Welcome to SCN, yes a very nice motor and in a different colour from the norm, enjoy.

Sadly I have some issues with it, mainly misaligned steering wheel. Dealer moved it on the splines last week but now have the same problem but opposite offset. Also found front tyres are different makes which may not help steering not sure, but disappointed that as a Seat Approved car this wasn’t picked up. I would never mix treads and makes on the driven axle, to be honest wouldn’t do it on the non driven either. Braking characteristics will be different for sure as the newest tyre is a mid range Davanti, the other a Goodyear. Love the car generally they just need to sort this out. I’ve asked main dealer for new tyres on the front and the tracking/steering wheel to be sorted. Waiting on them to reply.

Sounds like the steering geometry needs adjusted, not just replacing the steering wheel. A decent dealer should know to put the steering wheel to the correct alignment, lock it in that position and then adjust the geometry down at the wheels.

Welcome along to the forum.

Hope you get the issues sorted quickly.

Currently the dealer is being totally non communicative. Multiple emails this week and a phone call to them this morning and no response at all. I have till tomorrow to decide to keep the car or engage the Seat Approved 30 day no quibble exchange. I'm going to the dealer later with V5 and keys and see what they say.

One of those pesky chain dealers one expects. Jobs worth staff.

Dealer redeemed themselves after I confronted them. Happy outcome for me in the end. They were very apologetic.
