Yea its about my car that is goin in 2moro for warranty work ..... want 2 know exactly what they will be doing
why not just post the question?
You don't need to work for SEAT to know what they'll do... but a fair few people that work at dealerships also post
Right ....
Called seat about my fueling problems and my heater control fault ( see previous posts )
They say it needs a new ECU update and a heater control panel
Im dropping my car off @ 8.00am 2moro morning and picking it back up @ 2.00 pm .... i think they are just stringing me along about the whole ECU update just wondered if any techz in here would know any better or any1 else know any better
Cheers

Yep it sounds like it could be possible. I work for BMW and we do this sort of stuff all the time.
Can I ask why you think you being strung along??
I just have a thing about people not trusting garages.

I work for a garage also .... ( ford, mazda & MG/Rover ) ... i just know what my receptionists are like ... anytime i called up seat and asked 2 talk with a tech about my faults the receptionist just humoured me and said they were not avaliable etc etc and they tried tellin me how an ECU update is done even tho i do them on a daily basis on MGz & Mazdas
Na i dont think so they told me that the tech would need to remove the ECU to update it ! lol ....
ahhh that does sound a bit strange!
I dont know the ins and outs of the VAG stuff but we don't have to do that at our place! I'm assuming you wouldn't have to at your place?

I wouldnt take people's distrust personally, there are plenty of garages out there who rip people off and its human instinct to be cautious and untrusting. It gives good mechanics and garages a good name.
For instance, the clutch went on my missus car last week and she rang a few garages to get a quote and find out when they could book it in. Nationwide auto centres quoted £450 quid and said they would need the car for two days (this is a 1.4 petrol pug 206), was eventually done for 250 by my local auto centre the next day and very helpful and friendly they were too.
Na just the same as every other car i use the diagnostic plug .... even when on non franchise cars .... use a machine called the launch and reflex .... so just wanted 2 hear it straight from a tech if an update would fix the faults and 2 ease my mind that ma car wont be ripped apart for just an update lolol

i work for seat and our techs have to do updates occassionally
like you say they'll just use the 5051b via your diag plug (think thats the correct comp)
i no what you mean bout the receptionist thing tho - customers never believe a lass-i get it all day long
