electricpanda Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 They have nothing of any interest to me. I might see what they say if I suggest this swap or them paying for it fixing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricpanda Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Just got off the phone to mondial (thanks john!) he said from what I've told him it should be covered and to get VW to call him. However he said he can't force them to complete the work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I would say a trip to Trading Standards will be in order if you don't get satisfaction at this stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricpanda Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Just picked it up from Leeds, got the invoice to show it needs replacing. Phoned the service department manager at Wakefield and he said if I take it down tommorow after work and go for a drive, show him the fault then they'll fix it while I'm in the U.S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Good result. Also, I've been told that longlife servicing is cack on 1.8T engines. Whether it's true or not I don't know, but might be worth looking into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusgrant Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) Good result. Also, I've been told that longlife servicing is cack on 1.8T engines. Whether it's true or not I don't know, but might be worth looking into.My dad's a self employed mechanic and says that long life servicing is a load of cack really. The turbo on his t5 van went at 55k and he put that down partly to the long life servicing. Edited March 30, 2010 by marcusgrant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pro3mark Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Yeah, not as if they can make oil last longer, unless they use poor oil to start with.Hope it goes well for you, and you can relax whilst you're in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricpanda Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Just an update, dropped it off at VW. They agreed that if they strip it that sales will pay the labour! I'm happy now haha. Just hope they diagnose the same problem as Leeds did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
