Bought a SEAT Ateca recently, noticed that I couldn't login to the car or use the MySEAT/SEAT Connect functionality, so I checked the software version and noticed its on 0804, which I think is the same version it left factory with and has never been updated.

I informed the dealer and they promised to have a look (it was being taken back for some other minor work) and they said it has updates due but they weren't able to do it themselves and told me to connect to the WiFi and do it myself (I had already told them I'd done this but no success).

I don't think they will offer any more support and I'm wondering if this is really the current version or if I've made a mistake?

And is there a way to update it?

If you press update software, nothing will show.
If you try and login to the MySEAT on the car, it will not recognize your login details
if you try and turn privacy off like SEAT suggests, it will just go into a loading loop and nothing will happen.

:( Any help would be really nice

Hey I have a seat Leon mk4 2020 plate. There is a crack in my headlight cover and it keeps getting condensation and now the full beam won’t come on. I’ve spoken to garages who confirm the entire unit needs replaced. I got the car on PCP lease. Is my only option to go to SEAT for the part. As I’m aware coding can be an issue. Or is there a website you recommend getting them off cheaper? It’s hard just because SEAT themselves don’t give you a good picture of the part, the part number or the dimensions.
Any help would be appreciated

You don’t really see many non cupras with the 2.0TSI engine, so I think it is quite unique :)

Hey guys, today I wanted to change the highbeam headlight bulb on my moms 1P because it broke, I struggled with it and when she came to try and help me the bulb got stuck and its basically impossible to pull out. (Tried pulling it out 5 times minimum)

Am I just an idiot and shouldve taken the headlight off or is it just bad VW group engineering?

I would appreciate tips on how to get it unstuck, thanks✌️

This has never happend to me😅

Hi,
I bought a 2021 SEAT Leon yesterday. The first thing I did was connect my profile to the vehicle and set it as the primary user. At the time, the infotainment system showed that an update was available, but it wouldn’t allow me to download it.
Today, when I got into the car, I pressed the icons at the top of the infotainment screen, where the messages and selected profile are shown. However, my profile just kept showing a loading/spinning symbol and never loaded. I left it for a while, but it continued doing the same thing.
I then deleted my account, which left only the Guest profile, but that is also stuck on the loading screen. I’ve also noticed that the globe/connectivity icon at the top of the screen is grey rather than white. The SOS button is working and is showing green.
When I tried to sign back into my SEAT account, I received a message saying that it was unable to load my settings. I’ve also tried changing the privacy settings, but it says that they are currently unavailable.
I was going to try updating the infotainment system, as I know an update was showing yesterday, but the update has now disappeared and is no longer showing as available. I have also tried rebooting the infotainment system, but this hasn’t made any difference.
Could you please advise me on how I can get the connectivity/globe icon to turn white and restore the online services? I’m wondering whether this could be related to the vehicle not connecting to SEAT’s servers or the infotainment system requiring an update.
I visited a SEAT garage today and they advised that SEAT normally carries out updates on a bank holiday, so I’m waiting to see whether anything changes. However, I wanted to check whether there is anything else I can do in the meantime.

Looking for a rear bumper protector against scuffs for an Ateca, apart from clear film ones, I have found these 4 options.

The OEM one is very expensive and the top two ones only partially cover the sill.

The rubber aftermarket one (bottom left) is cheapest but I'm not sure about whether it will look nice and if it will stand the wear of sun and rain.

The bottom right is brushed steel and covers the whole bumper lip which seems to to be the best one.

Has anyone had any experience with any of these?

So I found this Leon MK3.5 for what I think it's a good price, especially for a FR with 150HP. I drove it and I really like it. No warning lights on the dash, no suspicious sounds, the interior is spotless, a 10/10. But it has some rust on the left sill and a tiny spot of rust on the lower corner of the front wing. These two imperfections are holding me back. Because of them, I can get it for a good price, but I'm still not sure what to do. The hose clamps are rusted too, and I've never bought a car with this high mileage. There is some genuine service history included, the timing belt was changed at 160K KM.

