not all dealers are like this i hope. chances are the water pump is broken or will be when they drop it when you ask for it catch my drift!!!! keep your cool when there and ask to speak to some important and express your concerns about the diag and ask for a full explanation from start to finish how they come to find that the car first need a cambelt-waterpump then theromosate and housing and now a heat flap what next climate control unit or cooling fans??????

who knows i will be wanting discount please on what you have had done and if you find something fishy about the diag then maybe some free labour for mis diagnosing the car. But like you say not much faith but dont tarnish everyone with the same brush mate

thing is like i have said somewhere in this topic i am myself a technician, but ford!!

i would have done the job myself but i had nothing but a "think" the waterpumps failed! it wasnt good enough for me to do the job and after i had done it where do i stand then with it still blowing cold air! apart from out of pocket and doing pointless stuff that didnt need doing! in the end it would have to go back to vw to be looked at again! so i thought while its there and im not to skint let them do it! big mistake i guess but who else has the equipment as good as main dealers to investigate such problems like this. i guess i just wont be using them again, simple as that and now my cambelt and waterpump have been changed its unlikely they will fail or need replacing before i sell the car.

they told me i would be getting the car back tomorrow this morning, but they said that 4 days running now... so who nos could be tomorrow could be wednesday!

just outta interest where the hell are the heater flaps and what kind of job is it to replace... any ideas?!

the heater flap is locatated behind the glove box in the left hand corner and is a pig to fit also it needs to be put into basic setting with the climate unit when fitted. how much they quoted you then ?
