Stealer Nerves!!
« on: 08 April 2008, 10:51 »
I am now getting really nervous!  GTI 05 DSG gone in for 30k Service, MOT and for them to check out some stuff before the warranty runs out.

(Stealer - Slough Windrush)

When I dropped it off as I was signing the documents there was some chap demanding his money back from the service he had just paid for!  :shocked: now I am worried that they are going to make a right hash of my £150 oil change! At least it also gets a free software update which I have heard improves the responsiveness. Any way if all else fails I can always keep the 1.2 Polo they gave me as a 'courtesy' car!!

I will let you know what happens later... fingers crossed for now!

OK Got an update!!!

some points I raised with regards to warranty after reading through posts on this forum -

1 - intermittent slight clicking noise when turning steering wheel
2 - mentioned that one of the alloys had a white worm mark on it

They have come back and said -
1 - Replace steering rack - under warranty
2 - They will replace 3 wheels !!(18" monza II)  - under warranty unfortunately as one of the wheels had a curb mark on it they will not replace although I could pay £412.15 to replace it myself. hmm don't think so but 3 new wheels are better than none!

Car in now for most of week as will take time to replace steering rack. Has not had MOT nor has the service been completed but will let you know more when I know.

Cheers,

Ryan

sounds like a result. well done,...you have motivated me to get mine (05/55) in for a check on the steering rack!! That said, I have no faith in my dealer at all.

not as bad result, as for the one damaged alloy. is the warranty work near the kerbing ?, im guessing its the white worm ?, if worming is away from the kerbing then that alloy should be replaced also, seems most bizzare they admit to 3 for warrant but wont do other one due to kerbing !!

Result and good service. I'm sure you can source a single Monza II elsewhere :smiley:

Nothing on Pistonheads currently, but..............

This power steering issue is a little worrying  :huh:

The only thing I'd like to add is going straight out of a MY2006 GTI into a MY2008 ED30 the steering did feel lighter at low speeds  :huh:

The only thing I'd be thinking is that they now have more time to bu33er things up :sad:

Hope it turns out okay and let us know if they do good too. Nice to know the good guys as well as the bad :smiley:
