  • Wheel rims: Alutec Ikenu 17″

    Hello everybody, I am proud owner of a new Seat Aronas. Now the winter is coming soon and I would like to let winter tires on with the series rims and buy also immediately new summer rims to use my current tires further. Unfortunately I have only some idea about the matter and the Seat dealer refers only to the ABE (http://www.alutec.de/…/class.fileaway_downloader.php?…). In short I would like the Alutec ikenu (graphit-frontpolished) with 205/55 In the ABE I find my Arona with the direct identifier. Only there is the A01 as a condition: “After the implementation of the technical amendment, the vehicle is immediately an officially recognized expert or examiner for motor vehicle traffic or a test engineer of a monitoring organisation according to point 4 of Appendix VIIIb to the StVZO for the implementation and confirmation of the ABE Does this mean that I have to pass by the TÜV/Dekra? Can the Seat dealer also do that? Or can’t the combination at all? Thank you in advance, TheTick

  • Tyre size 205/55 R16 91H suitable?

    Hello to each other, maybe one of you can help me. Of our old vehicle we still have winter tyres in size 205/55 R16 91H. We would like to use these with our new Arona 1.0 FR 85 kW, built in 2019. According to the configurator of a.t.u, this is possible in combination with the steel rim ALCAR 6955. According to the configurator on the website of ALCAR, the combination should also fit. However, the configurator of our workshop shows this nic However, 205/55 R16 is not listed in the CoC paper – not in conjunction with 91H and not otherwise. However, the report indicates 205/55 R16. Perhaps not all configurators and us are up to date and the information in our CoC paper is already outdated. Would I be glad if someone could help.

  • Extension headrests front

    Hello, how can you remove the front headrests to install a car coat hanger with holes for the supports? There is nothing to do with this in the operating instructions.

  • When do the gasoline direct injection engines receive the particulate filter?

    can someone give me information about when the 1.0 115hp direct injection petrol engine will meet the exhaust gas standard as of September 2018? Often it is claimed that a particulate filter is required for this. Is that true? The Seat dealer is no help at all. He just thinks that he has no information available. I don’t want to believe that, because Seat will know very well – whether the 115 hp 1.0l engine needs a particulate filter to meet Euro 6c (currently it meets Euro 6c). According to ADAC only Euro 6b) -from when exactly this is installed or from when Euro 6c is fulfilled. Especially if a particle filter is needed, the preparations must already run at full speed, since they have to be produced at the supplier first. I am quite stinky that the Seat dealer pretends that no one in the world can answer these questions. Please for help here. Thank you

  • Crack in the engine block

    We recently decided on a Seat Arona Xcellence package, 1.6l, 95 hp, DSG, built in 6/2019, diesel, 70,800 km. Last Monday he was registered and gladly picked up at the dealer’s. We drove about 50 km home. In the evening I drove again a lap and also a piece on the highway. At the motorway exit then came the disillusionment, started in the lower speed range to Ruckeln and became unpleasantly loud as if he would not burn cleanly. and then came home well and immediately wrote an e-mail to my dealer. Tuesday morning came the call back and one suspects a loose injector (inspection, oil change and TÜV were new!). Car was picked up and a rental car was placed. Wednesday morning came the call, which would probably take longer. The engine block had a crack and it would be ordered a new engine. Since it would be available he would come this week. The installation is probably a bit time-intensive According to ErWin, the Arona has only been moved a few kilometers for almost a year. What do you think of it, the cause can be the long service life or there are problems with the engines in general. Had a Skoda Rapid 1.4 TDI DSG before and it was always very reliable as a 3 cylinder. Greetings from Regensburg wool

  • Navi and no end

    Good morning , In addition to the here already described “problems ” with the Navi I would like to attach here also again the following problem which I can not explain to me .. ( Arona , Built 2022 ) My daily way to work drove over city , BAB , federal road (well developed) Now the federal road is for at least 6 weeks fully closed! In the first week no report of the blocking in the Navi , standard route was proposed . Second week to today , sporadic display of the blocking , tägli A second possible redirection does not come at all via the Navi (more federal road, but even better developed than the standard route ) All systems are paid 🙂 and online is up to date. The “learning function ” of the Navi is activated. What can this be on ? Mfg Mathias

  • Towing coupling “ball head”

    Hello all, could it be that the “ball heads” (I don’t know the compartment expression) have different diameters? The clamping lever of my ATERA bike carrier went on the trailer coupling at our AtECA to clamp down to the stop. At the present ARONA, the clamping handle can only be pressed down half way. The bicycle carrier is sitting properly on the clutch, the safety marking is good to see. Does anyone have an explanation?

  • Seat Connect after the expiry of the free time “lose”

    moin, moin, the other day I got a message that my SEAT Connect subscription to the 25.01.2024 expires. Since I didn’t want to use the service any more anyway, I don’t see any added value for me and my movement-u. I don’t have to squander other data live, that’s no problem for me either. I would like to delete the account immediately and also the main user. But what happens after I have deleted the main user. Then I have to re-use the whole radio again. What benefit would a main user have without a SEAT Connect account? Who has done this and can report it? PS: the “advantages” of the Seat do not interest me, I don’t use the internal navigation either. I only signed up because I thought it was necessary to get a system update. That also worked and so far I used the infotainment auc h no longer had any problems. Thank you!

  • Voluntarily oil change after 1 year without BC request.

    My cars always got oil every year… No matter what the BC or the inspection magazine said. How does the Arona react, if I at ATU after 1 year only the oil change against new 0W20 crossover oil and that to the car not at all, say without Vcd’s entry into the electronic maintenance directory. So simply : Aktol away, new oil and filter on it, finished. (is this possible without Vcd’s intervention at all??) Theoretically, the car BC recognizes yes… “Oh I have new oil… Now I give it another 30,000k m…” Or how or what?… And : How do VW workshops react when they arrive after 30,000Km for inspection, but the first oil change has voluntarily done elsewhere after one year according to factory specifications (FOR the time indicated by the BC)?. Is there any experience?

  • Seats to expand rear bench to improve.

    If someone knows a page or video in which is described how to upgrade car receptacles etc. I would like to be able to straighten the seat or backrest when I transport things in the trunk. I have seen other cars there are adapters for this, at the arona unfortunately not. In addition I think about how I could fold the backrest of the middle seat individually. All these functions can be the golf sportSvan from home. Unfortunately, the electric handbrake was e im sportSvan a no-go for me and also the SV was somehow too wide and hardly made me fun while riding. The arona with its 20cm shorter length and the higher seat position was then much more interesting. The arona with the back bench of the sportSvan would be a dream. I would like to be able to put ski, snowboard or surfboard through in the middle. Actually, you only have to saw through the third seat and then make a system so that it can not fold back. Any ideas?
