Feel ur pain dude.

Screw in the tyre 3 days after collecting the car. Reluctantly took it in to get repaired, car still looking at is it did on day 1;

Me; please take care with the wheel, it's 3 days old.
Him; yeah of course,

10 mins later puncture repaired and a nice gauge in the top/face of the rim. Probably the crow bar even though it's plastic coated apparently.

At the very same time I was standing outside whilst the manger spoke to the fitter, I received a text from a friend to tell me his brother had died the evening before.

Puts it all in perspective really doesn't it...

SNAP!!

Iv had a nightmare iv only had my gtd for a week an its back in the retailers with a big rattleing noise coming from the engine. So after a couple of hours of it going in on the monday they couldnt rectify the problem (an i thought these were good mecanhics!)
So listen to the next part they had to contact the factory in germany for a code becoz they think one of the pistons arnt in line and need calibrating. so next morning they get the code and takes them 4 hours to fix and line up the piston on computer, take it out for a test drive everything was fine the noise was gone. they now needed to take it for a 2nd test drive next mintue the noise re-appears now at this stage u could know how i feel. so now they,ve had to record the noise on a ipad and send it off the the factory iv never heard anything like it,anyway the factory has now told my dealer to order injectors but not fit them until they get the go ahead form the factory. to top it off iv only recieved a courtesy car today and it was a VW UP becoz a customer hasnt returned a car what im ment to take until he brings it back il have to stick with the up. an i always thought it should be like for like iv had a nightmare trying to get a courtesy car off them aswell and also heartbroken to see a brand new car what is only a week old an for that to happen is beyond me.

well thats what i thought at the beginning but if u hear the noise on the car it doesnt sound nice but there nothing wrong with the performance of the car definitely something not right about it, trust me to get the bad batch!
