Well I'm disappointed to report that after just 17 months and 7900 miles from new, the first technical issue arose today.
I noticed in the virtual cockpit that an amber EPC light had come on - something to do with fuel according to the book. Accompanying it is an amber rev counter dial with an exclamation mark alongside it, obviously meaning either it won't rev above a certain range or suggesting that I don't do similar.
I called my local SEAT dealer and I was amazed to learn that they can't take a look at it until mid January! What a complete joke! I then called the supplying dealer and was told the same. They were however a bit more helpful in that they suggested getting AA assistance through the SEAT scheme so I gave them a call. I've actually managed to book a VAG specialist for this weekend, so at least it'll be diagnosed hopefully.
I was asked if the car had had any noticeable loss of power and funnily enough I did notice something a few days back, just briefly, as if the turbo hadn't spooled up properly. That was the only occasion.
Being an amber light, both service departments at the dealers said carry on driving as it's just an amber warning. I tend to agree but it doesn't sit comfortably with me.
Let's see what's diagnosed this weekend.
