By far the worst car ive had problematic wise but i still love it 
1. Flaking gear knob (Replaced but started doing it again)
2. Flaking 'Cupra' badge on the rear, turned silver in the end.
3. Steering wheel very shiny after 30000miles (Upgraded to 225 wheel)
4. Drivers ball joint clunking every time i went over a little bump/kerb etc
5. Rear boot rattle (Still not solved 2 years later)
6. Maf replaced due to low airflow readings, (Dirty/contaminated)
7. Engine coolant beep on cold starts (Expansion tank replaced)
8. Engine coolant temperature engine light fault (Upgraded sensor to green type)
9. Rear jet frozen in winter months and pipe bursts when trying to push fluid through leaving a soaking wet boot floor
10. Keyfob would not open passenger doors (keyfob needed resetting)
Things i dont like about the car......
1st -2nd gear change is slow and clunky
Paintwork is of a very low standard, lots of stone chips now
Brembos were not as good as expected, brake fade when braking from high speed. (Change in pads/discs/fluid sorted that out and braking now very good )
Car came with a tape cassette
Its well equipped everywhere else why skimp and save on a tape cassette?
Main lights were not bright enough and required a bulb upgrade.
Apart from that, its very good lol

Time to revive this thread...
- I've got a rattle coming from the boot somewhere (anyone get this sorted?)
- Weird creaking noise when reversing (and turning) from the front drivers side... no idea?
- Annoying rattle coming from the stereo
- Brakes squeak sometimes (only happened a couple of times)
Guess I need to meet my local SEAT and use this warranty huh

coil pack , temp control sensor , coolant bottle (temp light would alarm) , passenger side door seals redone , front gator . Annoying faults , not too serious , although I was p$£"$d off when the coil pack & sensor went in the space of 3 weeks . If I was feeling p!"£$d off i`d take it for a drive & it would soon put a smile on my face .
