TIPS AND MAINTENANCE
Driving in winter
When using summer Diesel trouble may
be experienced at temperatures below
0°C because the fuel thickens due to wax
separation.
For this reason winter Diesel which is
more resistant to cold is sold during the
winter in some countries, and this works
correctly down to between –15°C and
–22°C approximately, depending on the
brand of fuel used.
In countries with different climatic condi-
tions the Diesel on offer usually has dif-
ferent temperature characteristics. The
SEAT Official Service Centres or the ser-
vice stations of the country in question
will inform you of the characteristics of
the respective Diesel fuel.
Filter preheating
The vehicle is fitted with a filter preheater.
This will ensure that the fuel system will
remain operational down to about –25°C,
provided that winter Diesel which is cold
resistant down to –15°C is used.
If, at temperatures below –25°C the fuel is
waxed to such an extent that the engine
will not start it is sufficient to place the
vehicle in a warm enclosure for a while.
Fuel
additives
(anti-waxing agent), petrol
and similar fluids must
not
be mixed with
Diesel fuel.
