Lower mileage than usual for the Cupra this month. Alas I’ve not been off enjoying some winter sun, leaving the Leon to languish in a murky airport car park. Instead KR07 missed out on its usual 85-mile daily round trip for a week while Motorvogue SEAT in Northampton were looking for the cause of its pesky illuminated emissions warning light.

You may recall that the new ECU fitted last month didn’t fix things as hoped, so it wasn’t too helpful when this time the diagnostics test once again snitched on the ECU. Thankfully Motorvogue managed to identify that the real source of the problem was a defective exhaust gas sensor, and, part ordered and fitted – under warranty again, of course – the light appears to have gone for good.
