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

Genuine accessories
We recommend that you use only Genuine SEAT Accessories
and accessories approved by SEAT.
If you wish to equip your car with accessories, you should remember the fol-
lowing points:
We recommend that you use only Genuine SEAT Accessories and approved
SEAT Accessories. These accessories are checked for reliability, safety and
suitability for your vehicle type. SEAT will not be held responsible for the
safety and reliability of parts from other manufacturers.
The SEAT Official Services provides a warranty for Genuine Accessories valid
from the date of purchase or fitting. It is therefore advisable to retain the
original invoice from the SEAT Official Service as proof of the existing war-
ranty.
More information about this may be obtained at the SEAT Official Service.
The accessories service also offers you expert advice and, if required, fitting
by a specialist.
In addition, SEAT Official Services are able to supply car care products and
parts subject to natural wear, such as tyres, a battery and light bulbs. Ð
Paintwork and body service
SEAT vehicles are designed in such a way that, in case of bodywork dam-
age, 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

Warranty
Warranty Fault-free operation warranty
SEAT Official Services provide a warranty for the fault-free operation of SEAT
vehicles new from the factory. Consult your sales contract, or complimentary
or additional documentation provided by your Technical Service where the
details of the warranty conditions and the warranty period are accredited.
Please ask your SEAT Official Service for further information.
We hope that it is understood that natural wear as well as damage caused
by the abuse of vehicle performance through inappropriate use or by unac-
ceptable modifications are excluded from the warranty. The warranty is also
invalid when the vehicle is damaged by the use of parts and accessories
that are not SEAT approved or damage due to ignoring the maintenance and
repair requirements. Ð
Paintwork and body warranty
SEAT Official Services provide a warranty that covers the
paintwork and bodies of all vehicles purchased from them.
In addition to the warranty conditions for brand new SEAT vehicles (as de-
tailed in the purchase contract, or complimentary or additional documenta-
tion), a defined period warranty is also provided covering paintwork and
body rusting:
● The additional warranty on paint faults covers the first 3 years following
delivery
● Covered against perforation rusting on the body during the first 12 years
following delivery. However, should this type of damage occur, it will be repaired free of charge
for parts and labour by any SEAT Official Service.
Warranty claims will not be accepted in the following circumstances:
● if damage is caused by external influence or carelessness, or
● if the damage to the body or the paint has not been repaired in accord-
ance with the manufacturer-defined requirements, or
● if perforation rusting was caused by the failure to carry out repairs in ac-
cordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
If the body is repaired or painted, your Technical Service will certify your
warranty against perforation rusting for the repaired sections. Ð
