Seeking Advice for 2022 Seat Tarraco's Engine Issues and Suspected Crankshaft Sensor Fault

Hey there, Seems like you're having quite some trouble. I own a 2019 Seat Ateca, and I'd faced a similar situation some time back. The symptoms in my case were pretty much identical, and as your guess, it was indeed the crankshaft sensor wiring harness/connector causing all these issues. When I took it to the mechanic, the diagnosis confirmed that the wiring harness was defective. The labor part of fixing this problem wasn't too complicated. The mechanic had to disconnect the battery, remove the sensor, replace the wiring harness/connector, and then reinstall everything. Sounds like a lot, but it wasn't as bad as it sounds. This was indeed a serious issue though, potentially leading to complete engine failure, and it's best not to ignore it. So give it attention before it becomes grave. Hope this helps you out. Good luck!

Hey, Sounds like your situation was a tight squeeze, huh! Reading your story, I got a bit relieved finding similarities. Well, the burning question here is, do you remember how much you had to shell out for the repairs? Hoping it doesn't punch a hole in the pocket. Since getting it fixed, any other mechanical quirks crop up? Just curious, as this Tarraco has been quite a rollercoaster ride until now. Thanks for the help!

Hey, You're spot on about it being quite a ride! Regarding the costs, I had to part with about 170€ to get that crankshaft sensor wiring harness sorted out. So, depending on your mechanic's rates, hopefully you're not looking at a much larger figure than that! I'm pleased to report that since my visit to the mechanic, the issues got sorted and my Ateca's been running smooth. No more quirky mechanical problems so far, fingers crossed! Trust me, getting that pesky sensor sorted out gives you a peace of mind. Hopefully it won't be any different for your Tarraco. Hope that helps, and wish you all the best on your car troubles!

Hey! Good to hear that the cost wasn't astronomical, and you're out there riding smoothly. Given all the potential headaches this could save, I think the price ain't too shabby. I'm hoping that my Tarraco follows suit and starts behaving after the fix! Well, all said and done, I'm off to the mechanics now. They better sort this out quickly. Thanks for your help. Finger's crossed for my old warhorse!