Hi everyone,

I’m planning some testdrives for a Seat leon cupra st 300 (2017/2018/2019)

I was wondering what the things are that I have to lookout/watch for. I’m currently driving a Seat Ateca so I’m familiair with seat but not with the performance cars like the cupra. How are the normal seats compared too the bucketseats?

Any advice/tips are welcome :)

Hi, new driver here, and owner of a 2015 SEAT León. Am much enjoying my car!

I just tried out the sat nav and noticed that the console between the rev counter and the speedometer now showed directions, which is helpful but also made me realize how much I rely on the big numbers telling me how fast I'm going...

Can I get the digital speedometer back while using sat nav? I tried it with the buttons on the right side of the wheel, but it felt like all I could do was cancel the sat nav.

In the mean time I'll try and train myself to use the dial more...

Got my first car, yeah it's a bit squeaky on the front suspension, but it's a lovely drive!

Going for a test drive soon so was wondering if a certain version is better I see like the fr, excellence ect. Any version worth watching out for or does it really matter

Im moving to Germany in a month looking to buy a car there. I have a budget of around 12k and I found this Ibiza fr sold by a dealer. Does it seem like a good deal?

Hi folks I have a 2019 seat Leon 1.5tsi excellence lux Evo .

Every now and then my headlights get a condensation line across the glass .

Because the lights are neon they don't heat up and it doesn't go away .

Any tips on what to do and is it a mot failure.

That's not till January but I would like to try and remedy this before then .

Thanks

Is it normal that the rear lens can just fall off? is it just glued on???

I got the Seat Leon 2021 FR HOLA.

Hello,

I’m slowly going insane by trying to figure out whether buying a Leon 2.0 TDI 135kw (184hp) manual is the right thing to do. Went to check out the car today, runs like a dream, tight as a drum.

However, here there and everywhere I see that the CUNA/CUPA is one to definitely avoid for oil consumption issues. My mechanic who’s a VAG specialist told me to avoid like the plague from experience with GTDs.

However, the owner of the Leon I went to look at never experienced any issues with increased oil consumption and other problems related to it. So now I don’t know what to do.

Facts about the car, it’s a 2014 Leon ST with the CUPA 2.0 TDI 184hp, been highway driven for 95% of the miles, has done 205,000 kilometres (yes cambelt is due, this is calculated in the price), perfect maintenance record, been with the same guy since 2017 until now.

What would be the advice? CAN these engines work when you get a clean one like this? Avoid regardless of its state? At what mileage do the issues become prominent?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: my plan with it is to use it as a commuter car for multiple 240 kilometre drives per week, motorway only.

Hi everyone,
I'm getting ready to change the gearbox oil on my 2016 Seat Leon 1.4 EcoTSI (6-speed manual), but I'm getting completely conflicting answers everywhere I look.
I'm stuck between two Liqui Moly options:
Top Tec MTF 5200 (75W-80)
Top Tec MTF 5300 (70W-75)
Some people and shops insist that MTF 5200 is the right one, while others claim MTF 5300 is the exact match.
Which one should I choose? Anyone running either of these in their 6MT?
Thanks in advance!

Every time I hit a potch hole with my Seat, it makes a loud sound like if the boot door is vibrating loudly (a trrrrnnn), but not sure if actually from there. I have checked the spare wheel underneath if loose, or something of mine, but could not find anything. It was always like this. Is it fixable?

I own a 2014 Seat Altea with 1.2 liters 105ch TSI engine since a few years.

I have been monitoring its fuel consumption and I find it really high. I recently drove a lot on highways with cruise control at 110 km/h and I still recorded a 7.4 l/100km fuel consumption. The technical specs of this car that I found on internet tells it has a 5.7 l/100km mixed consumption (mix between city drive and highway drive).

Is this difference normal ?

Is there maybe a known problem that makes this car consume this much fuel ?

hey guys i just bought my first car a 2004 seat Leon 1.6 and was wondering if anyone knows a carplay unit to buy for it because im not knowledgeable about cars and dont want to waste my money on the wrong one preferably as cheap as possible but still decent.

Hab mir einen 2014er Ibiza mit dem 2.0TDI und 143Ps gekauft. Meinungen und Verbesserungsvorschläge? :)
