Hi all,
Had a bit of a nightmare with the K1. It's a 58 plate and only had it about 8 weeks, a couple of weeks ago the Engine management light came on and after a few days went off then a few days later came back on...basically we took it to the local Seat dealers and they checked it out and then changed a sensor which solved the problem.
A couple of weeks later the same light came up, after further researcha nd following the Seat protocol it turns out that there is a problem with the wiring loom, they appear to have tracked the fault which means that they have to replace part of the wiring loom and take most of the interior and dash out. This means they are having the car for 2 weeks.
Currently the the dealers ahve given me a Mazda Poo...I mean two...to drive around in. It's not the best of cars to drive around in for 2 weeks and I'm really annoyed with the way I've had to waste my time with trying to solve this problem over the past few weeks on a car that is not even 3 years old. I wouldn't expect this from a VAG car!
The dealers (Colliers in Tysley - Birmingham) have been good however is there any way of getting some sort of compensation/gesture of good will from Seat for the hassle I've had with the car since we purchased it?
Any thoughts would be welcome.
Cheers
Rob
