lunalupi Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 (edited) How old is the car?As its within the 40k change recommendation - if it's under 4 years old I'd be after SEAT for an explanation/repairs!

cardaft Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 The interval was changed to 40K or 4 years, which ever comes round first.However, how people are supposed to know this if they dont get their car serviced at the dealers and arnt members on forums like this ill never know.
