GTI won't start

[AMG]

With a new engine....what way does this work as far as warranty goes now ?

You'd expect a substantial warranty with any new part...be it small or large.

Make sure you do pay something for the repairs though, if they are carrief out free of charge, then they have a get out clause, something about "warranty on warranty". Sister was advised to do this when her MINI was in for goodwill with Prentices.

Fantastic result, fingers crossed nothing changes.

Would you keep or sell it?

Might keep it and change the tensioner unit myself to a better one. Although I've two years and minimal mileage to add to it, so in effect I probably won't lose very much at all on it. May in fact make a profit!

Update? therock

 

[therock]

Nothing to update yet, took a spin down to agnews last night to see if it was lying about - and it was in the rear yard. Appeared to still be waiting on work to be done to it

 

[Boydie]

stripped for parts!

Give you a nice courtesy car?

Give you a nice courtesy car?

ha!

 

[therock]

Getting a courtesy now after a 'hint hint' phone call.

Apparently the turbo is damaged too, so that's to be replaced

awesome

 

[Ge0rge]

i know a fella that works in there i gave him a lift home last night and he said engine went in on friday? he also said there have been plenty others in like yours with the same issue.

 

[therock]

It's a hard choice between the two tbf. It went in Friday, but they needed to clock up a few miles to ensure all was well, picked her up at half 3 there.

 

[therock]

Uprated timing chain tensioner went in too, so the problem won't reoccur

 

[chunkerz]

Any charges?

 

[therock]

Minimal charges, but it comes with the two year warranty. Literally less than 5% of the overall cost of parts/labour

 

[big cyril]

That's a good result in the circumstances, fair play

 

[pablo]

awesome result. complete peace of mind and great come resale time.

 

[therock]

Probably not for trade in, but privately I'd imagine it would benefit any potential buyers

Good result there! Not often you hear positive stories about main dealers.
