Hi all,

 

VW dealer charged almost £700 first time when took the car to them for Engine management sign. This was after 70% discount :x. Invoice had EGR & particulate filters work done. It was on 17th Sep.

 

A week after, same sign came on dash and took it back to the dealer. Now they saying that they need to replace rear EGR valve and wants £600 :-x. Decided not to go ahead and requested to get the car back. Will be asking for printouts for diagnostics and quotation.

 

Don't know what are our rights on this matter but shouldn't the dealer try to fix for free for the same fault that was charged but not fully fixed?

 

At the moment, we're trying to write to parent company and to VW UK. But if goes nowhere, where and how can we proceed further?

 

Car is VW Sharon diesel 2015 reg and not in the list for recall.

 

Thanks.

When did you buy the car?

Car was bought on Dec 2016. It's not on the list for recall i.e emission fix. I've already checked on the BazzaS's above link before posting. Came with 3 years warranty but last time when battery needed replacing they refused saying that Dashcam was used. The car has already covered more than 60k and warranty is only valid either for 3 years or 60k.

 

Yes DPF :razz:. I'm posting on behalf of family member.

 

Edit: dealer refused to give quotation on new fix.

They refused a warranty claim because you plagued a dashcam in???

That's the most ridiculous thing I heard this week, and believe me, I'm surrounded by clowns.

I would change garage next time you need anything, they seem to be in business to rip people off.

Name and shame.

Received reply back from dealer. The car does have 2 EGR Valves and pictures were sent. But the questions remain:

1) Is it not the dealer's responsibility to inform of total no of EGR Valves that could be at fault?

2) On failing to inform, once the front EGR valve replaced and the original EML fault still ON, shouldn't the dealer has responsibility to repair 2nd EGR Valve free of cost under their warranty?

3) Either both EGR valve needed repair/replace or the front EGR valve actually had no fault at all.

 

So where do we stand here?

 

Thanks.
