SEAT Alhambra (2010 - )  

What's Bad

Potential problems with 1.4 TSI petrol engine.

What to Watch Out For

16-7-2012: Diesel DPFs require Adblue and some dealers charge an unreasonable amount for this. Can be obtained from around 25% of fuel service stations much more cheaply.

 

 

Recalls

7-5-2012: SEAT Alhambra. Seems to be a TSB over the electrics of the Alhambra's VW Sharan sister, a fault in which is holding up the production of looms for towbars.
