  • Differences Seat Leon vs Seat Leon Kombi

    Good afternoon friends/professionals! I would like to ask you about the differences between the Seat Leon Style 5F (my) and the Seat Leon ST/Kombi. Since I want to buy a bigger car > 2. Child + bigger trunk. I have now written the technical data together. Mine: L: 4282 // B: 1816 – 1975 // H: 1459 // Turning circle: 10,3m // GR: 380 – 1210 l Combi: L: 4549 // B: 1816 – 1975 // H: 1454 // Turning circle: 10,3m // GR: 587 – 1470 l Is however for example on de r Back seat with the combo more space? e.g. legroom and seat width etc … I’ve also looked at other Kombi’s / Suv’s / Van’s …. but I’m actually very happy with the Fzg (+ think it’s optically great). Thank you. VG

  • Dension Gateway Pro in Ibiza 6J SE250 factory radio

    Hello. I have discovered the above adapter. On the manufacturer’s side my factory radio is specified as compatible. Only there is still a note that I don’t quite understand. Can someone enlighten me? “Steering wheel controls and MFA High Line cluster is required for phone. “So my 6J is from 2010 has no bluetooth and media-in factory installed. But I have this steering wheel remote control. On the radio I have one for CD-changers and Telefónica with the large connection (Quad-Lock?!) On the radio, however, this is not to be seen. (must be unlocked?) The steering wheel remote control is one without the telephone control.

  • Dashboard reflects extremely in windshield

    Hello everyone my wife drives from the store a Seat Ibiza, year 2011, 5-door. The car has so many flaws (e.g. assistance stops just stubbornly 3 seconds, even if you want to leave … … but one is quite bad, namely the extreme reflections of the dashboard in the windshield. Even the black parts blind, let alone the silver part on the dashboard. Quite extremely bad is it e.g. with current sun noon, sun from front and egg This is an absolute blind flight and extremely dangerous and ridiculous. On the one hand, I wanted to ask you whether this is a well-known problem and on the other, how can we remedy it? Thank you for your help! vg louis

  • Alcantara really isn’t available because of fire or is there something else behind it?

    Since the middle of January, the Alcantara package is no longer available for Ibiza and Arona. This was already strange, since the model was only on the market for a few months at that time. Why is an option taken from the market after a few months? Only today, a SEAT seller justified this fact with a “brand” at a supplier. I mean to have read this already in other articles. On my question, which plant would have burned, he could not have As has already been seen in many questions, car sellers are the very last to pass on information to customers (whether aware or because they don’t know better, I can’t judge). I refer here only to the exhaust emission standards valid from 1 September, which were completely unknown to almost all sellers in January 2018, even it was negated that there would be changes. Alcantara will only be by one manufacturer according to my information. There are no reports at all at google “Alcantara”, “Werk” and “Brand”. This is strange in that at least some newspapers would have to report on it at such a dramatic event. Perhaps someone with Italian knowledge can google and share his results here. Otherwise, I think there are quite different reasons for stopping the Alcantara seats: 1. Possibility: The supplier has had higher price demands, which the VW Group did not want to accept, so it was taken out of the program. 2. Possibility: The Alcantara seats look too high-quality, so that the distance to VW and Audi is no longer maintained. The VW Group has forced Seat to remove the seats from the program. I am looking forward to opinions on these these theses.

  • Seat Cordoba 6K2 draws battery empty

    The Seat Cordoba (now the 6th owner) should not be left standing anywhere for more than 5 days, otherwise the battery is completely empty. Every day I have to drive a few km with it, maybe even just switch on/off once, I have not yet tested. All consumptions are locked off test by test, rest current always around the 10-20 mA. Nevertheless, the battery does not last. Until I decided to drive with the car regularly the ADAC had to give 4 times starting aid. R The voltage when the motor is switched on in the empty run is exactly 14.3 volts. The current at the plus pole by means of current pliers measured at only 0.6 amperes. Then you still wonder why you get the feeling that the battery is not being charged properly. The battery was also changed at the beginning of spring. Didn’t help much. So that I don’t have a new battery or a new one now. I would first like to know what the reason could be for the low current of 0,6 A in idle mode. I don’t want to do research anymore, so I ask, for example, how to test cables on resistors. This is also unnecessary again. The voltage is constant at 14,3 V. Rest current very low. Even if everything is disconnected, the battery discharges. It is interesting to disconnect the battery after switching off the motor. The battery lasts for a long time. slow there are only contradictions. Maybe there is still a current hole. Maybe the battery is broken? I am primarily interested in the low current.

