Note
Make a note of the code number of the an-

new adapter, you can obtain it from the
specialised CUPRA service or the SEAT Of-

Wheel change: loosen the wheel nuts.
Use only the wheel wrench belonging to the
car to loosen the wheel nuts.
Loosen the wheel nuts only about one turn
before raising the vehicle with the jack.
If the wheel bolt is very tight, carefully push
on the end of the wheel wrench with your
foot. Hold on to the vehicle for support and
take care not to slip during this operation.
