Hi
My Wife bought a VW Sharon from a VW dealer. It still had part of its manufacturers warranty left to run so was supplemented with an approved warranty. While we were still in the approved warranty period the car started to have intermittent trouble reving over 2K (usually when cold or reved high after it has just started). We mentioned this to the dealer when the car was in for normal servicing and they investigated and said they could see nothing wrong. SInce the warranty has expired (February 05) the issue has become more frequent. We have had it back to VW and they have diagnosed turbo issues. The turbo needs to be replaced at significant cost (=A31100 p & l).
My question is - if this fault was missed by VW when the vehicle was under warranty should they not be held liable for this? I think this is a long shot, and we need to get the repairs done ASAP as I don't like to think of the missus having it cause issues when we have all of the kids in the car, but I would be very interested in anybodies experiences in this area.
Thanks
