Good old build quality....... I can see a recall coming

I'd be soooo pissed off!!!

There won't be a recall until it starts happening to many more ST's. It's only happened to one (that we know of), so isn't a widespread issue at all. Microscopic weaknesses in the manufacturing process won't show themselves until it's on the road and being used. Fortunately it happened after 120 miles and well in warranty, so it won't cost a penny to resolve and will have a courtesy car while the car or engine is replaced

I remember visiting the Seat factory in Barcelona a few years back and cars that had only just come off of the production line had issues which had to be resolved before they were shipped out to customers.

Hi all,

Picked my st up last week, great car but smells like somethings burning slightly after a run, dealer says it probably just new engine parts/oils etc getting worn in? Anyone else have the same?
