2005 Seat Cordoba engine

172Servicing 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 particularlyimportant 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

1)The "S" signal is a system which incorporates steering wheel lock and ignition. Once
the ignition is switched off and without removing the key from the ignition this function
allows you to switch on some of the electrical equipment such as the car radio, the
courtesy light, etc. This function is deactivated once the key is removed from the
ignition.

As a result of the special engine construction and the subsequent space
requirements and depending on the vehicle version, access to the bulbs
may be very difficult.
Changing bulbs should be carried out by a Technical Service Center.
Nonetheless, procedures on changing bulbs, except for xenon* bulbs, is
described as follows.
K
Main beam bulbs
1)Replacing this type of the light must be carried out by a Technical Service Centre since
complex vehicle parts must be disassembled and the incorporated automatic
regulatory system must be reset.
2)The glowing capacity of Xenon bulbs is 2.5 times higher than regular ones and their
life span is 5 times higher than halogen bulbs. It is not necessary to replace these
bulbs during the vehicle’s life, unless there is an anomaly.

If a radio is installed or if the factory-provided radio is replaced,
including speakers, the following must be noted:
•Connectors* fitted in the vehicle are for Original SEAT Radios
1).
•Radios with other connections must be connected with an
adapter cable which can also be obtained from Technical Service
Centres.
C Ca

Furthermore, important electronic components could deteriorate or be
damaged. In case of a disturbance in the speed signal, for example, it could
cause failure in the engine control, automatic gearbox, ABS, etc.
Even if the speed signal is connected to a radio fitted with an automatic
volume adjustment by a different manufacturer, a failure of the previously
mentioned kind could occur.
To access the original speakers, the entire door panel must be
removed. Since this operation requires special tools and expertise,
we recommend that this be undertaken by a Technical Service
Centre.
• For this reason, it is advisable to have the radio and speakers
fitted by a Technical Service Centre.
• The radios from the SEAT Original Accessories program
1)
correspond to factory models and guarantee a trouble-free
installation. These radios are fitted with advanced technology and
are easy-to-use.
• It is also advisable to use speakers, assembly kits, antennas and
anti-parasite kits from the Original Accessories program
1). These
parts have been created for each type of vehicle.

The vehicle may be fitted with an extendable anti-theft roof

Mobile phones and radio – telephones should be installed by a
specialised workshop.
SEAT has authorised the use of mobile telephones and two-way
radios for your vehicle with correctly installed external aerial and
maximum broadcast power of 10 Watts.
C Ca

io
on
n
When using mobile telephones or two-way, faults in the vehicle electrics
could occur under the following conditions:
– no external aerial
– external aerial incorrectly installed
– broadcast power higher than 10 Watts.
Mobile telephones or two-way radios must not, therefore, be operated
inside the vehicle without a separate external aerial or with an aerial which
has been incorrectly installed.
Furthermore, optimal range is only achieved with an external aerial.
N No

Please take the time to review the instruction manuals provided with mobile
telephones and two-way radios!
If you wish to use mobile phones or radio telephones with a
transmission power of over 10 W, you must necessarily check with
your Technical Service Centre. They will inform you about the
technical possibilities for additional mobile and radio phone
equipment.

engine. The following points should be noted:
• Both batteries must be of the 12 Volt variety and the capacity

of the flat battery.
• The jumper cables must be heavy enough to carry the load. Note
cable manufacturer’s data.
• Only use jumper cables with insulated clips.

• There must be no contact between the vehicles, otherwise
current can flow as soon as the plus terminals are connected.
• The flat battery must be properly connected to the electrical
system.
• The engine of the boosting vehicle must be running.
• Ensure that the insulated clips have enough contact to metal.
This is particularly applicable to clips which are attached to the

General notes
• Check whether there are any local traffic regulations concerning
the towing of vehicles.
• The tow-rope should be slightly elastic to reduce the risk of
damage to both vehicles. It is advisable to use synthetic fibre
ropes, or ropes of similar elastic material. It is however safer to use
a towing bar!
Avoid excessive towing effort and do not jerk. During towing
operations on other than surfaced roadsthere is always the danger
that the attachment points will be overloaded and damaged.

• When using a tow-rope the driver of the towing vehicle must
engage the clutch very gently when moving off and changing gear.
• The driver of the vehicle being towed must ensure that the tow-
rope is always taut.
• The emergency lights must be switched on in both vehicles –
unless local regulations differ.
• Turn ignition on so that the steering wheel is free and the turn
signals, horn, and, if necessary, the windscreen wiper and washer
can be used.
• As the brake servo only works when the engine is running,
considerably more pressure is required on the brake pedal when
the engine is not running.
• More force than usual will be required to turn the steering wheel
as the power assisted steering does not work when engine is not
running.
