22000 ks and a blown gasget

[Kai]

Ive done 38000k's (apr'd most of it)

I thrash it from A-B daily. And have never had anything wrong.

[PoloGTi]

yeah the flash has nothing to do with a bolt lol.

[PoloGTi]

This is getting silly 3rd time now on sat night it went again back to the dealer monday morning. This is starting to get to me how can 4 bolts get so loose after such a short time have been using standered boost to see if it still went and yes it has. So over it grrrrrrr.

man that sounds mega dodgy that dealer sucks...

[PoloGTi]

Is it the dealer or vw how do bolts undo before the dealer touches it???? All i can do is keep getting them done up. When the dealer turns around and says what have you done to do this, how long untill they say no coz my car is chipped???

If they say that just say well there are xx amount of guys with similiar chips and nothing at all goes wrong with them. Still a prob after being nice just mention acc I dont see how it could be vw themselves as noone else here is having that prob. I would take it somewhere else and get a 2nd opinion.

Probably not a good idea to name them here. There is only one dealer in Tas. Its a shame though. I would think that the work experience "person" would have had it all checked after they had done the nuts up.
I hope it all gets sorted Rob. Might be seeing you real soon!?

[shaneth]

PoloGTi, mate its no good to hear of a fellow polo owner thats having such issues. i really hope that you get it sorted and soon. One question, why dont you take it to gtimk5 to see what he thinks. If i had the choice between a decent mechanic and the dealers i know where i would go. (pity i dont know any decent vw mech up here)

[DaveMack]

... might help. If they begin to see that you are serious about them not honouring warranty conditions, they might put someone senior on "bolt tightening" duties.

Good luck with it.

Ok so my Polo GTI has just ticked over 22,000ks and i have had the first prob.
Was driving at low revs down a hill when the car started to sound like a truck.
Took the car back to VW dealer and 3 dyas later found out that the bolts on the manifold and turbo were loose and the gasget had done, got the car back and 30ks later it happened again. Took the car back to VW and this time one bolt was missing 2 were loos and one was fine. Damn VW dealer i dont think in the first place the bolts were tight enough just hope this does not happen again. So if your polo does this i would not be suprised.
Cheers Rob

I think you deserve a free service for that. I'm serious, demand something for free. I'd be talking to APR about this just to be safe. It's true most chipped Polo's would be either here or on the tex, but just because we haven't heard bout this happening, doesn't mean it hasn't.
