04 leon failed 1st mot

[chriswilks]

really p*ssed off!!my car has failed its 1st mot!had a fault light on for a while but not had the time or ££ to get it sorted out.The fault that comes up is the o2sensor which was replaced by dealer so im guessing that is working and not really to blame so must be the cat due to the emissions being more than double what they should!
also just had it into seat for new bushes and anti roll bar which was causing a knocking noise.....seems it was the exhaust bracket had snapped!great work IMG!!WHY NOT CHECK THE BRACKET WHEN CHANGING THE SENSORS AND MAYBE SUGGEST A NEW CAT!

gonna get blueflame tb system put on there.ive given up with with my warranty now seems to be more hassle than its worth!anyone had enough of alot(not all)dealerships being as useless??

Just goes to show that if you have a fault light, it's usually for a reason and shouldn't be ignored!

the thing is it had the fault looked at and dealt with by seat.then it occured again and they basically said"must be the induction kit we cant do anything!"
not everyone can stop and get recovered or get a fault sorted immediately.it took 5wks last time i went to the dealers and booked a day off work,and they replaced something that was ok!just wish they could do a job and help people for a change.
dealers are usually your best friend when your buying then your enemy when something goes wrong.

nice to see it was fully diagnosed and tested when it was in the workshop rather than just stick a new sensor in cos the laptop said so


:sarcasm mode off:
