Aye ats it. Wat is recall all about

 

[rik_t]

They replace the injectors and wiring loom and do some programming. A lot of us have had it done.

Letter says they only checking see if car needs work first. Does recall make car go better

 

[rik_t]

All they should need to check is your VIN number. They can check their database to see if its been done or not

I got my injectors and timing belt done on the same time and took about 7 hours.

I got a letter through too, now to pick which of the shitty seat dealers I actually trust my car with!

I just looked on the VOSA recall site - Nothing seems to be listed as an official recall?

If you're on a PD engine, it'll probably be that infamous injector recall.

My CR has no recalls on it at the moment. The only recall it's had done it a fuse of some description, which will have probably been some colour, and some amp-age, and gone into a fusebox of some sort...
Though when it went in, they laced my back door hinges with lithium spray grease, and proceeded to leave it dripping down the door shuts... the dirty !

What age of car is yours?

 

[SuperGreg]

Mines a 58 plate, apparently they are looking at cars manufactured from 04 to 07, think they're sending letters out to those owners who haven't been in for a check/change of injectors. Mine's going in on Friday.

Mines an 08 plate an booked in for thursday

 

[GlanzaV]

Do you just drop into your local SEAT garage and ask if you VIN has been done?

 

[_LEON_FR_]

Well i got send a letter an car booked in for thursday an they said going to check serial number on injectors an change them if required

 

[GlanzaV]

I literally got the car last Friday (08 FR) so not sure who they send the letter to? Last owner or me?

 

[SuperGreg]

Would probably go to the previous owner in that case, but you should be able to drop by the local dealers and ask them to check, depending on how helpful they are your other option would be to phone seat UK, if you search on here the numbers been posted a million times, particularly in the sticky thread at the top 'Leon injector Problems' they'll just need the reg plate to tell you if the work has been carried out previously (a lot have been done) or if its still required on that car.
