not so much fun

While driving to work on the highway this morning our Seat Leon failed - the Missus had just shifted up when traffic cleared a bit, doing about 70 mph, when all power failed.
No warning lights of any kind, or funny noises, but impossible to get more than 30 mph.

Car was towed to a garage, we have a replacement now. Tow guy checked the car computer, it seems to be an error returned by an exhaust gas pressure sensor, so after the turbo.

Haven't heard from the garage yet, I hope we can avoid a costly repair as the car is for sale at the moment. The new Seat is scheduled for delivery Nov, 9th...

Ouch

if it's getting PX'ed i'd be tempted to do a ECU reset in the hope it runs ok for the next week & leave it for the dealer to find & fix

Well, it is at the dealer now. Hope they can solve it with ECU reset!
