All-in plan warranty declined

[J99kom87]

2018 150ps T6

After some advice to see if anyone has been in this predicament before, flashing glow plug light came on last week took it to a vw van centre who diagnosed it as intake manifold valve, back and forth since Thursday last week to be told today that vw warranty have declined it based on that carbon has caused the fault.

The dealer has said in the report that it’s not the soot that’s caused the issue and it’s in fact an electrical fault.

What’s the chances of this being overturned, vw have already said no goodwill will be offered. So I’m going to be left with a £1500 bill.

Am I correct in saying that vw have modified the intake manifolds due to failure?

Thanks in advance

Would a EGR delete and remap help reduce the chances of this happening again?

What’s the chances of this being overturned,

I would think the dealer is best placed to answer that, if they have diagnosed an electrical fault there must be a method to the diagnosis.

They’ve just said 50/50 chance, they reckon that vw warranty have mis-read the report.

this is just to see if anyone else has had any success in similar circumstances.
