A couple of niggles
« on: March 17, 2018, 09:30:58 AM »
My 595 Tricolore is coming to its two year birthday and there are a couple of niggles...

The drivers seat height adjuster doesn't work, the leaver just moves up and down without moving the cushion.

The other thing is that the bulb that lights the right side of the heater controls has gone, you only get half lit up.

The question is, are these covered by the warranty?

I can live with both issues, me and my partner are ok with the seat at whatever height its at now, neither of us are big people, so its not that!

The bulb, well, I think it took a while to notice, I am sort of reluctant to do anything about it because this Abarth is rattle free (better made than the first 2 we had) and probbly won't be when they've pulled the dash apart to fix it

If they are covered by the warranty, I'll think about getting them fixed, it goes back in a year or so with the PCP, so won't be a problem for that time and as I say, we can live with it!

The seat should be covered under warranty, not sure about the bulb but you could pulled the facia and check/replace the bulb.

That's what I was thinking, what about the third year of the warranty?

Isn't the third year cover less, because its not manufacturer cover, its Abarth UK/Dealer?

Thats what the others say.......

They should still cover faults. They might try and say wear and tear but stick to your guns.

Thanks chaps ;)

I'll wait until the second service is due in June.

I'm a Quality Engineer so sticking to my guns won't be a problem!
