Seeking Solutions for Bouncing Issue and Warning Light on 2023 Seat Tarraco Hybrid

Excessive Bouncing

Bouncing excessively over bumps

Warning light in the speedometer of the vehicle

Hey folks, I'm encountering a weird issue with my 2023 Seat Tarraco Hybrid. My rig has been bouncing like crazy over bumps and shows a warning light on the speedo. I suspect it's some snafu with the damper adjustment of the chassis. Got any drill-down insights on this? Appreciate if anyone could share how they handled similar issues at their workshop. Thanks!

Hey! I had a somewhat similar joltin' ride on my 2022 Seat Leon. I'd call myself a chap with 'some' car experience, nothing to brag about! Ended up finding it was a cable connection issue tied to the chassis. Took it to my local garage, they got busy with their special tools and voila, job's a good'un. Charged me 155.00 Euro for it. Just a shot in the dark, but it could be something along those lines for your Tarraco too. Have you noticed any warning lights other than the one on your speedo? Knowing a bit more about your beast might help me draw a better picture for you.

Hey there! Spot on with the warning lights query. There's another one flickering near the battery icon. Not sure if that's relevant, but just putting it out there. Mileage, as it stands, is 81757 KM. Latest service was done a few weeks ago. Really puzzled as I've been taking good care of it. Will definitely check out your cable connection theory at my local joint. Appreciate the help, dude!

Hello! Thanks for getting back. That extra light near the battery icon? It does add to the story. Now, I can't be 100% sure of this, but your problem might not be just in the damper adjustment of the chassis or the cables. In my Leon, once I had a similar thing going on with a whacky warning light situation. After some tinkering, my mechanic found a fault with the hybrid system, mainly with the battery charging module. Played havocs with all the car's systems and even impacted the suspension, hence the bumpy ride. My suggestion - let your technicians give a good look at the hybrid battery systems. Cost me around 200ish Euro to set right, but the ride's been buttery smooth since then. Just a heads up, it might or might not be your problem, but worth investigating in your case. Let's see how it goes, keep us posted!

Hey there again! You know what, that does ring a bell. Hybrid system messing with my Tarraco maybe, huh? Never figured the battery system could have a domino effect like that. Your advice sounds solid. I'll pass this onto my garage and get them to do a thorough check on the hybrid systems as well. I've booked an appointment for the coming week! I'll let you know how it pans out. Thanks for the help! Really appreciate it. Cheers!

Let our mechanics help you!
