Other services availableLegal Inspection ServiceThe legal inspections must be carried out at the interva ls
prescribed.Many countries have legal requirements ob liging owners to have their vehicle
tested at specified intervals for safety for the user and for other traffic, as well
as ensuring that vehicle exhaust emissions meet the countries' regulations.
These revisions must be overseen by officially certified centres.
Your Technical Service can advise of the ins pections required by law, and can
check your vehicle in the course of an In spection Service. This will save you
both time and money.
The Technical Service can also carry out the inspections required by law at the
client's request.
Even if you do not wish to take advanta ge of this service and decide to take
your car to an officially certified centre for t his check, we recommend that you
speak to the manager of your Technica l Service first.
This person will be able to inform you of any p oints that require attention so
that your car does not fail the test and ha ve to be re-tested.Approved spare partsAll parts of your vehicle have been approved by SEAT, especially those parts
on which your safety depends. For this reason, the parts used in the
Programmed Inspection Services or in a ny vehicle repair must correspond
exactly to the manufacturer-defined requiremen ts. The approved SEAT spare parts have been designed especially for y
our vehicle. For this reason, we
recommend that Genuine approved SEAT spar es are always used.
In the Authorised SEAT Service Centres you will find the most important
approved spare parts. If in an exceptional case, th e necessary parts are not in
stock, they can, in general, be obtained s wiftly.
The SEAT Service Centres in the EU provide a 24 month warranty
1) for
Approved Spare parts from the date they are fi tted or sold. It is therefore
advisable to retain the original invoice from the Technical Service as proof of
the existing warranty.
More information about this may be obtain ed from your Technical Service.
Approved SEAT exchange partsThe approved SEAT exchange parts, conforming to the manufacturer’s
requirements, constitute an additional service at your disposal, offering you
the possibility to replace entire assemb lies, the most common being: the
lightened engine, gearboxes, cylinder head s, control units, electrical
elements, etc.
Of course these are Approved parts and, as they have the same class as the
manufacturer parts, they share the same SEA T approved spare parts warranty.
However, these parts are considerably cheape r as they are factory-recondi-
tioned used parts. Keep the invoice for the a pproved SEAT exchange parts as
proof of the start of the existing warranty.
More information about this may be obtai ned at the Technical Service.1)The warranty is not available for all export markets. For more information, ple ase ask
your Authorised SEAT Technical Service.
