Brake fluid leval is fine :D

Brakes seem to work ok, but the abs is'nt, and it seems like traction control is on all the time as i cant spin the wheels however hard i try, even in 1st in the rain

and the engine is running fine, not rough at all

mmm... even with traction control on you can spin a bit, just not much...

but it does sound like ABS to me. given its not working...
also if the ABS aint working id expect the traction control may not work too as i think it uses ABS sensor information?

get it back to garage asap.

ive got a very similar problem at the moment. traction control wont work/switch but abs does. maf is on order from dealer under warranty. the only difference is mine has the cel and tcs lights on, not flashing tho.

Well i heard back yesterday that Seat have decided the the ECU is the fault, and it needs to be replaced, however there on back order, and i wont have the car back for 6-8 weeks, needless to say i've demanded a refund, and been and bought a clio 172 :D :D

So a VERY brief cupra ownership, and i wont be looking at another VAG car in the near future atleast :censored:

I would have waited the 6-8 weeks.

No way i was waiting 6-8 weeks, when they wont provide a courtesy car because im not 21, and i need the car daily for work etc etc

plus when i saw this i had to buy it :drool:

Well hope not to scare you, but it turned out my Leon had a fried/faultly ECU, which was EXPENSIVE for the garage to fix
