Location
The fluid container is on the left in the engine compartment. It
holds about 3.5 liters; in vehicles with a headlight washer system*
it holds about 6 liters.
The rear windshield* has its own container located in the engine
compartment.

the water. There are severala ap

To avoid a possible error by the fluid level sensor, the proportion of alcohol
and water should be 35% alcohol and 65% water approximately.
We recommend you contact a Technical Service Centre for further advice.
Under no circumstances should you add coolant anti-freeze or other
additives.

Adjusting washer jets
The jet for the rear window washer is in the wiper shaft. The water
jet should hit the glass in the centre of the wiped area.
The jets for the windscreen washer and headlight washers* can
only be adjusted with a special tool. When adjustment is
necessary, contact your Technical Service Centre.

buying accessories or carrying out technical

• Approved accessories and original SEAT spare parts may be
obtained through the Technical Services who will also, naturally,
carry out the corresponding assembly in the required conditions.
• Appliances which have been retro–fitted and have a direct
influence on the driver’s control of the vehicle e.g. cruise control
system or electronically controlled shock absorber systems must
have the e e

horns, fans etc. which are not directly linked to the control of the
vehicle must carry the C CE

• If technical modifications are to be made, our guidelines must be
observed. This is to ensure that no damage occurs to the vehicle,
the traffic and operating safety is retained and that the
modifications are permissible.

200Servicing and replacing
Spark plugs
The spark plugs are renewed during the SEAT Inspection Service.
If the spark plugs have to be renewed between the Inspection
Services, the following should be noted:
• The spark plugs and ignition system have been matched to the
engine and as such contribute to reducing the levels of exhaust
pollutants. To avoid faulty operation, engine damage and even the
withdrawal of permission to circulate due to excessive emissions
values or non-suppressed spark plugs, only use the Genuine spark
plugs for the respective engine in question. It is particularly
important to examine the number of electrodes, the heat value and
if necessary, the anti-parasitic.
• For technical reasons, plugs may be modified at short notice.
K
Dustand pollen filter*
The dust and pollen filter for the heating and ventilation system
can be found under the cover on the right in the plenum chamber.
The filter should be changed in accordance with the details given
in the Service Schedules. If the air throughput reduces
considerably, the filter should be changed earlier:
The filters should be changed by a Technical Service Centre.
