Re: 1.4TDI bluemotion, engine temperature overheat warning

Follow on from earlier post. Rang Ombudsman & they said it would be necessary to prove an Inherent fault, by using a Witness Inspection Engineer's report, for them to take further action against VW Financial. This cost £175,so extra expense. I Said as Citizens Advice Bureau said I should seek re...

Re: 1.4TDI bluemotion, engine temperature overheat warning

Update to last post. VW Financial Services have written to say they would only be liable if at the time of purchase,the car was not of suitable quality,has been used for 35 months satisfactorily & therefore does not have an INHERENT fault. I choose to differ & will be contacting the Financia...

Re: 1.4TDI bluemotion, engine temperature overheat warning

Strange ! Just checked the end Nov Polo price list & lo & behold - NO 1.4 TDi engine. So what does that say about the one I & others are still driving ? Liabilities around our necks! Looking to get shut of mine very soon,early spring at latest. Fingers crossed,no recurrence of the INHERE...

Re: 1.4TDI bluemotion, engine temperature overheat warning

I don't know why there is an office in Sheffield. All I know is that when I had a problem with previous car-VW EOS,I was in contact with Sheffield. I know VW Finance is in MK. If anyone is interested in contacting Watchdog,the link I used is :- https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006mg74/contact. Perh...

Re: 1.4TDI bluemotion, engine temperature overheat warning

Follow up to previous posts. VW Finance just rang & advised they are only responsible for the first 6 months of an agreement,regarding recovery of outlay on a car. I mentioned that no one admits there is a problem,with what was a new engine in 2014,with INHERENT faults & that they are all su...

Re: 1.4TDI bluemotion, engine temperature overheat warning

No way,I took it with a tablespoon of salt ! It seems their standard response is to get the car diagnosed,then when they have it in their workshop,I suppose it's easier to say carry out the repairs. I think it's what used to be called a "closed shop",to keep both buying a vehicle & rep...

Re: 1.4TDI bluemotion, engine temperature overheat warning

Had a response from VW today. They wanted me to take the car to be diagnosed with the "faults" to a retailer. They obviously don't read emails. Rang them in Sheffield & chap I spoke to said in response, to my saying the car was not considered reliable enough to drive 15 miles for this,...
