Did someone say a new engine?

[Teutonic_Tamer]

In all honesty im not happy at all about this 'defect' that has happened 

Sh!t happens.  Just be thankful it is all being done under warranty. 

Im thinking it will lose value due to the new engine as it will be recorded on the cars history and to be honest I dont think I would buy a second hand car that has had to have a new engine.

Shouldn't be an issue.  Just make sure, demand if necessary, that you get a "warranty invoice" for the engine change from your stealer - then at least you can prove easily that it was all genuine.

Not too bad.  At least it is a Dub.  And has the correct number of doors!   

BTW, where are you from, cause that number plate is near to my locale?

WTF was that pic taken?  Looks like some chav has tried to steal it at a scrap yard! 

Im from Yorkshire, not far from Leeds.

The car was outside the workshop, not sure how they got it outside with the engine like that, which is propped up by a tyre.

One of my centre caps seems to have gone walkies aswel, looks like theyve chipped it out with a screwdriver.

Ahh.  Just wondered why you had a car from East Anglia - Peterborough actually! 

Probably pushed the car out to clear a bay whilst the wait for the engine.  Bit odd that they removed the box but left the engine in though?    Unless it was just for diagnosis.

Caps and valve covers do tend to disappear.  They will have to sort it though.

How would I go about getting a better rental car?

I mean I have given them my E30 and they have given me a 1.2 polo 

The guy that delivered it said they do loads of different cars so would I ring VW to get them to sort it out? and what could be my excuse?

EDIT: Just rang them and they said they should have supplied like for like, by that I think they mean Golf for Golf rather than ED30 for ED30??

They are getting on the case and getting me a Golf or better she said before the weekend.

Cheer up mate. It will be like new when you get it back In the mean time you can appreciate how nice it is to have a great car

You will love it twice as much when its back!!

[Edition30]

Yeah I suppose...just really miss the power more than anything. All these young lads in Mercs and BMW's that I could easily see off in the E30. I have trouble seeing scooter of in the Polo 

Complained anyway so should be getting a new rental car soon, said a Golf, Jetta or Passat depending on what is available. Also complained to the supplier about the E30 and said when its fixed take it up and they will see if we can come to some arrangement, I said I want a new car so maybe a Pirelli is in the pipe line....prefer the E30 in all honesty but meh!!

AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH NOT HAPPY

Got rid of that Polo and they got me a brand new Jetta 2.0TDI not bad for a rental but no E30. Anyway rang VW and they said my car was ready so picked it up at 5 all going well then booom no turbo 

Took it back down and they have given me a Golf f'in Plus...I WANT MY F'IN CAR BAAAAAACK FFS.
