Polo Problems & Fix Register

[LoriJarrod]

Just had a look at the service sheet for the car from last week.

- Battery dead. Charged.
- Power steering fault occurred. Alternator found to be faulty.
- Alternator replaced. Problem appears to be fixed.

No mention of checking tyre pressure or noticing that the coolant was almost empty.

They failed to mention that there was a major electrical malfunction found 24hrs before delivery. This is rather annoying.

We decided not to leave the car with Denlo and sort the problems out locally. (Newcastle)

I'll firstly replace the battery. I've had a few dead cells in previous cars that don't fully charge, and found it brings to life lots of electrical gremlins.

Just out of curiosity.. is there a thread to find out where is the best service centre for VW in each state... Moss Vale automotive group are dodgey

As far as my wife's concerned, we should get the car fixed and keep it, because we'd be rescuing her from an abused home. (god help me)

lol

g'day Jarrod. did you buy the red gti with a sunroof in the denlo showroom?

i was very close to buying that car. also found that during my time at denlo that the service was pretty bad. i made an appointment to see a salesman, but didnt get served until an hour after i arrived. was offered a coffee after about 45mins, i asked for 3 (mum and brother were with me) and they never came. plus the saleswomen treated me like an idiot, (throwing in free car mats). i'd rate my denlo experience pretty poor with the exception of the finance consultant who was very helpful.
