We have this fitted in our Altea. Comes in two parts, the lower bit for the squab if you're fitting a rear facing seat, and both upper and lower bits if you're fitting a forward facing seat. It's actually a dark graphite colour, not blue as it appears in the picture. We bought it locally in a...

The coil pack on our Altea 2.0FSi Sport packed up 10 minutes after we picked it up from the dealers for the first time. Was replaced without question, just had to wait a couple of days for them to get the part in. Later we had a problem with similar symptoms, but this turned out to be caused...

'grammar'

Maybe it's an intermittant fault on the coil pack, bad connection on the leads or a dodgy spark plug....or none of the above. Could be coincidence (probably) but it was No. 4 cylinder that went on mine both times (coil failure and damp) and the same one on another Altea with similar problems...

I've experienced a similar problem with our Altea 2.0FSi Sport. It would start poorly and idle badly, causing the car to vibrate as you say. At first I thought that it was a coil pack failure, as this had happened before causing a misfire and the symptoms appeared the same. When I took it to...

[ QUOTE ] Not really a huge surprise though given the old one is the same and so are all the other "small" vag group cars [/ QUOTE ] There you go, you learn something new every day. I was under the impression that if it said quattro on it it was the quattro system, in that quattro was a...

S3 due later this year, 2.0TFSi with 272 bhp, but Haldex not quattro. Clicky

As it was a safety issue you would think that they'd give you the bulbs as well.....after all, the cluster isn't much use without them.

Don't know if it's exactly the same layout on the A3 as the Leon but I assume it must be fairly similar. It's a common problem on the Leon that if the cover on the pollen filter isn't fitted correctly it can lead to water flooding the passenger side footwell as you have described. If you are...
