Hi All,
I am a newbie,posted in newbie section to say hello, then posted about door locking issue. I need to thank someone but cant find the post now! (maybe I am missing something?).
Anyway, I have a 2008 Ibiza sport 1.4 in Amarillo citrus. So far happy with it but have a couple of questions/issues to raise.
1/ I have noticed some surface rust which is located on either of car where the bottom of the wing meets the floor pan, there is a recess area. I think what has happened dirt/water has accumulated in thsese areas and not been cleaned often enough and has caused rough paint/bubble spots. I was thinking of making an anti-perforation claim but I think it may be a waste of time. I am getting a quote for the paintwork, and gonna take some advice from an expert first.
Anyone have any experience of making a warranty claim?
2/ The car has a full Seat dealer history, the current mileage is 49660 and it had a cambelt/water pump changed 21/6/12 at mileage 23904 so since then the car has done some 25756 miles. I have contacted SEAT to confirm their "recommendations" on cambelt change intervals.
]So basically I am asking put aside the fact its over 5years since the belt was changed, assuming car driven carefully (4 further Seat SERVICES in book since belt changed!). Can I expect a few more miles out of this belt?before I have to think about changing it again?
I do understand parts can go anytime,the belt undergoes lots of stress etc. I was thinking to drive car till 60,000miles then get it checked or replaced?
Any pointers on the above would be welcomed, thanks for wading through the post!.
