Damn Noisy Fuel Tank!

[dw911]

I've brought it up with my local SEAT dealer and they say due to it not being a real mechanical fault it can't be replaced. So I don't know.

Just wondering
Do we think it's up to the individual technicians to come up with excuses to avoid fixing what might be a warranty claim- maybe the one who does the most/best/outlandish excuses in a year wins a prize from seat head office - or do they go on a special Seat Customer excuses course and get a special Seat approved excuses book that list them all and the technician chooses the most appropriate

I have a FR184 and i have never noticed the noise,i empty my fuel tank then fill it right up and always back my car on the drive .I have a boot mat and carpet on top of that so i don't know if that's helping to baffle it out.

It's due a service soon so I'm going to bring it up with the boys again and have a full tank when I bring it in. It's a little frustrating I have to say, but i'll live with it.

can honestly say I've NEVER heard this, no matter whether full or below 1/4 (and all points in between.
Maybe I'm just lucky...

I regularly get the noise when reversing out of the drive and tank is nearly full. Not really of any concern.

I have never had this either, and I always fill right up.
