Seeking Advice on Electric Snags and Air Conditioning Error Message in 2022 Seat Tarraco Hybrid

Hey there, I had a similar issue with my 2019 Seat Ateca a while back. I'm no expert, just an everyday car enthusiast who likes to dig around problems before rushing to the garage. My problem was a defective cold shut-off valve. Got it fixed by my local workshop. They did a solid job and didn't charge me a dime, because it was covered by the warranty. To help you out a bit more, could you let me know the exact model variant and any specific emissions or readings you're getting? That'll give us something more to work with. Take care!

Hey, thanks a ton for the response. Nice to see a fellow enthusiast! I'm driving the Tarraco e-Hybrid model, and trust me, it's a beaut. Can’t say I've been prudent enough to note down any specific readings at the moment. Right, my bad! But I'll certainly be more mindful next time I see that light flashing up. Mileage is 69599 KM so far, had its last service a couple months back. Let's see if that warranty can work some magic for me too. Cheers and take care!

Hey there, always glad to meet a fellow enthusiast and happy to help! Your Tarraco e-Hybrid sounds like a sweet ride, despite the problem. I totally hear you on the mileage - those KM really sneak up on you, huh? Getting back to your issue, the light on the speedometer can indicate a range of problems, from minor to serious. Trust me, it gave me a scare a few times in my old Ateca! It could indeed be AC related, especially if you've been noticing any unusual performance or sounds from your car's air con. The infamous AC light could be indicating a problem with the cooling system, the shut-off valve, or even an electric problem. But no need to panic, it could be something as simple as a malfunctioning sensor. One good step might be to try and reset the air conditioning system. To do this, start your Tarraco and turn the air con on high. After the car has cooled down a bit, give the system a rest by turning it off entirely for about 2-3 minutes. Then turn it back on to the highest setting. If that warning light is still persisting, I'd recommend taking it in to your local workshop. Remember, it's always better to get these things checked out before they potentially turn into a bigger headache. And, if by chance your warranty covers it, do a little dance! I know I did when I found out about mine! Hope that helps! Stay safe!

Hey, thanks for the detailed advice and the moral support! Special shout-out for that AC reset trick, going to test it out tomorrow itself. Trust me, restarting electronic devices has saved me more times than I can count, so this feels quite promising. If all else fails, the workshop is my next stop for sure. And you bet I'll be doing a jig if I dodge those repair costs! Thanks a ton again, take care and happy driving! Cheers!
