Other services available Legal Inspection Service The legal inspections must be carried out at the intervals
pr
escribed.
Many countries have legal requirements obliging owners to have their vehi-
cle tested at specified intervals for safety for the user and for other traffic,
as well as ensuring that vehicle exhaust emissions meet the countries' reg-
ulations. These revisions must be overseen by officially certified centres.
Your Technical Service can advise of 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 advantage of this service and decide to take
your car to an officially certified centre for this check, we recommend that
you speak to the manager of your Technical Service first.
This person will be able to inform you of any points that require attention so
that your car does not fail the test and have to be re-tested. Ð
Approved spare parts All parts of your vehicle have been approved by SEAT, especially those parts
on whic
h your safety depends. For this reason, the parts used in the Pro- grammed Inspection Services or in any vehicle repair must correspond ex-
actly
to the manufacturer-defined requirements. The approved SEAT spare
parts have been designed especially for your vehicle. For this reason, we
recommend that Genuine approved SEAT spares are always used.
In the Authorised SEAT Service Centres you will find the most important ap-
proved spare parts. If in an exceptional case, the necessary parts are not in
stock, they can, in general, be obtained swiftly.
The SEAT Service Centres in the EU provide a 24 month warranty 1)
for Ap-
proved Spare parts from the date they are fitted or sold. It is therefore advis-
able to retain the original invoice from the Technical Service as proof of the
existing warranty.
More information about this may be obtained from your Technical Service. Ð
Approved SEAT exchange parts The approved SEAT exchange parts, conforming to the manufacturer's re-
quir
ements, constitute an additional service at your disposal, offering you
the possibility to replace entire assemblies, the most common being: the
lightened engine, gearboxes, cylinder heads, control units, electrical ele-
ments, etc.
These are Approved parts and as such, share the same approved spare
parts warranty as the manufacturer parts. £1)

ag
e, there is only need to replace and paint the parts that have been really
affected.
Both operations must be carried out according to the requirements of the
manufacturer; this is an essential condition for conservation of the body-
work and paintwork warranties. Ð
