Had an email back today from my local Seat dealer who said

''I have checked and confirmed that your vehicle does fall with the chassis range to carry out the ignition coil insepction, depending on the findings we may or may not replace the ignition coil packs''.

So will basically need to book an appointment and take it there for them to test them. My car has just turned 100k and aint been running too great recently despite its maticulous maintenace especially from cold and also logs the odd missfire now and then so hopefully they find something wrong with them.

Mine was sorted :)

Got there, got hand delivered a hot chocolate, they replaced all 4 coilpacks then washed and hoovered it.

Top service!

Got all mine changed today for my Leon Cupra on the recall. Runs so much smoother now. No jurkiness or surging like before.
