I know the answer is to plug it in and see what fault codes show up.
But for 18 months the EPC light has occasionally lit up with 'Stop/Start error' showing. The car drives normally other than the stop/start function doesn't work when it happens (which I don't mind). The error and EPC light would always clear when restarting the car.
It happened very rarely back then, and I asked a Seat garage to look into in a year ago when having some other work done.. They said no fault codes were stored and everything looked ok.
However, the last couple of months it's been happening more often, and the last couple of weeks it's almost (but not quite) happening every journey. Then yesterday I got a 'low oil level' warning and checked the level to find it was very low. Topped it up with about 400ml at the roadside. Today I've driven around 80 miles and checked the level again at the end. It's dropped half way down the dip stick and I've had to top up again.
Does anyone have any idea what could be going on here? It's a 2013 1.8TFSi FR. The three closest Seat garages to me can't fit for a month, and I don't know of good independents near me. Cheers.
