Other services availableLegal Inspection ServiceThe legal inspections must be carried out at the intervals 
prescribed.Many countries have legal requirements obliging owner s to have their vehicle 
tested at specified intervals with regards to securit y and operation as well as 
the exhaust gas composition. These revisions must be o verseen by officially 
authorised centres.
Your Authorised Service Centre can inform you about the o bligatory legally 
required inspections and can revise your vehicle within t he framework of an 
Interval Inspection Service. This will save both time  and money.
The Authorised Service Centre can also carry out the oblig atory inspections at 
the request of the client.
Even if you do not wish to take advantage of this service and dec ide to take 
your car to an officially authorised centre for revision, we  recommend 
speaking to the person in charge of your Authori sed Service Centre first.
This person will be able to tell you if any points need att ention so that your 
car does not fail the test and have to be re-tested.Approved spare partsAll parts of your vehicle have been approved by SEAT , especially those parts 
relating directly to security. For this reason, the part s used in the Programmed 
Inspection Services or in any vehicle repair must corresp ond exactly to the 
manufacturer-defined requirements. Approved SEA T spare parts have been designed especially for your vehicle.
 Thus we recommend the use of 
approved SEAT spares always.
In the SEAT Authorised Service Centres  you will find the most frequently used 
SEAT approved spare parts. If, exceptionally, the necessar y parts are not in 
stock, in general, they can be obtained rapidly.
The SEAT Service Centres in the EU provide a 24 month guar antee
1) with Orig-
inal Spare parts from the date they are fitted or sold. T hus, it will be conven-
ient to conserve the original invoice from the Auth orised Service Centre as 
proof of the existing warranty.

Centre.
Approved SEAT spare partsThe approved spare parts, according to the manufact urer specifications, 
represent an additional available service and facili tating the replacement of 
entire assemblies, in general: lighte r engine, gearbox, cylinder heads, 
control units, electric elements, etc.
Of course these are  Approved parts and, as they have the same class as the

warranty.
However, these parts are considerably cheaper as they are f actory-recondi-
tioned used parts. Conserve the invoice for SEAT  exchange parts as proof of 
the start of the existing warranty.1)The warranty is not available for all export mar kets. For information, please ask for in-
