Problems with Seat Exeo 2010: Power loss and Check Engine lamp lights up - suspected defective tank ventilation valve

Stalling while idling

Check engine light on

Shaking while idling

Jerking on acceleration

Loss of engine power

Unsteady engine

Hey, I have a problem with my Seat Exeo built in 2010, gasoline engine. The car is no longer running smoothly - the check engine light is on, there is a loss of power, the engine runs unevenly, jerks when accelerating and dies at idle. I suspect that the tank ventilation valve could be faulty. Have any of you ever had similar symptoms and successfully rectified them? I would be very interested to know how your garage has solved the problem and what experiences you have had. Thanks in advance for your tips!

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2008 Seat Leon. I'm not a car mechanic, but I do have a bit of experience. In any case, mine did exactly the same thing. I then went to my garage and they discovered that the hoses were clogged. It cost me 175 euros, but after that it ran like a new car again. Can you provide more information about your vehicle, such as the mileage or when it was last serviced? Maybe then I can help in more detail. Hope that helps!

Hey, thanks for the tip! My car already has 183500 km on the clock. The last inspection was carried out a few months ago. Maybe I need to have the hoses checked. 175 euros wouldn't be so bad if the car is running smoothly again afterwards. I'll go to the garage and report back what comes out of it. Thanks again, really cool of you!

Hey, no problem, always welcome! Given the mileage, the hoses might actually be worth a look. If it's been a few months since the inspection, it's possible that something has clogged up there. Thumbs up that it's nothing more and that your car will soon be running smoothly again. I also had a few kilometers on my Leon when the problem occurred. Don't be discouraged, these cars are robust! Keep us posted on what the garage says. Good luck with it!

Hey, thanks for the encouraging words! I really hope it's nothing more serious. I'll follow your advice and have the hoses checked at the next workshop visit. I'll keep you posted on what comes out of it. Thanks again, really cool of you to help in such detail. See you then!
