Other services available13
Other services availableLegal Inspection ServiceThe legal inspections must be carried out at the interva ls 
prescribed.Many countries have legal requirements ob liging owners to have their vehicle 
tested at specified intervals for safety for  the user and for other traffic, as well 
as ensuring that vehicle exhaust emissions  meet the countries' regulations. 
These revisions must be overseen by officially  certified centres.
Your Technical Service can advise of the ins pections required by law, and can 
check your vehicle in the course of an In spection Service. This will save you 
both time and money.
The Technical Service can also carry out  the inspections required by law at the 
client's request.
Even if you do not wish to take advanta ge of this service and decide to take 
your car to an officially certified centre for t his check, we recommend that you 
speak to the manager of your Technica l Service first.
This person will be able to inform you of any p oints that require attention so 
that your car does not fail the test and ha ve to be re-tested.Approved spare partsAll parts of your vehicle have been approved  by SEAT, especially those parts 
on which your safety depends. For this reason,  the parts used in the 
Programmed Inspection Services or in a ny vehicle repair must correspond 
exactly to the manufacturer-defined requiremen ts. The approved SEAT spare parts have been designed especially for y
our vehicle. For this reason, we 
recommend that Genuine approved SEAT spar es are always used.
In the Authorised SEAT Service Centres you  will find the most important 
approved spare parts. If in an exceptional case, th e necessary parts are not in 
stock, they can, in general, be obtained s wiftly.
The SEAT Service Centres in the EU provide a 24  month warranty
1) for 
Approved Spare parts from the date they are fi tted or sold. It is therefore 
advisable to retain the original invoice from  the Technical Service as proof of 
the existing warranty.
More information about this may be obtain ed from your Technical Service.
Approved SEAT exchange partsThe approved SEAT exchange parts, conforming to the manufacturer’s 
requirements, constitute an additional service  at your disposal, offering you 
the possibility to replace entire assemb lies, the most common being: the 
lightened engine, gearboxes, cylinder head s, control units, electrical 
elements, etc.
Of course these are  Approved parts and, as they have the same class as the 
manufacturer parts, they share the same SEA T approved spare parts warranty.
However, these parts are considerably cheape r as they are factory-recondi-
tioned used parts. Keep the invoice for the a pproved SEAT exchange parts as 
proof of the start of the existing warranty.
More information about this may be obtai ned at the Technical Service.1)The warranty is not available for all export markets. For more information, ple ase ask
your Authorised SEAT Technical Service.
