Turbo ?

How could I find out definitely if it the turbo mate

Do you have an OBD reader? You should be able to get readouts from a number of perimeters using one. The connector is behind the ashtray I believe.

I have never used one, never had cause , but there are many members who use them and have a good knowledge of what you need to look for.

If an 80bhp Seat feels quicker then I think we can say with a very high degree of certainty that you have no turbo power and are essentially in 'limp mode' (because if not the Seat would be a spec in the rear view mirror!). The reason for this however is the question. Need to read the fault codes to start with I would say.

Should do. I got a bluetooth one from eBay for under a fiver and that works OK.

Just pull out the little rubber mat in front of gear stick to access the port. :thumbup:

If the I find out today that the car is limp mode does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue as I was thinking of selling it cause its slow ahah

Depends what the issue is. It may be as simple as a disconnected sensor.

Is the engine management light on?

Are there any warning messages from the dash?

 

[Kez1256]

As far as I can see I haven't any warning lights on the dash at all I've disconnected the battery and put it back on but still same but same again no warning lights as such

Sounds like an OBD code read would be a good idea.
