Excellent!!

 

[Trapper]

I'll wait for the call then.

 

[hon_n_gem]

yeah i think all of us are waiting! lol

 

[Igor23]

Funny thing, I called my dealer to log the fault, and they claim that there's no mention of a problem, let alone a fix on the Seat technical website....
So I think it'll be a long,long wait.....

So, at least Nidd Vale can get something right then eh???

Alright Chris!!

No mate, I appear to of been lucky and not (so far) had this problem. On the whole the car is superb.

But, Nidd Vale's service that I have received so far leave's alot to be desired, and I haven't had to experience the aftersales yet, my trouble's are still in the hand's of the salesman.

Another story. And don't want to go off topic.

Someone else on these boards got their WW fixed by Nidd Vale (not me)

OK so my FR has made me out to be a liar.

After all this rain the windows DO get wet on the inside, when they come back up.

Looks like I will have to join the queue at Nidd Vale. Also developed a lovely rattle as well.

My dealer at Galgate near Lancaster will be putting the fix on my car next Tuesday when it is in for its 10K service. (which SEAT are paying for due to all the hassle and the 11 month wait!).
Will post the results after that.

I need to drop an e-mail to my dealer I think.

How do you find the ride quality on the FR with 18 wheels. I am considering getting a DSG petrol FR. Was in seeing David and Fred on Saturday.

Hi Polkr, I have 18's on and don't think the ride is that much harsher than that with one running on 17's.

When I took delivery of my car I had to return it and was given an FR with 17's, I noticed a little difference but certainly not enough not to buy the 18's. Besides the 18's look so much nicer IMO.

r30lac,

Thanks for that info.

I have a Leon Tdi Sport on 17's.

I find that quite harsh and wouldn't want any new car to be even harsher.

One guy on here had a sport and swapped it for an FR with 18's and found the FR to be smoother.

Agree with you that the 18's look miles better however it makes the discs look small again!!

 

[CupraDaft]

POLKR,

sent you a PM earlier, not sure if you saw it, so as to keep the thread on topic!

 

[r30lac]

I would have thought the ride would be harder anyway on the FR?

 

[TXOSBI]

All, can we please keep this thread for 'wet windows', after 11 months I may get this fixed next week.

Thanks.

Well, just been to the dealers, who after much prevaracation, admitted that there is a problem, but insist that there's no official fix from Seat technical, so "will have a look at the seals, but if we have to strip the doors, we're not sure that warranty will pay us for the labour (2hrs)."
To say that I'm less than impressed is an understatment, is there a web link to the official fix??? I just wish that some of the dealers would read this forum, they might get a clue as to why their service department is unaware of any issues with their products...

 

[CupraDaft]

Not good at all.
