@Dellmassive`s T6 T32 Sportline 204 LWB DSG PV MY18 - Van Adventure

[Dellmassive]

Ain't that the truth. Final quote is in at 8k plus VAT. Fly wheel, Gearbox and offside driveshaft.

Just getting a quote of a VW approved garage at the moment rather than main dealer. They are coming in at 7k so a grand cheaper, but I'm already into VW for removing the gear box and their diagnostic charge so by the time I've trailered the van to the other garage I don't think I'd be any better off.

And is that for a brand new shiny DSG.... ?

Where as an Indy may be able to rebuild your box....? And fit a new dmf and drive shaft.

Also if you are paying VW for the parts you can ask for the old DSG back... Then that can be reconed, so worth some residual value.

I've just had a new DSG and DMF in the Bus, it was £8k. due to it leaking oil. (Not the drive shaft issue) ( Supplied and fitted by VW) ( 100% covered by All-in)

But it was out of stock for months !!!! I hope they have sorted there supply chain.

Indy quote is for a brand new box. VW are saying box is OS for a couple of weeks.

Jeez... I hope they have given you a courtesy van... A nice new T6.1 maybe?

Well that didnt work out as i expected. . . . . .

booked van into VW for:

All-In, MOT is Due, (apparently I've used my allowance so this one is chargable?)

ALL-In service for new engine - 6K miles first oil change (i had a service still due under ALL-IN)

80K miles DSG service, (this is chargeable)

so we have:




++++++

So Ballz - the rear spring has snapped and falled out,

Plus rear tyre showing the cords. . .

both these now mean

A - No MOT Pass,

B - Cant drive the van


+++++++++


double ballz


luckily i have a full set of suspension in the garage and a full set of tyres - two with goo tread.


++++

this is what the springs looked like,

they are OEM Sportline ERBAK Sportline T32 (-40mm drop from standard apparently?)



looks rusty - so it must have happened a while ago.






+++++


the spare set of susspension i have is from a standard T32 ( not lowered)


that gives us this A=TEAM style jacked up at the back with a rack - sloping down to the front.




...


oh yeh, and the wheel.


the two spares with good tread i had were from the Black sportlines i had.

so VW swapped the wheels for me,

and swapped the rear springs for me.


all so that we could complete the service works - and get the MOT passed.


happy days.

 

[Dellmassive]

so what did it cost?

well VW had quoted me £312 for the DSG sevice,

and £45 for the MOT that was out of ALL-IN.

and £0 for the small serice - covered by all in.

then they said an hours and a bit for swapping the rear springs, and tryres - about £190.


+++++


the service got signed off all ok.




+++

next up was the paid for stuff. . .




++++++++++

Amazballs. - £352.40


they have billed me for ther MOT & DSG, and thats it.


the didnt charge me for the wheels swap,

the didnt charge me for the spring swap.

they didnt charge ne for the 25 plate T6.1 loan van i had all day.

top job and service from VW Chelmsford. - well done guys.


+++++++++++


now as for the brocken spring, and leaking adblue injector, well thats got to be covered under the ALL-IN package.


so Amy and the team at VW Chelmsford are getting a reort sent over to VW for warrenty job for the springs and injector.


im waiting to hear back from them within the week.


all being well, ill get a new T32 rear spring/s back into stock,


and get the van booked in for the adblue injector - bearing in mind that we just had a new engine fitted 5k miles ago.

Credit where credits due......

We all have bad experiences with some dealers but some DO provide a good service......(my new to me approved used T-Cross needs new pads after just 6k miles)
