Seeking Advice on Troubleshooting Issues with 2021 Seat Tarraco: Check Engine Light, Decreased Power, High Fuel Consumption, Noises, and Jerky Acceleration

Hey there, I'm not a car guru or anything, but got a bit experience mucking about with some motor problems. Had a kinda similar sounding problem on my 2019 Seat Ateca a while back. The ride was rougher than a bear on bicycle, and the engine was thirstier than a camel. Thing was, my machine had some dirty deposits mucking up the combustion chamber. Ended up putting her in the shop where they did a good cleanup job. Wasn't exactly cheap though, cost me a neat 425 Euro. For better advice, do you mind sharing if you've been using good quality fuel? And how many clicks your ride has on her? Could help narrow down what else might be causing your issues. Hope that helps a bit. Cheers!

Hey! Thanks for your reply and suggestions. I mostly go for good quality fuel, you know, the premium stuff. As for how many clicks, my Tarraco has done about 133529 km. Last service was about a month back. I guess it shelled out few Euro for a cleanup job, as you mentioned, won't hurt if it brings my ride back to its smooth self. Cheers for your help, appreciate it a lot! Will keep you guys posted on how it goes in the shop. Stay tuned!

No worries! Ah, alright, you're taking good care with the premium fuel and regular servicing. That's brilliant. But, you know, with that many clicks on the clock, some wear and tear is inevitable. Your Tarraco is just showing its age. I reckon it's not just a simple cleanup job this time. The knocking noise, jerkiness, and lost power could indicate a worn-out spark plug or misfiring. You might also want to check out the timing belt and fuel delivery system, as they could wear out and not work efficiently, causing those symptoms you mentioned. Don't worry too much though, the mechanics will sort it out. Hope everything goes well with your beloved Tarraco in the shop. Keep us updated. Stay safe and always turn the radio up! Cheers.

Hey there, Thanks heaps for the extra advice! Never thought about the spark plugs or timing belt - didn't know they could cause such issues. To be honest, as long as it doesn't turn out to be a super big-dollar fix, I'll be relieved. Fingers crossed my Tarraco gets back to her usual self with as little fuss (and cost) as possible. Sure will keep everyone in the loop about what happens at the wrench turners’. Take care and keep the pedal to the metal! Cheers!
