Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Seat altea gears problem

jackie1974 · 2014-05-24 22:29:30

Hey, I'm looking for some advice please, my 04 seat altea won't go into gear unless I let the engine run for a while in the morning and even then the gears are stiff until I drive five miles or so, anybody know anything about this and am i doing more damage by driving it. Any help at all would be great thanks

More than likely a clutch problem, or clutch master or slave cylinder issue, but might be no harm to check gearbox oil level too, you need mechanic to investigate
