• Vauxhall Zafira - Bad used car dealer 8 Mar 2013 (Forum)
  After the 4th issue with the car in so many weeks and after their warranty had ran out they washed their hands of us and now were left with a car that we have zero confidence in. Needless to say were now cutting our losses and trying to part exchange the car for a more reliable one.

• Vauxhall Crossland - Garage refusing repair under warranty 15 Aug 2023 (Forum)
  The question is the car is still under warranty they have all evidence that Vauxhall approved parts have been used, how are they able to even question whether the claim. It seems to me that Vauxhall will be fighting Vauxhall.

• Black Boxes to monitor tuning mods 15 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  It seems that without full engine monitoring, with owners removing their tuning boxes prior to their main dealer servicing, manufacturers are currently picking up the tab for expensive engine rebuilds under warranty. In future once black boxes are fitted, all ECU mods and tuning devices will be detectable and not only will the vehicles warranty be invalidated, but the true vehicle`s history will be made available to the used car buying public.
• Volkswagen Touran MPV (2003 - ) - 05 1.9tdi out of warranty major repair bill 10 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  They say it requires a new turbo, catalytic converter and exhaust system. VW have offered 50% as a goodwill payment. This leaves us will a bill of around £1,400. Is this resonable? Do I have any other lines to pursue? I have stalled them as they have had the car for 10 days (no courtesy car offered) while they've been waiting for an answer from VW.

• Warranties:be aware 3 Dec 2001 (Forum)
  I have recently had some warranty work (used car) carried out by a well known Rover main dealer in SE London. I had a lower radiator outlet pipe split. I took the car to the dealer and explained the exact fault - I even drew a diagram for them!
• Buyers Experience - Motorpoint, Carsite, Skoda etc 30 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  I also deduced they were not the seller as such but acted as an agent like Ebay. So there was no comeback or warranty with them... you had to buy the warranty on top. Just not the way we wanted to deal. 3/10 Next we went to Motorpoint. As we got out of our car intending to look over their stock a sales guy detached from a group and almost ran over to us.

• Main Dealer Stamps - How important? 9 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  So, how important are the dealer stamps? How much does it reduce the value of the car? (both private and trade-in value). The other problem with using a local garage is that I won't be getting the stamp to keep the corrosion warranty valid. But I've read that corrosion warranties are not worth the paper they are printed on.
• VW Eos 2011 - Likely Small Claim outcome? 10 Aug 2017 (Forum)
  The dealer wants me to reject the car so he can bill me for any damage that he doesn't accept. If i take a case in small claims court, do I stand a realistic chance of getting the VW or non-VW repair costs as compensation? This used car still functions as a car etc.
