Hiya Matt,

Its the DPF lamp yer and yer having spoken to the Seat main dealers it has to be force regenerated which they can only do and like you say its a bit spendy spendy, hence the wanting to get them to do it.

Im thinking that a that with CBA would be a good idea on monday but im taking the car back tomorrow as im getting a bit cheesed off.

I'd like to know how long a (reasonable time would be) as for how long before i can go nuts basically

Cheers

If it's the actual DPF lamp, and it's a genuine DPF error, then you're potentially looking at big bucks - which makes it more of an issue. I believe i'm right in saying that it has to be manually re-generated - which in theory can clear it. However, i'm sure there is a point that if that doesn't sort it, then it needs changing. There is some good info on Seatcupra.net

I had an AX GT (don't all laugh!) that after I bought it, it became obvious that it had been involved in an accident that hadn't been properly repaired. I spoke to citizens advice, and on that occasion that advised me that I had a potentially good claim that the car wasn't fit for the purpose that it was intended (i.e the rear end was bent!!). Happened to throw this into conversation when discussing it with the garage, and all of a sudden they were happy to sort it for me.
