You tell 'um chief
Was confirmed by Ed who said it felt like it wasnt very well, and due to the loss of power, and the fact it takes 3 minutes and 42 seconds to change gear, means I can barely keep up with a standard vRS Fabia
Did all the problems start at the same time ?
The only possible problem I could see causing all of those symptoms would be a gearbox without oil in, to the extent that so much friction was being generated that it was sapping engine power, and also making gear selection difficult.
Have you had a good look under the car for leaks ? Remember that if you've got the undertray on, it might not be so obvious.
Hope it's not that though !

that's a fair point, but if there was no oil it should have died by now, but it did remind me that some years ago I had a box with a bad output bearing, no noise but in third (only4) it felt like someone put the brakes on as the teeth of each gear moved out of correct mesh and caused an abnormal load, new bearing saved the cost of a new box , bloody BL

Yes, all the problems seem to have started at the same time...
No sign of a leak underneath the car, and the undertray has been off...
Gunna cost £100 to get the oil changed, worth it just to check?
seems a bit steep! for £20+ of oil however if the original has done more than 20K it's worth doing anyway, p.s. the drainplug tool is approx£14
WTF, who's quoted you that. Do it yourself and save yourself some pennies.
If you get the part number for the gearbox oil from SEAT and the quantity needed, I'll see how much I can it through work for, for you.
And on a side note what k rating are your xenons.

Is the gearbox fluid easy to do?
Might aswell change it if its gunna be cheap to do, and hope thats what has caused all this...

Without at your car for space issues. It should just be a case of undoing the filller plug, undoing the drain plug, let it drain out.
Refit drain plug, fill with required amount of oil to fill level, (usually till it starts coming out of filler hole) refit filler plug.
Can sometimes be a pain filling them depending on space issues.
Not at work next week, but when I'm back I'll check the exact change procedure and fill levels on ELSA, should be same as mk4 golf 6-speeders.

Depends vehicle to vehicle. On VW LT vans its 60k miles but on the transporters I've never changed the gearbox oil as its never been on the service sheet, don't think theres a set mileage/time as I recall.
Probably best off checking with SEAT dealer or looking in your service booklet as it may say what service it should be done at in there.

don't think there is a recomendation, I used G 052 726 A2 (my03-130PD) sixspeed from memory approx2.4? ltrs
I you want to keep it for a while it wouldn't be a bad move, you should see what comes out
