Recalls...

[garethrobson]

Just had a phone call saying my ibiza is being recalled for a "non urgent" correction.

1: Gear stick cap (the plastic part on the top that shows the gears).
2: Airbag cable.

My gearstick cap snapped off a few months ago, and got reattatched at the dealership, so im guessing thats why that 1 is being recalled, not sure about the airbag cable though.

Not heard anything, but then, i did't hear anything about the previous two that mines had corrected, (airbag connection and brake something or other)

funnily enough, I noticed the other day actually that the gear stick cap was a bit loose.

 

[garethrobson]

thats how mine started then within a few days it was off completely.

hope mine lasts a bit longer, booked in for next thursday to sort that and the rattley handbrake button out

My airbag light has come on. Wonder if its linked??

 

[garethrobson]

give them a ring. Let us know what they say

 

[mardon]

Its going in tomorrow anyway. Will find out then.

how did you get on?

 

[mardon]

They said when they opened it up to have a look the air bag connector just fell apart. They had to keep it over night. Should be fixed today.

It also needs a new windscreen as the scuff (looks like a trainer skid mark right in my line of sight) can't be buffed out..

Not to happy, especially as i'm on temp insurance (£25 a day) until i'm 25.. (20th of this month). I'll have to insure the car again Saturday to go pick it up..

 

[nightflight]

chuffing hell, that works out as an annual premium of £9125! ouch.

 

[mardon]

I know its crazy! Not long now though. At least I can drive about on Saturday!

pi$$ed off at Admiral TBH. Got a quote a while back for 24 4years NCD and it came out at £517. Did it a month later £870!!! If I wait until the 20th is renewal time and i'm 25 so Greenlight will do it for £520 fully come protected NCD. Adrian flux £1500... FAIL!

 

[jc_boc]

Yeah and Adrian Flux is supposed to be the best to go to for modified and high performance vehicles. Their quotes are a joke.

 

[robin cur]

very much agree with that.

 

[Dave 77]

I got the same, 3 yrs NCB im 22 (2morro) Adrian Flux was 1500 then did a greenlight quote and its 850, hmm which one to go for

 

[jc_boc]

I really don't know Dave 77 hahahahahahaahaha

ha i insued my mk4 fr with them first year i had it
they quoted me £800 fine took it, month later they said actualy no we want another £100 off you cus ur under 25 not happy but alright payed it

they made a mistake and refunded me £100 instead so i had to fone em back and then pay em £200.

id avoid at all costs most decent insurance companys wont increase your premium for mods
i told my current insurer (churchill) that id remapped my mk4 fr n they just said o ok
no increase cost watsoever!

oh and when i swapped the inurance on to my new fr it costs me an extra £20 year + adding my girlfriend on the insurance cost another £12 for the year
and she had a claim last year too!

my fr was in yesterday, whilst it was there they did the air bag fix.

 

[mardon]

Mine is now sorted. It was an air bag connector. Not sure if this is the same thing. They said it was only on normal ibiza's but I find it strange that it would be different on the FR,s Boc and Cupras?

 

[Generic]

Should I be ringing up my dealership to ask if these issues need sorting on my 1.6TDi? Got the car beginning of Jan this year.

 

[golfgtipaul]

mine is a 1.6tdi bought in october last year. Mine has had the recalls done took about half an hour!
