They didn’t say anything about the health check being paid for or free and I didn’t ask. You are probably right about getting a guaranteed fix with no waiting, I’ll cancel the health check tomorrow.
Both outer lights rear cluster have condensation just above the SEAT lighting logo at the very edge of the lights. Picture taken today where it has been completely dry for at least 24 hours. I cant see any sort of damage and the car is only 3 months old, should I be getting this checked out by the dealer?
Waste of time yesterday going to sytner seat. As soon as i walked in they said if its not covered under warranty they will be a £79 diagnostics charge, i didnt ask for diagnostics to be done on the car.
I asked if one of the technicians could look at the car and he said he didnt know if it would be covered under warranty (car is 2 years old) and would have to check if it was one of the models effected. He also said he would have to take photos and wait for a decision from seat uk to give the go ahead for the work to be done. I left soon after taking my car with me.
Going to try a different dealer.

Some dealers seem to be happy to do the work but some (Huddersfield Sytner) are more concerned in what they can charge you for, learned my lesson about this placeMy MK3 went into the local Listers for its first MOT.I mentioned the same issue to them,and they replaced both at no cost.This was yesterday.
Just got off the phone from Seat UK. Spoke to a lovely lady named Melissa and she has confirmed that......if the car is checked for warranty work for the brake light defect and its deemed that its not covered then a diagnostics fee can be charged.
Just rang a seat dealer thats 20 minutes away from me and they said to bring it down and they will take photos and theres no charge if it doesnt make the warranty claim.
Its in Wakefield mate. I’ve heard jct in Sheffield is pretty good.I would expect any dealer to take photos and send them to seatuk to get authority for the warranty claim - can't understand charging and then maybe saying you have to pay for new lights as well
Which is the other dealer Mark? the 1 in sheffield (Hillsbourgh) is supposed to be ok
Check around the edges for cracks, they normally follow after condensationI've got a 3 year old estate where the brake light is now getting condensation in it but seat have said they won't cover it although I bought from seat with a years warranty which it's still covered under , anyone had any joy getting it done? Was told as it's bodywork it's not covered even thought there is no damage to lens
