7 Body elements made from ultra high

strength steel
7.1 Locations of the components made from

ultra high strength steel
Note
Repairs may only be made according to the manufacture instruc‐

tions in the respective repair manual. Ultra higher strength and
hot-formed body panels may only be repaired using modern in‐
verter technology, otherwise the optimum passenger protection
after repairs is not possible. Form tempered steel panels are used
in areas under extreme stress. These panels offer a clearly higher
strength than conventional high-strength panels for less weight.
In principle, for all tasks on higher-strength body panels ⇒ General

Information; Body Repairs, General Body Repairs ; Steel sheet
repair applies.
The body of the vehicle is predominantly manufactured from
galvanized steel panels.
In the figure enclosed, the elements manufactured from very high
strength steel and ultra higher strength and hot-formed steels are
displayed
permitted in colour
unless authorised (seeS.A.
by SEAT table).

11 Reshaping work, access zones

Depending on the straightening work carried out on mobile or
fixed elements, it must be assessed whether manual or mechan‐
ical straightening is done with the electric panel beating equip‐
ment - VAS 5021- .
DANGER!
When carrying out work to straighten or remove dents to body‐

work in areas around the seatbelt, the seatbelt assembly must
always be removed from the vehicle.

WARNING
Observe the existing access zones on the interior elements as

well as the initial disassembly work to be done in order to eval‐
uate the straightening process.

13 Platform repairs
WARNING
If a vehicle is damaged in an accident and the bodywork must

be repaired in such a way that the dimensions of the bodywork
deviate from the original dimensions, the bodywork dimen‐
sions are no longer compensated that results in the linked
mechanical components being affected. This also has an effect
to the dynamic driving characteristics of the vehicle (pulling the
vehicle, irregular wear to the tyres, reduced road adherence,
etc.).

GETtheMANUALS.org
León 2013 ➤ , León ST 2013 ➤
Note
Depending on the type of accident the vehicle has been subjected

to, the most suitable check points and housing should be chosen
to position the bodywork on the straightening jig. For this, it is
necessary to use at least three reference points which have not
been damaged in the accident. It is preferable to use the fastening
points from mechanical elements.

Note

The electronic straightening jig is based on an electronic program,

capable of obtaining different data possibilities before, during and
after repairs.
a - Reference measurement verification: Protected by copyright. Copying for private or commercial purposes, in part or in whole, is not
Used to check whether the points are within the manufacturer's
standards.
b - Symmetry control:
The vehicle symmetry inspection consists of:
– Measurement of the vehicle symmetrical plane.

GETtheMANUALS.org
León 2013 ➤ , León ST 2013 ➤
– Verification of symmetry (in accordance with the plane) at cer‐

tain points.
– Calculation of the distances between the points measured.
c - Definition of a personalised data sheet:
Used to increase the reference points, based on the manufactur‐
ers data sheet, in order to individualise a sheet.
d - Repair module:
Used to follow the repairs in real time.
Note
The electronic bodywork measurement system - VAS 5200- is

compatible with the MZ universal workbench - SAT 5310- , for the
use of which, however, the "Naja" - SAT 5405- set of clamps is
required for the electronic straightening jig.

14.4 Laser weldingProtected by copyright. Copying for private or commercial purposes, in part or in whole, is not
With laser welding, a high-energy light beam is directed by means
of optical lenses or fibre optics onto the weld point.
During the welding operation the top panel is melted through and
the bottom panel melted on the surface; in this way a weld is
formed without any filler material.
When performing repairs, the laser weld seams are replaced by
SG plug weld seams or RP spot weld seams.
14.5 Repair methods for replacing body parts

When making repairs, welded joints can be used in place of all
spot-welded bonded joints and certain bonded joints if no suitable
body adhesive is available.
Do not make the repair with only the same spot welds or seams
as originally used in production as these alone are not adequate.
The repair methods are presented in detail on the pages which
follow.

GETtheMANUALS.org
León 2013 ➤ , León ST 2013 ➤
Note
♦ If the instructions call for additional spot welds, these should

be applied in a single operation.
♦ Do not place new spot welds in between the original spot
welds.
♦ SG plug welding should not be performed until after spot weld‐
ing.
♦ This avoids any increased shunt current when spot welding.
Ensure good root penetration at all joints.

Seal off repaired joint flanges and apply cavity sealing where
necessary.
