If anyone else has this light cluster
problem... absolutely do not go to Evans Halshaw in Harrogate to sort it.
Long story short, mine was just out of warranty and seeing as nearly every other car has the same
problem with the rear lights I called Seat UK direct and asked if I could get it looked at one of their dealers and see if we could work towards a solution, as SEAT actually confirmed that it’s a manufacturing over tightening issue and their dealer network has been informed this I hoped we could arrange something.
Basically EH told me that because the light unit had been out (I needed to dry it out to get it working again) that it was not covered even if it was under warranty. Seat customer care then told me to take the issue up with the ombudsman as they wouldn’t do anything about it. Totally washed their hands of the issue as it’s out of warranty, Seat uk actually took the advice of the garage over the fact that hundreds of their cars have the issue and that there was a 17 plate SC model with the same
problem on both sides parked on Evans Halshaw forecourt for sale !
Currently building the case for the ombudsman, kinda want to see it through before buying a pair of rear clusters, this will teach me for not getting it sorted during warranty.
