So is this the same for the vw scirroco 2.0 gt tdi 170 bhp?this issue effects FRs and any other vehicle with the 170pd tdi engine due to how the ecu works. it does not effect the 2.0 pd tdi 140 or the 1.9 pd tdis - they'll still run with a faulty injector.
the faulty injector spikes the ecu and shuts the fuelling - this also throws up a main power relay fault.
it effects vehicle built around 6/2006 to 6/2007 but that doesnt exclude any others from the fault.
seat technical or VW uk wont issue technical bullitens on the fault because:
a. they know little about the cause
b. are not willing to recognise it as a commmon problem
seat uk are pretty useless with any major issues like this, it has no real giveaway signs and can just occur out of the blue, as most of you guys have found.
please feel free to ask me anything about the issue as i've dealt with a few.

Hi,
I'm not sure if anyone follows this thread anymore but my 2006 Seat Leon 2.0 Fr Tdi cut out on a busy road just before christmas,luckily there was a side turning ahead I could pull into.The breakdown man came and did a diagnostics test and it was pointing to low voltage in one of the injectors.Looking online I found this thread so I contacted Seat customer care who even though I explained it was not a proper recall they just kept saying sorry there's no recall on your car and told me to try my local Seat service centre who might know more but I basically got the same response and they said if I book it in we will charge you £168 to check the fault with the car and then find out if Seat would pay for it.I said no thanks I would rather know before I shell out £168.
So I'm sure mine is an affected car,I've owned from 2016,one previous owner that I think would have said if the injectors had been done.
The cars only done 85000 miles due to being furloughed during covid and was always looked after but is now basically scrap.
So do you think its to late now to get free replacement injectors, it would probably help if I could speak to someone at Seat/Vw that remembered the problem.
Check with Seat UK or a dealer if service campaign 23J6 "Piezo pump injector elements" is still open and if so whether your car is eligible. If your car has been in previously for this there would have been a sticker with the 23J6 code added to the boot floor under the carpet.
There's a good chance it is not open anymore though. There comes a point where it cannot be realistically argued that parts have failed prematurely. Regardless of mileage, at ~17 years old I think your car could well fall into that category.
Best of luck trying to get this sorted though
