Pa55aT Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Hi all I am sure someone posted a while ago with a similar problem but I cannot find it. My wife bought a Golf GTI on an x plate, the dealer gave it a 3 month warranty. The car has been back 3 times as the emissions light keeps coming on about 50 miles after they have fixed it. They have not fitted any replacement parts and I fitted a maf myself as I was getting fed up with them just reseting it. The light came back on as usual, so at least the maf is ruled out. The dealer has not yet refused to fix it but is starting to become a bit more awkward. The warranty is up in 3 weeks, so I think htey will then try and wash their hands of it. What are my options, I assume it would be difficult to reject the car as I have allowed them several attempts to rectify the fault and it was a used car. The only other way I think I can do it, is by posting them a recorded letter giving them seven days to rectify the fault and if they dont then I would have it repaired at VW and submit the bill to them or via the small claims court. Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullett Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Go to trading standards and CAB. Engage a solicitor You have given them plenty of chances to resolve the issue and they have not done so. So I think they should either fix it, pay to have it fixed or give you a refund. If they do fix it get them to re-start the warrenty . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edo Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 They cant wash their hands of a fault that started before the 3 month warranty ended. Reject the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pa55aT Posted September 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Thanks for the replies The garage are going to clear the fault and change a sensor, if it reappears they have agreed to book it into a fuel injection specialist. Heres hoping they ort it. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobes49 Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 They need to set the readiness code before leaving the garage this should show the fault up without doing the upto 50 miles. Readiness code info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
