Hello,
I am new to the forum so please be gentle. I have recently bought a 2012 Seat Ibiza (6J) 1.6 TDI Sportrider with 90k miles from a local dealer. I have a couple of questions please...
1. Heat - The car has been fitted with a new turbo after some issues with it before purchase. Went on a motorway drive to the supermarket yesterday which was about 1hr round trip so plenty of time for the car to get warm. When i arrived home, i opened the bonnet to have a look and the sheer temperature inside there was immense. It was coming from the bulkhead where I'm guessing the DPF was regenerating?..would this cause the heat and there's nothing to worry about?
2. Keys - I have only one key with the car which is the 3-button flip key. I wanted to get a spare but only to operate the doors, are they called a blade key? Whats the best way of going about getting one of these and how much should i expect to pay please?
3. Tapping - During acceleration i can hear a light tapping sound which isnt present when the foot is off the acc pedal, is this just tappets that can be adjusted?
I think that will do for now. There's nothing much else and the I love the car, just want to make sure that i can enjoy it and not worry about the things above
Thank you again for your help and stay safe
