Thats great Jazz, a real comfort I'm sure. You know what, having to read your posts that go on for ages about euro cars with great fuel economy and how they are very cost effective to service (annoy) me off. Euro while nice to drive, are expensive to fix. End of .

Refurbished trans for $5500-$7500 Jazz! Wow you got caught lying again.

"You couldn't be more wrong. DSG offers better reliability, easier servicing and significantly better economy and power. Its the perfect transmission for everyday vehicles.
I don't see how it could cost you 10K when you can buy a new complete replacement transmission for under 3K delivered."

Kelsie, all jokes at jazz expense aside, go back to the dealer, ask what they can do for you. Liase with mechanical breakdown insurance company, get some free legal advice ( I know this is not able to be acknowledged without paying for actual legal representation) arm yourself with the facts and get a close family member involved. With tact, I am sure with what you have paid for the vehicle, and within a relatively short timeframe before it failed, you should get a result you are happy with, either which way. Good luck

Just another overrated euro. Been there done that and went running back to the faithfull jappa. And this is why 99% of us seem to stick to japanese/australian.

Just found a gearbox for my Corolla on TM. $250. Not that it needs it!
Hey in five years time my currently 27 year old Corolla will be worth the same as the Golf!

Oh gosh! I didnt buy the car on Jazz's advice THANK YOU!
Regardless of type it still shouldnt do this in 4 months!All the time wasters in this thread should LEAVE as I need advice on how to sort the issue.If I didnt say what kind of car it was I bet id only have a few posts of good advice

Best advice I can give you is to re-read what Kaz has said and ignore everything else. What he has said is bang on and you are completely covered under the consumer gaurantees act. Leave the dealer to sort it between himself and the Insurer.

So DSG was not made to be thrashed.maybe you should express your concerns to engineers who developed the Bugatti Veyron.
And 'Kelsie' is a female.

So according to jazz in this thread a refurbished trans is $5500-$7500, yet in the other thread to buy this actual car he says they cost $3000 delivered for a new complete replacement transmission! which is it! This is better than shortland street!

One is the price for a transmission.
The other is the price for a transmission, car shipping, labour to the old one out and put the new one in and set it up, transmission fluid etc.

Morning kelsie,
Unfortunately the thread has filled up with knuckle dragging trolls as expected.
Ultimately my advice is this, while the warranty company and car dealer should/will be called upon to take responsibility. Keeping yourself informed of the options and process step by step could ultimately save you any more expense and hassle than is necessary.
Just leaving it to the two parties to fix for you may turn out O.K but as you can see from the stupidity from dealers and mechanics in this thread many in the trade should not be trusted.
I am curious to see if Qualitat think it is a clutch pack which I expect to be a $600 - $900 part. If it is and they are confident of that, it may be something that could be fitted locally. That said, if sending it to Auckland turns out to be the best thing to do then thats not really a big deal. So long as its going somewhere competent who will do a proper job without exceeding your total claim limit. Sending it up there is unlikely to add much time to the repair process as shipping the car should be quick and easy and not really take much longer than shipping the parts.
If you havn't read all my posts since you stopped posting yesterday evening please do. I would particularly like to know if you got the transmission serviced.
I will pop in throughout the day to see if you need any help.

I admire your patience in this thread Jazz, no matter what the history you are trying to help someone with a big problem. It would be good if the trolls would go away, they have had their say.

Jazz you are the troll here. Kazbanz's advice is spot on, the dealer has an obligation to address this issue and needs to be the first port of call.

Kelsie, My advice is to ignore everyones advice including Jazz and listen to Kabanz , he is spot on with the process you are required to follow. If you dont follow this process it could cost you lots of money. A good dealer will want to help you (as long as you pass the attitude test , which is why Kabanz asked you to not blow a fuse).It might take time and you might be driving a stink loan car for a while but it will be fixed in the end Good Luck.
