes not. Important to know, mobile phone is charged continuously and it also doesn’t matter which of the two buxen you ni mmt. 2. Problem cable is connected, connection is running and then the whole screen including the whole onboard computer goes off. So everything that is controlled via the touch screen and then restarts. 3. Problem cable is connected and it finds no connection at all Had someone ever had such a problem and a possible solution? ICh already tried everything in my power, different cables, different mobile phones, restart, new add, etc… I currently still have used cars guarantee but the dealer is a bit far away, so I would like to settle it without the way there. Best regards and nice holidays Nina

Hello together, we just have two (almost) identical SEAT Arona in mind. The difference is that one vehicle has a trailer coupling and 1 year old is with 9.700 km. The other is a day registration with 30 km but without AHK. (6 months old) Price and all other extras are identical. We actually need a trailer coupling again and again, but have one on our camper, which we currently also use. (Mal for a trailer or bicycle carrier) that could be na more skillful would be sometimes a smaller vehicle or if you would want to transport the wheels here in the area. (But that would of course also go with the RV.) What would you decide to do?
