Warranty issues

mc_blue · 08-27-2011, 01:58 PM

Just out of interest what sort of things have you been back to the dealership for during the warranty period?

Sorry if this thread has been done before!

dxb335d · 08-27-2011, 02:13 PM

Steering lock issue.

scotgc · 08-27-2011, 10:41 PM

Steering rack replacement / steering wheel cover replacement (peeling laquer)
high gloss shadowline replacement / dipping passenger mirror motor replaced
Air filter inlet fitting coming loose, dealer fitted new.

Otherwise an excellent car, my 325d has been excellent !

dxb335d · 08-28-2011, 04:07 AM

I had red turbo boost hose re-fitted as it was coming slightly away.

Osian85 · 08-28-2011, 04:23 AM

• Tried for a wheelhub spray to hide rust, they usually charge for this but offered to do it for free next time its in for a service or any kind.

• Getting rear badge replaced on friday as its bubbling? almost like rusty bodywork does on an old motor.

• +1 for the 'High-gloss shadow line' trim thats bubbling too! also being changed friday.

Good idea for a thread by the way....

*EDIT* oh and i had new headlight washers painted and fitted when mine decided to lie down on the driveway when it snowed a bit!!!

mc_blue · 10-04-2011, 08:54 AM

That's a few things actually I'm surprised.

I've noticed the high gloss trim looks a bit crap and the rusty hubs too. Surely these should be sorted?

Didn't realise that happened with the steering wheel either.

Kerr · 10-04-2011, 12:20 PM

Actuators.

Injectors under recent recall.

Tinted rear windscreen replaced due to poor radio reception.

Headlamp washer. Lost one last winter.

SelSol · 10-04-2011, 01:29 PM

Boost solenoid

Various boost hoses

Turbocharger

Differential

Power Mirror

and an ongoing scuffing noise.....

Reggie-g75 · 10-04-2011, 02:28 PM

Will they really sort out the high gloss shadow trim and rusty hubs as part of the AUC warranty? My hubs are rusty and the trim looks a bit shite, mottled effect which I've tried to polish out and then waxed, but still looks crappy....

Cheers....

briers · 10-04-2011, 02:29 PM

curious as to what the age/mileage of your car is,as my trim is all speckled...
I've had a shock replaced and the temperature gauge kept showing -19,so they replaced the clocks.
£600 job for the latter work so worth the warranty alone!

Jules6 · 10-05-2011, 10:22 AM

Diff seals.

66k and that's all..... touch wood

Martin 335d · 10-05-2011, 03:08 PM

Diff Pinion Seal
Autobox software update
Red boost hose replacement

So far that's it

Mine is a 57 plate with 60k on the clock. The bodywork is surprisingly good, probably had a new front end! The trim is particularly bad around both wing mirrors. Tried to get on a pic, but hard to tell.

How bad did the leather look for them to sort it out under warranty?

coopersim · 12-13-2011, 01:57 PM

Steering wheel rubber cover
Two sets of wheel centers
Headlight washer caps and nozzles when they went south last winter
Stinky washer bottle
Leather bolster on drivers seat (no action taken)
Two alloy wheels that were peeling
Air intake hose clip snapped
Snapped ISO fix clips on rear seats
Oh yes, and a new auto gearbox!

m1bjr · 12-13-2011, 02:41 PM

Nothing at all.

Jules59 · 12-13-2011, 02:45 PM

1) central locking failure - several visits after which transponder replaced. But its going back in this week as its failed again and when pint 2 will be addressed.
2) adaptive headlight - RH headlight points in directions of its own choosing.

not much but its only done 20k miles in 2.5 years

dghdgh · 12-13-2011, 03:29 PM

rear alloy replaced as it had some small flaking spots.
