Driving in to work today, the front left suspension started making an awful crunching sound over the slightest bump or uneven surface on the road. Suspected it was either a coil spring, shock absorber or some sort of mount problem. Dropped it off at the garage and it is the coil spring, so I'm getting both fronts replaced. Very surprised as my car only drives on motorways mainly.
I am starting to question the quality of Seats... The car is on 60k miles, and a coil spring has broken. At 35k, both rear shock absorbers were replaced. At around the same time, the oil pressure sensor failed.
I have had an Audi A3 and that car was problem free up until I got rid of it at 90k miles. I think this Leon has been the most unreliable car I have owned. Are components shared between the VW Group? I'm looking to get a VW Tiguan this year, and I'm just wondering if that will start suffering faults so soon? Or because they are made in Germany, are they generally more reliable?
