2001 Seat Ibiza Chill review from UK and Ireland
"A problem car from the start"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Incorrect clutch fitted during manufacture and so far the car has had 1 new clutch & 4 clutch cables. Still not resolved.
Central locking locked me in and would not open for a while. This could have been dangerous if in an accident.
Flickering dashboard lights.
Squeaky driver seat repaired 3 times.
Badly closing back doors.
Engine Management Light comes on at regular intervals.
The engine misfires every now and again.
Faulty bonnet catch.
Noisy exhaust.
Door panel faulty and now replaced.
General comments?
The car has been one big problem since I bought it.
I am still waiting for the clutch to be resolved.
