Other services available15
Other 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 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 Authorised Service Centre can inform you about the inspections required 
by law, and can check your vehicle in the course of an Inspection Service. This 
will save you both time and money.
The Authorised Service Centre can also carry out the inspections required by 
law at the client's request.
Even if you do not wish to take advantage of this service and decide to take 
your car to an officially certified centre for this check, we recommend that you 
speak to the person in charge of your Authorised Service Centre first.
This person will be able to inform you of any points that require attention 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 
on which your safety depends. For this reason, the parts used in the 
Programmed Inspection Services or in any vehicle repair must correspond 
exactly to the manufacturer-defined requirements. The approved SEAT spare  parts have been designed especially for your vehicle. For this reason, we 
recommend that Genuine approved SEAT spares are always used.
In the Authorised SEAT Service Centres you will find the most important 
approved spare parts. If in an exceptional case, the necessary parts are not in 
stock, they can, in general, be obtained swiftly.
The SEAT Service Centres in the EU provide a 24 month warranty
2) for 
Approved Spare parts from the date they are fitted or sold. It is therefore 
advisable to retain the original invoice from the Authorised Service Centre as 
proof of the existing warranty.
More information about this may be obtained from your Authorised Service 
Centre.
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 assemblies, the most common being: the 
lightened engine, gearboxes, cylinder heads, 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 SEAT approved spare parts warranty.
However, these parts are considerably cheaper as they are factory-recondi-
tioned used parts. Keep the invoice for the approved SEAT exchange parts as 
proof of the start of the existing warranty.2)The warranty is not available for all export markets. For more information, please ask
your Authorised SEAT Service Centre.
