14Other services availableLegal Inspection ServiceThe legal inspections must be carried out at the intervals
prescribed.Many countries have legal requirements obliging owners to have their vehicle
tested at specified intervals with regards to security and oper ation 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 obligatory legally
required inspections and can revise your vehicle withi n the 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 an d decide to take
your car to an officially authorised centre for revision, we r ecommend
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 parts used in the Programmed
Inspection Services or in any vehicle repair must corresp ond exactly to the
manufacturer-defined requirements. Ap proved SEAT spare parts have been designed especially for your vehicle. Fo
r this reason, we recommend the use
of approved SEAT spares always.
In the SEAT Authorised Service Centres you will find th e 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 gua rantee
1) with Orig-
inal Spare parts from the date they are fitted or sold. Thus, it will be conven-
ient to conserve the original invoice from the Auth orised Service Centre as
proof of the existing warranty.
More information about this may be ob tained form your Authorised Service
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.

manufacturer parts, they avail of the same SEAT ap proved spare parts
warranty.
However, these parts are considerably cheaper as t hey are factory-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 mark ets. For information, please ask for in-
formation at the SEAT Authorised Service Centre.
