Question 1

Is a used SEAT 2.0 TDI reliable?

Accepted Answer

Generally yes, when serviced on time. Check that the timing belt was changed at the interval set for the engine and, on a car driven mostly in town, that the particulate filter regenerates without warnings.

Question 2

What was the EA189 recall on SEAT diesels?

Accepted Answer

The 1.6 and 2.0 TDI EA189 engines fitted until 2015 were part of the Volkswagen group emissions case, and a software update, plus an air-flow part on the 1.6, was applied in a recall. Ask for proof the work was done.

Question 3

How much more road tax does a SEAT diesel pay in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

Half as much again as a petrol car with the same CO₂ figure, as the formula uses a fuel factor of 0.9 for diesel instead of 0.6. The rest is the same: CO₂ times a band factor of 0.5 up to 90 g/km, rising 0.1 per 10 g.

Question 4

Is the new SEAT Leon still sold as a diesel in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the new Leon is offered with the 2.0 TDI, with a manual or a DSG automatic gearbox. It is the only new SEAT in the Luxembourg price lists with a diesel engine.
