hi, had my FR for about a year now and have had the same two annoying problems since I got it. I have looked around this forum and found ppl with similar problems but not quite the same.
Been to my dealer a few times regarding these problems, a good Seat dealer in Uddingston, Glasgow no A.Cl. connection.
Problem 1. Severe Creaking Noise from Rear Tailgate when its raining or been raining or when the car is just washed. Happens going over small to large bumps (especially Speed Bumps). Identified as a known problem by the dealer. Apparently the fix is to adjust the tailgate so the boot locks tighter.
This has been done twice but I still got the problem so what next?
Problem 2. This one is more pie in the sky as the dealer has tried tried and tried again to identify where the problem is coming from never mind a solution. Apparently they deal directly with seat technical and they haven't heard of this one either, maybe you guys have.
When braking from speeds normally above 20mph I get a high pitched noise that is noticable inside the vehicle but is louder outside the vehicle. Now the noise will only remain if I keep my foot on the brake once at a standstill, as soon as I lift my foot off the brake the noise goes. The noise has been traced (by the dealer) to around the rear at about the full tank. They changed the fuel pump as this might have been where the feedback noise was coming from but needless to say I still get it. This one is ongoing with the dealer - I think they want to know what it is as much as I want it fixed.
Any ideas on both of my problems would be cool.
