Last March (2014) I bought the missus a Puggy 107 from a Peugeot main dealer. The car is a 62 plate and had 4000 on the clock. One owner and FSH.
It now has 7500 on the clock and has developed a 'shudder' during heavy braking.
I have had a similar shudder on a Ford in the past and am pretty convinced that the disc(s) are slightly warped.
I went into Peugeot today and asked if this would be a problem corrected under warranty or not.
The receptionist said she wasn't at all sure as brakes usually come under owner wear and tear replacement parts.
I pointed out that the brakes were defective rather than worn and she said they would take the car in and look at it but if it is indeed worn rather than defective but I would have to sign a disclaimer for the work to go ahead as chargeable which is fair enough to me but if I could be certain it is chargeable work then obviously I could probably get the job done much cheaper than Peugeot would charge. I was going to replace the car anyway in September when the MOT is due.
The dealer has always been very fair with me so I am not expecting a blatant rip off but where do I stand with the warranty and the fault being due to warped rather than worn discs if it does come to an argument?
TIA
