Title: News from the dealership...
Post by: glasgowdubber on March 07, 2016, 12:20:40 pm
Put the car in this morning (or the Mrs did), for the DSG oil and filter change, she's just had a call to say theres some major issues...

CV Boot on the drivers side is broke
Wheel bearing is spinning (just had the opposite side replaced 2 weeks ago)
Rear spring is broke.

1 of the tyres is round the wrong way :|

I bought the car at the end of December, I'm not mechanically minded at all, but this is a shock.

Only 4 weeks ago I had the ABS/ESP/Tyre light come on, searched on here and is common when a bearing is gone, my mate scanned the car and replaced the damaged bearing, and now theyre saying the opposite sides needing done.

What should I be expecting for the work?

I'd say ok..... I have a mate who owns a garage so will get it done over the weekend

Then just get car back and, either get mate to do it (if you know a mate) or get good price from independent garage :)

yeah just get it back.

some idiot Tyre fitters out there.

make sense for both bearings to go if they have been in the same amount of time.
