Hello & Help

You should try going back to the dealer and see what they say, maybe as a goodwill gesture they'll help you or at least diagnose it for free :happy2:

Hi,

Haven't been on for a while, will bring you up to speed of my problems.

2 months and 1 week after having the car the ' normal GTi engine rattle' got really bad, this was on top of the lack of power i was suffering with, so i took it to a local garage, they diagnosed a loose timing chain which was causing the timing to move. They advised me not to drive it incase it snapped, i was sh**ting myself by now so i rung the garage i had it from seeing as the warranty was only up by 1 week, they gave me 2 months warranty. They offered to have it in and they would look after us :pomppomp:

Anyway to cut the story short...they have now had it 5 weeks!!!!!! yes the timing chain has been done but they have now informed me that it has no oil pressure and that the sump is off and they have found another chain broken, i don't know but its seems they haven't a clue.

After lots of angry phone calls I have resorted to getting the finance company involved as it is their car until paid for in theory.
They have informed me that if it turns nasty they will confiscate the car and they will battle with the garage, hoping it won't resort to that. I can look for another car or cancel my credit agreement.

I really love this model of GTi but my heart says stick it out and get it back but should i walk away :confused:

Aparoon:
Push for your money back, walk away and find another  :wink:

u will never be happy with it now, get your money go elsewhere

Hibs:
Best to walk away if you have the chance! You'll only regret it when something else goes wrong in the future.
