Other services available
14Other services availableLegal Inspection ServiceThe legal inspections must be carried out at the interval s
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 inform you abou t the inspections required by law,
and can check your vehicle in the course of an Inspection 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 this c heck, 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 approve d by SEAT, especially those parts
on which your safety depends. For this reason , the parts used in the
Programmed Inspection Services or in an y vehicle repair must correspond
exactly to the manufacturer-defined requiremen ts. The approved SEAT spare parts have been designed especially for you
r vehicle. For this reason, we
recommend that Genuine approved SEAT spar es are always used.
In the Authorised SEAT Service Centres you wil l find the most important
approved spare parts. If in an exceptional case, the necessary parts are not in
stock, they can, in general, be obtained s wiftly.
The SEAT Service Centres in the EU provide a 24 mon th warranty
3) for
Approved Spare parts from the date they are fi tted or sold. It is therefore
advisable to retain the original invoice from th e 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 assemblie s, 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 S EAT approved spare parts warranty.
However, these parts are considerably cheap er as they are factory-recondi-
tioned used parts. Keep the invoice for the approved SEAT exchange parts as
proof of the start of the existing warranty.3)The warranty is not available for all e xport markets. For more information, ple ase ask
your Authorised SEAT Service Centre.
