Mode function 140 FR SC

[fastnfat]

Has any one had the same/similar issue that my 1.4 FR is suffering with at the mo?
When in Sport mode and the ignition is then turned off. On the restart to all intents I.e the mode switch is lit up and the screen says it is in Sport mode but the engine response defaults to normal, the door lights also default to white(normal mode) but the steering remains as it should for Sport mode. If I hit the the 'Sport' on the screen then it all works as it should. The mode function should retain the last setting it in it's memory according to the book.
My dealer is at the moment unable to effect a cure but Seat Technical are involved so hopefully it will be resolved soon.

My FR 1.8TSi does this. Not a huge issue on the DSG as you can switch back into full Sport mode with a nudge on the gear lever.

Took a while but Seat have fixed my problem with the Mode retention. Apparently a combination of a software issue and one of the key fobs not compatible so both were recoded and all good so far.

Thanks for update fastnfat.
I will have to try another service in Poland. I have the same issue, and they informed me that according to VW Poland (which is official Seat importer in Poland) it's normal. They said it's done on purpose because of CO2 emmision and stuff, and they cannot do anything about it.
Seemed like BS to me, and now you've confirmed, it is in fact BS.
