Our Seat Alhambra developed a problem just out of warranty. Basically there was a short somewhere in the wiring which caused a lot of warning lights to come on. We took it to the local Seat dealer who replaced several relays & informed us the problem was sorted. This was on the 17th of Feb.
Cut to mid April & exactly the same thing happened again. I took the vehicle back to them to have the problem rectified again & pointed out that the air-con needed fixing too.
They called back a week later to say the problem was the air-con pressure switch which had leaked out all the gas & caused the short in the process.
How do we stand legally having to pay for the same repair twice ?
I’m not looking for an “out” or wriggle space when it comes to paying for this. Simply, can they ask for payment for the same problem twice, when the on the first occasion they mis-diagnosed the problem.
Thanks in advance. Dave.
