Yes, I used a diagnostic scanner. It pointed towards a possible issue with the control module. You mentioned a similar issue. Did the diagnostic scanner also point towards the control module in your case?

Yep, the diagnostic scanner indicated a control module problem for me as well. Honestly, I'm not super tech-savvy, but it seemed like the car's computer was confused. I'd suggest taking it to a workshop that knows their way around Seats. They should be able to sort out the coding issue.

I appreciate you sharing your experience. Took it to the workshop, and it turned out the control module coding was indeed the culprit. They recoded it, and the malfunction indicator is now gone. The engine diagnostics are clear, and the error messages have disappeared. Cost me 360€. Thanks again for your help.

Sounds frustrating! I had something similar happen with my Formentor. Kept getting a fault code and annoying messages. Did you try using a diagnostic scanner to pull the specific fault code? That might give you a better idea of what's going on.
