2001 Seat Leon S20V 1.8 from Mexico
Summary:
Wet disapoint
Faults:
The car have some tolerable noises in the doors mainly.
The back doors and seats squeaks a lot.
The main attraction!, water on the passenger side floor. I get the car to the dealer, the first time they said the car was OK and there were nothing to do.
The second time they thought it may be a problem with a small radiator of the Air Condition system (climatronic), they have disassemble all the dashboard to change that "tinny" part. Go figure out all the noises that this action causes.
One week later a storm came down and, guess what? Yes water came in again, but this time it was a pool.
By now the car is at the dealers workshop, and they have no idea of what could be the cause.
I cape hear and I read that is a recurrent problem with seals.
Wait a minute I almost forget about it, the electric elevator of the drivers windows makes a big "clunk!" noise when you get it down. The dealer promises to change it... when they have the part in stock.
General Comments:
The engine is just great and fast.
Very well equipped for the price.
But the problems with eat came to early.
Previously I owned a VW Pointer (also known as GOL in Brazil) It was a good car smaller and slower, but very reliable.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
