What do I do to prove my car is faultless?!

On another thread on a PCV problem i had a look at the You Tube videos and if your car drives ok as per the earlier post on the faults associated with the EGR valve the only thing would to strip it out and check it for carbon build up.
It might be on VW system try taking it to another VAG group dealership. Same platform. I used to take my VW to the Seat garage which was local. VW were happy from a service book stamp.

They won't take Audis word for it, it HAS to be VW for some reason?!

Not liking how sly they are being. . .

I know, but in order to prove to VW head office that they've tried ripping me off on numerous occassions they want me to take it to another VW dealership ( and they won't listen to anybody else for some reason. )

Not letting this go, really annoyed me this time!

I know the cars mechanically fine, as I say, its been looked over by myself and numerous mechanics!

But even if you proove it whats that achieved.  Nothing will change at the dealership or VWuk.  Your a small fish in a huge ocean of fish. imo you are just wasting time and money to proove a point that will make no difference or change anything.
The dealerships are independent companys to VWuk. VWuk use a call centre type company for customer service...
The health check form is known as an up selling tool in the industry, I know exactly how that form works...

Last time my mk6 was in it had cambelt needed changing on that form.. when its a chain! The time before that I walked in to collect my car with a friend who worked at the dealership chains other branch and he was in full uniform. The response was "You dont need this" and they hid the healthcheck form.
If you think challenging them makes a difference you may be disappointed.

Very frustrating, however the dealership aren't liking my campaign against them as they've contacted me on numerous occasions telling me to stop tweeting, And leaving reviews against them until I've been back into that branch? ( I've not ) search corkills wigan on google and hopefully you'll see my reviews haha!

I'm not letting them touch my car after this, they'll probably cut my cambelt In half haha!

I've booked the car into a couple of dealerships under a false plate for a free health check, can't wait for the results, I know I'm a small fish in a big ocean, but if it damages the dealers reputation further and I've warning others and hopefully preventing them being ripped off then I'm happy haha!

But had my mum taken my dads car in and they said it needs all this, she would have just done it, I know they're a business, but an unneccaery £2100 repair bill is a bit to far this time.

This is forgetting the fact that they passed my MOT and then 200 miles later on the service the brake pads were down to the metal and the car was unsafe to drive ( and I needed my alloys refurbishing again because the iron filings wouldn't come off - this annoyed me! )

So today I've been to Warrington VW And Inchcape VW and no one has found any issues with the EGR Valve! Warrington found NOTHING wrong with it, where as Inchcape found that the engine oil ( from my service last week ) was OVERFILLED!!! They also found some bump stops and bushes that need replacing that no one else picked up?!

No one found the actual under lying issue ( reverse light )

What to believe!?!
