Self-Study Program No. 119
 Sportiness and design, as well as the quality of precission typical of SEAT, are the qualities of
the new SEAT family model, which follows the concept of sporty driving like the rest of the SEAT
range.
The SEAT Ibiza has a new technical base, which provides it with a longer wheelbase and a wider
track than the Ibiza 02. This is why this vehicle has better dynamic qualities than its predecessor.
The new Ibiza drivetrain is made by combining new components and components of proven
efficiency.
There is also a new brakes management system with two possible variants that provide
enhanced accuracy and speed of calculation and allow assuming new functions.
Power steering is carried out by an electrohydraulic system which generates the ideal assist in
each situation.
All these features make of the Ibiza 2008 the latest evolution of the model with the longest
history in SEAT.

The Ibiza 2008 front axle is basically made of:
- the subchassis,
- the wishbones, Wheel hub and
- the suspension ball joints, ball-bearings
- the hubs,
- and the struts,

normal and sport, which differ by the rating of the
shock absorbers, springs and roll bar. The latter
can be of either 18 or 20 milimitres diameter and
it is attached to the struts by means of metal
coupling rods.
The suspension ball joint is attached to the
wishbone with three worm pins and three nuts,

and also has an indication for the assembly side,
“L4” for the left and “R4” for the right.
The hub might vary depending on the type of
brake calliper fitted on the car, which depends on
the size of the brake disk.
The wheel hub and its ball bearing make up an Suspension

BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR G100

brake pedal, the new Ibiza has a brake pedal
Ferromagnetic ring
position sensor similar to the one used in the Altea
range. This sensor is attached to the lower part of
the brake pump, and is based on two Hall effect
sensors to detect the movement of a
ferromagnetic ring, which is a single assembly
with the brake pump piston.
The sensor generates two signals with opposing
voltage levels, which are interchanged when
activating the brake pedal. These signals are sent
via conventional wire to the engine control unit, to
the On-board network, and to the ABS or ABS/ESP
control unit. Later, to confirm the signal’s

LATERAL AND LONGITUDINAL ACCELERATION

SENSOR G200-G251
The new Ibiza ABS/ESP brakes management
system has a single acceleration sensor with
which the control unit can establish the
longitudinal and transversal accelerations to
which the vehicle is submitted.
This sensor is placed inside the ABS/ESP control
unit and cannot be replaced separately.
In other SEAT vehicles, the longitudinal
acceleration signal was only required when the car
was equipped with four wheel drive. In the new
Ibiza, this sensor is involved in correct operation of
the hill holder control (HHC) system.
Through the guided fault finding it is possible to
consult he values measured by the sensor, as well
as carrying out its basic setting.
In the event of signal fault, the ESP and HHC
functions will be deactivated.

ASR/ESP PRESS-BUTTON E256

Unlike other SEAT vehicles, in the new Ibiza the
ASR/ESP press button only deactivates the ASR
function, whilst the ESP function remains active for
enhanced driving safety.
It is necessary to disconnect the ASR function to
test the car on a roller bench, or specifically to
allow the engine generate enough torque to move
along a slippery surface so that the car is not
immobilised.
The press button sends out the activate/
deactivate signal via a single conventional wire.

indicated through the blinking of the ESP warning
light K155 on the instrument panel at a 1 Hz
frequency. To differentiate the ASR disconnection
from the ESP activation, the frequency of the ESP

becomes 3 Hz if the ESP function is activated.

STEERING COLUMN

The new Ibiza steering column is height and

depth adjustable and folds-in to protect the driver
in the event of an impact.
The steering column height and depth adjusting
system is made of:
- a lock/unlock lever,
- a metal clamp,
- two cam disks/plates (one fixed, and another
one that can rotate as a singkle assembly with the
lever),
- a toothed profile metal plate,
- and a metal piece that houses the positon slot
and a toothed area.
When locking the height adjusting the cam disks

vertical movement of the column.
Steering column depth locking is achieved by Restrictor lugs
the pressure from the metal clamp on the column
when it takes in the presure form the movement of
the cam disks. On the steering column there are
two plastic stops that determine the travel of the
depth adjusting of the column.
In the event of a front impact, if the force made
by the driver in the steering wheel overcomes the
friction force made by the depth adjustment
system when blocking, the steering column will
move towards the engine compartment and bring
the steering wheel away form the driver. This is the
reason for the adjusting lever and the metal clamp
nuts being sealed-off as if their tightening torque
is modified, the necessary force for folding-in the
steering column will also be modified.
On the sides of the fixed body of the steering
column there are two lug-type restrictors that limit
and stop the travel of the column toward the
engine compartment when the driver impacts on
the steering wheel.
To know whether the steering column has
overcome its folding-in limit after a collision, the
