Caliper been replaced

[chillcupra]

Just thought I would let you guys know that my drivers side seat sport caliper has been flaking off. My local dealer didnt want to know so I took it to another dealer a bit further away who have always been very good and they are replacing the flaking caliper. The other one is fine. I was shocked at how quickly they decided to replace it. Just shows that it can be done

crazy how one dealer differs so much from another, corruption.com!!!

my dealer is horrific with courtesy cars, one minute it's available, then you turn up to drop the car off and poff, no courtesy car

The first dealer might actually be telling the truth, I've worked for 3 manufacturers (none VAG) and none would cover anything other than actual painted panels and alloys.

The new dealer might be doing it on the sly and might be claiming for a "seized" caliper.

^^^^^^yup, and if they do that twice and give them a nice coat of red paint............................ebay look out, bids galore

Chances are SEAT would ask for them back! They probably have an exchange program with AP for genuine seized calipers.

I had my PINK caliipers changed by the Dealers FOC.

I just told them straight that the car has a paint warranty and the calipers are painted.
