SEAT Exeo

The oddest car SEAT has sold, and the fact explains everything about it: it is an Audi A4 B7, tooling and all, bought from Audi and built in Martorell after Audi moved on. So it is a longitudinal-engined, rear-biased-layout car in a range of transverse front-drivers, and Audi A4 B7 information covers it completely while SEAT material barely exists. Anyone treating it as a Leon-derived car will be wrong about the engine orientation, the gearbox and the suspension alike.

Information, not instruction

CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.

Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:

  • The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
  • What you measured, not only what you replaced.
  • What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
