Guard-X. Knew it was here somewhere. Had interior done with Scotchguard too. Smells like pear drops.

Before you put too many miles on invest in a strip of 3M clear coating on the front bonnet, I wished I had done that now co's the front does seem very prone to paint chipping etc. [ this has been discussed on another thread here]Just forgot to say, it might be worth getting the paintwork treated with whatever SEAT's equivalent of Supaguard is (X-something?Can't be a*sed to find the documents). Mine was treated from new and and I'm convinced that's why the Urano grey's come up so well again this time. It was treated again on the day of pick-up as part of the deal. Should be thrown in for free by any self-respecting dealer, I would have thought.
I find fifth really only useable above 50mph and sixth above 65, but then again mine is a MY11 and a bit higher geared than yours I think. As for the gearchange indicator, well I think it's a waste of space! it always want's to change up too early. The first time mine goes into the workshop I'll ask them to turn it off, but I can't waste the time taking it in just for that.Still find it a bit gruff at about 40 in fifth and haven't decided whether the gearchange indicator is a good or bad thing - mixed messages about changing up to a gear the engine sometimes doesn't seem comfortable with, or down when it seems to be cruising quite happily.

You need VAGCOM or a dealer to turn it off.It would be good to know if you can turn it off as it is just a distraction, to me anyway.
Gear box has thinner oil [ compare Audi B7 and B8 oil types - helps the Co2 !?!@] mine had a similar problem.And it's a long time since I had a warranty too - so intend to use it if I have to.
Cheers.
Bit of an update. I test drove the car this morning, loved it. Slick gear box, engine has plenty of poke and it holds the road nicely. I test drove the Sport model, it was the only demonstrator they had, but there was no excessive bumpiness or jarring. The ride was actually very good and should be even better on the SE Tech. All in all I was very impressed. Lead times are 10-12 weeks so I just have to sit on my hands now and hope the deals currently on are still there next year.
One question - Why are Seat not promoting this car? It is a cracking car but you rarely see it advertised and I certainly do not see many on the road. Very odd.
