Other services available
Other services available Legal Inspection Service
The legal inspections must be carried out at the intervals
prescribed.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 SEAT Official 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 SEAT Official 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 vehicle to an officially certified centre for this check, we recommend
that you speak to the manager of your SEAT Official 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
Genuine SEAT spare parts are designed for your vehicle and approved by
SEAT, particularly as regards safety. The workmanship, precision of dimen-
sions and materials of these parts comply exactly with factory specifica-
tions. Genuine SEAT spare parts have been designed especially for your ve-
hicle. We therefore recommend that you always use genuine SEAT spare parts. SEAT will not be held responsible for the safety and reliability of parts
from other manufacturers.
In the SEAT Technical Services you will generally find the most important
genuine SEAT spare parts. If a part is not in stock, it can usually be obtained
quickly.
SEAT Technical Services provide a warranty for genuine SEAT spare parts,
valid from the date of purchase or fitting. It is therefore advisable to retain
the original invoice from the SEAT Technical Service as proof of the contrac-
tual warranty.
Please ask your SEAT Official Service for further information.
The genuine SEAT spare parts warranty can be submitted to any SEAT Offi-
cial Service . Ð
Approved SEAT exchange parts
The approved SEAT exchange parts, conforming to the manufacturer's re-
quirements, 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.
However, these parts are considerably cheaper 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.
More information about this may be obtained at the SEAT Official Service. Ð
