Hi All,
First, thank you for putting all this information together. Apologies if my questions have already been covered by this thread. I have read many of the pages, but there is quite a lot to read! A quick summary of my situation:
- 2009 (59) Golf GTi purchased November 2013 from Citygate High Wycombe. Mileage - 56K
- Bought with 1 year's extended warranty (no notification or renewal offered on expiry Nov 2014).
- Yellow EML warning light occurred when 15 miles from home. Engine running rough / lack of power.
- Next day engine wouldn't start to drive to dealership from home (turns over).
- RAC confirmed no compression and fault codes indicate timing chain has slipped. Camshaft turns.
Car is being recovered to Citygate High Wycombe as I write.
Given that:
- The car has only been serviced by VW franchised dealers.
- Car is now 6 years old with mileage around 76k.
- I have no warranty
What do you think my chances are of getting (some of) this paid for by VW?
What is the best approach to getting work done discounted/free?
Thanks.
