Fair point. I'm thinking lovingly of my bicycle right now :lolol: At last its me who fixes it and me who gives me shit when the bugger still has its arse hanging out of its trousers . . . .

VW were not, certainly 5 years ago, They were on salary. That's why they were so different from Ford. But my problems were about servicing so, side issue. Cheers.

Good question. And back to my original post . . . they used to be fantastic, but they have got abruptly worse after the fuel fiddling episode (may be coincidence). I was wondering if anyone else has noticed a change. Down here the change is quite dramatic, and is reflected in staff behavior and...

Now THAT is brilliant advice. Many thanks :bowdown:

I thank you :cheers: I cannot possibly tell. Mind you, if I don't get the car back tomorrow . . . . :rant::lolol:

Yes! I am really looking forward to buing my next car. The VW is great (GTi) but it is not cheap to insure. And mine is 1 2005 model, so even the sat nav was a novelty when I bought it. These clever new cars not only do your parking and shopping for you (and allegedly some of the far eastern...

Let's imagine your quibble is genuine, and its not just the product of itchy pants and a feeling of lassitude, I'm not bothered if my VW dealer is owned and run by Germans with a PhDs in turbo design, and all related to the original Herr Volkswagen (and, yes, I know it means people's car, and...

:tumble: Silly me, of course they are completely unrelated, like cheese and the moon. Oh . . . hang on: http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/about-us/company/authorised-repairer http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/about-us/how-to-become-a-volkswagen-retailer :shrug:

Any VW owners out there notice a shocking fall in service standards lately? I have been using the same VW garage for 15 years. Bought 3 cars off them. They have always been decent (servicing), finger on pulse, courtesy car, do what they say they will, when they will. It has been geting worse...