  • Seat Ibiza Xcellence EcoTSI 115 hp – first car (new car)?

    Hello guys, I’m new here in the forum and I need your advice or your opinion. Soon my driver’s license test is on the agenda and of course I have been thinking about a mobile kit for some time. Of course I have already talked to my parents about this topic but there are unfortunately big differences of opinion. My father absolutely wants to give me a new Suzuki Swift All Grip with 90 HP. Unfortunately, I don’t really have a say in the car election. t, because the funding has to run through it because I am in training and would not get approved. Now I have looked around and came across the Seat Ibiza Xcellence EcoTSI with 115 hp which I not only like much better but is also not exactly more expensive than the Swift with the configuration I had created. My parents are strictly against cars that have more than 90 hp (all about this is their opinion too much) but I do not know how to use it. I don’t think it’s really good arguments (especially since it’s only a difference of 25 hp).The questions that I’m now asking are the following: – Would I ever be happy with a new car as a beginner (many say I shouldn’t do it because of the accident risk etc.)? – What is the financing rate and down payment for the Seat Ibiza Xcellence EcoTSI with 115hp and how much Eur o do I have to calculate about with the insurance? I would like to thank you in advance for your answers, LG!

  • Automatic mounting/unfolding of mirrors

    Hello dear forum community. My friend has the problem with her 1.0 TSI Xcellence, that the mirrors only fold out according to the mood. Sometimes when opening the doors via Kessy, sometimes at engine start, sometimes not at all and only after a few games on the adjusting button. A real “system” when they do it or when they don’t can’t be recognized at all. She already suspected that it could have something to do with the safety belt, but there is also no resistance to it. Just do what they want. Or don’t do anything either. Maybe one of you has already observed this phenomenon? Is there possibly something wrong with any coding? From the settings in the vehicle configuration everything would have to fit so far… For tips I would be very grateful to you, otherwise probably only the ride to the friendly one will remain.

  • Coupling 1.0 TSI 95 hp

    Hi, I should have picked up my new Ibiza Style 1.0 TSI with 95 hp yesterday. Unfortunately, the winter tyres ordered had not been delivered, so that I got a rental car. It is a SEAT MII with 1.0 TSI and 75 hp. I have to admit honestly that I ordered Ibiza without ever seeing or driving it. When I drove the rental car yesterday (which is almost new by the way) I noticed that the clutch likes to be in stop & go traffic, or at I still have an old Totoya Aygo with 3 cylinders, where the clutch was also a big flaw. (And no, it’s not up to me, I can drive a car :-)) Now to my question: Has one of you already had abnormalities with the clutch? To share a long-term experience, I probably still new the car, but I would definitely like to know if this is also a flaw at SEAT. Thanks already for the Antwo Greetings to Serhat

  • Noise while cornering

    Hello, my vehicle has been making noises for some time when I’m driving a left or right turn. If I’m driving straight ahead, there’s also something to hear, but not in this intensity. Under the following link, I uploaded a video on which you can hear this sound (from second 19).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jx0dHawkmpk&feature=youtu.be Do you have any idea what that can be? Thanks in advance! LG

  • EPC and engine control lamps

    Hello! Also I drive the Seat Ibiza 1.4 year 2002 (Special Edition Freeze) with 75 hp without ABS. I have read here already a lot about similar problems, however it can hardly be due to the weather. I drove yesterday in nice weather just under 360 kilometers, not too fast and the air conditioning ran almost continuously. Just before the finish began to shine at once the EPC lamp and I had the feeling as if my accelerator would “fall” a bit backwards. B In the next start the engine control light was added and both of them haven’t gone out since then. I didn’t notice a big change when driving. Only sometimes it feels like a tire is braking for a short time and the car breaks out slightly sideways. However, I can’t say if this has something to do with the lights. My workshop said that it could only be due to a defective brake light, but it is not even broken. Allerd I don’t understand why the engine control light shows an error message. Maybe someone had a similar problem here and can help me.
