After the car refused to start I called out VW assistance who where great and diagnosed cam shaft + another failure (error code G40!? ,co-incense!)

The dealer was excellent and took the car strait in , however one of the sensors is on vack order and will take 10-12 days to arrive.

Because my car is not â€˜off the roadâ€™ â€“ they donâ€™t think I can have a hire car?

Having spoken to the engineer he advised the car may misfire or cut out , basically Iâ€™m not taking the risk of running it around.

Does this sound right? no hire car, the car is used approved with warrantee â€“ should I get on to VW customer service?

Iâ€™m happy with the overall service , but why is such a part on backorder!?.

And to make it worse I was planning to go up and watch the vw/audi castle coombe track day event tomorrow! Grrrrâ€¦

Still , going to be looking forward to when its fixed - mabey it'll run even better!
