Had an email from the dealers to tell me that they have yet another alloy for my car :rolleyes:
I will be going over it in great detail before it even goes near my car.....I might even put my readers on :grin:
I feel your dread.

I hope they don't give it to the YTS trainee to fit the tyre!

Got the car back after
Changing the discover nav, seems to have sorted the problems
Drivers door speaker, sorted
Fixing rattles, still have one left
Sorting out the breaking problem, they said there was an update for the brakes :shocked:
The fuel filler that gets stuck, they cut a bit off the catch
Knocking rear suspension, turns out it was the exhaust
Auto hold not always working, it was sorted with the brake update
Keys not always recognised, recoded, seems okay
Problems with mirrors folding, dipping and indicator bulb, seems all sorted
Broken drivers seat, they got the wrong part :rolleyes:

Told them and had them write on the worksheet to not clean the car, also had my do not clean hanger on the mirror that I told them to not remove. Got there to collect the car and seen them from reception driving the car out of the workshop, waited 5 minutes and when outside to see that they hadn't washed the car but it was wet(the do not wash hanger was still there) after going slightly mad they told me it was to get tree sap from the windscreen. Not being stupid I knew that was bull so waited for the car to dry off a bit and what do you know they wet the car to hide a scratch on the car about 9" long.

fatherless sons  :angry: they have said they will sort it when it is back in for the seat.

That's not very good at all trying to hide damage that they had obviously done I would have gone ballistic and demanded a senior manager and then took it higher fo the deception..

I wanted a GTi - so sorry to hear that tale of woe, you must be absolutely fuming :angry: Total respect though for the way you are handling it. Hope they do sort it all finally, sounds like you are nearly there. As for rattles, I'm of the opinon now that they are impossible to eradicate completely, they just aren't built as well as they should be.

Maybe you should have gone with your heart.

After nearly four years and 50K My GTI is still sublime.


Then again maybe I'm not that fussy. Or maybe VW have given up on diseasals....
