Turbo exploded

[Rhyso]

VW jokers £8500 for a new engine Looks like mr car robbers breaking into my house soon 
 Bought 7 cars in 5years from a VW dealer, 140,000 worth of cars have been bought by my parents or myself. warrenty is 10,000 miles out yet they carn't cut me a proper deal said they'de take 3000quid off £5500 for engine lol. Cars prolly worth like 9-10grand. Feel like fkin cancellin my MKVI god knows where im gna dig this dough out from, Think its time to put some lights back up 

what a fooking joke!! I presume its got full service history too??

as already mentioned i'd be pushing for a goodwill contribution

Sorry to hear it 

I'd tell them you have to cancel the mk6 if they can't sort it out for a reasonable price. Are you trading it in?

Also ask how much the labour is and a breakdown in costs. Maybe worth supplying a second hand engine?

2nd hand engine off ebay/breakers for a grand, someone competent could have it all in and working in 2 days... i'd say even if things don't go fully according to plan you could have it sorted for less than 2k.

There goodwill is £3000 quid off, Sounds reasonable when you put it like that, However thats still £5500, Makes me sick im passing them 27,000 on Tuesday treating me like a right thingy, Bought new from them on an 07 new full service history with them also, Done like 70k in just over 2years lol, Warrenty expired. Wouldn't budge on £5500. unacceptable really. I asked how much would they give me for car as it stands and they said nothing

If you bought it from them new and have also always had it serviced by them (not to mention all the cars you've bought) then you need to puch much harder for goodwill. Go to VW customer service about it too. All they can say is no.......

They can do better than £3k off.

Personally, I would cancel your order for MK6 GTI and go elsewhere.

Another option is to squeeze them as hard as possible for a parts discount, then get the engine fitted by an indy.

they should be able to advise you further as my missus (works for Trading Standard) reckons you can push for a lot more

Awful news chap, sorry to hear that..

Have they already agreed a trade in value for your mk5 (I'm assuming you intended to part-ex here)

If so I would get it trailered into the car park "ready" for trade in. Hopefully by the time they try starting it up and moving it round the back you will have paid, signed, and drove off

Popped just as it was coming onto full boost, Loads of smoke came out of the back of the car. No warning lights no nothing.
