2005 Seat Toledo TDI Stylance review from UK and Ireland
"Nice car, but electrical nuisances plague it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wiper motor showed on diagnostics as faulty, and was replaced under warranty at 7000 miles.
Airbag light came on at 24000 miles; fixed under warranty.
Airbag light came on at 27000 miles; fixed under warranty.
Cruise control switch faulty at 27000 miles; repaired under warranty.
Airbag light came on at 31000 miles; to be fixed yet.
Lots of squeaks and noises from the dashboard, and also a lot of clicking from under the dash, which annoys as it sounds like I have left the indicator on, but the dealer is unable to find the fault.
General comments?
Like the cars looks, but a lot of niggling faults with it really disappoint me about this motor.
Boot is very small and an odd shape; have trouble with some prams and can't fit the golf clubs in it.
Electrics leave a lot to be desired; wiper motor fault and constant problems with the airbag lights are causing me great concerns about this vehicle.
These are not a financial problem now as car is still under warranty, but will become so when the warranty ends.
Plenty of good points, like the tinted windows, rear parking sensors, loads of room in the cabin for occupants, very economical, great headlights etc, but the electrical problems are really annoying me.
