Is the fault what the title suggests? A brake pipe. Sad to hear u've got issues with ur Boc. I'd have thought brake parts would have been VAG standard anyway, but then I don't know much about VAG, techie probably does.

Which stealer is it at?

Hey mate thanks for the reply,

the brake pipe thats all i have been told & that it needs to be custom made,

Its the seat branch in linwood ( paisley ) scotland

although the cars sititn in the volskwagen garage in linwood

 

[EdHorny]

Custom made, but they've still had it for a few weeks... Weird. I wouldn't be able to help, but it is a shame. I'm loving my Boc atm. Have they given you a courtesy car or anything?

Ye mate from italy i have been told, 2 weeks ago i was told 10 days max, when i phoned on monday to get an update i was told the factory havent even produced the part and that there was no E.T.A on it such a gutter , im 20 n ma insurance isnt very friendly haha

Ye am drivin about in a 1.2 polo, bit of a comedown haha,

hows ur boc u enjoyin it lovely to drive aint they

 

[EdHorny]

Yeah she's a beast mate. Proud of it tbh. Had the brakes upgraded a couple of weeks back, well chuffed now, I was one of the first to get theirs.

I hope your parts come soon and you get it back, I've never driven anything less than a 1.6 (apart from the Boc, but that's not an ordinary 1.4) so I can't imagine how hellish a 1.2 is when u've got a beast awaiting repair. LOL.

One of the pipes in my engine bay was knocking strutt or something, techie sorted it when he did my brakes, cos he had the same issue and knew what to look for. I love the build quality of these cars, compared to a french car anyway, shame there are small things like ur brakes upsetting the balance.

Look on the bright side, ur not clocking up the mileage on it. LOL

Ye am drivin about in a 1.2 polo, bit of a comedown haha,

Get then to give you a proper loan car !!!

I had similar crap from my Audi garage when a nearly new A4 was off the road for a week when the cam belt slipped off . I ended up driving the Managers own company car after a few days

 

[Graemeb_dj]

Due to my age mate they wont let me touch anything bigger than a 1.2,

It should be like for like although the world just aint that nice is it

 

[techie]

When did you get the whistling noise?

Not come accross this one myself

 

[Graemeb_dj]

I first started to hear it on the 27th, was only happening when accelerating, got worse so took to the seat dealership on the 6th and it was put into the garage on the 7th.

What i was told was the accelerator cable was rubbin off this pipe and it had snapped almost seazing up the brakes

 

[techie]

Odd, doesnt have an accelerator cable, but sounds like a servo pipe issue, lots of pipes down the front near the vacuum pump, probably one of them and unique to the DSG Ibiza so probably why there is a supply issue.

 

[Graemeb_dj]

Sorry may have been my misunderstanding,

Awft still havent had an E.T.A,

Any idea how i should go about this or jst take it on the chin and wait ?


Thanks in advance

 

[techie]

Just be understanding mate (im sure you are) sometimes we struggle getting the parts, its not anyone at the dealers fault, they would like to get the car gone im sure. It just happens from time to time. Look at all the new Boca owners on here, so far your the only one with a major issue like this, your just sadly unlucky.

 

[Graemeb_dj]

Ye mate i can understand,

Just a bit of built up anger, due to the amount of money i am forking out monthly for this car, then gettin told from the garage that they dont have a time when we can get the car back to me.

Ye i havent heard anything of this fault after hours of net browsing,

Thanks anyway bud , sound advice

 

[Graemeb_dj]

Received a phone call today from salesman who sold me my car, that the part will be in paisley on the 5th of february,

Lets hope so since this was only an E.T.A

 

[Fl@pper]

at least you will be out the courtesy car soon hopefully

 

[craigboca]

Sounds like a pain the backside mate,how did you find dealing with them at Linwood?that's where I bought mine and I don't think il ever go back there I found their service shocking

is your car red by any chance?seen one in milngavie a while back

 

[John33]

This may be a very silly question

As the cars are being built right now in the factory where are the parts they are using ? I know they have very few to hand and they get used very quickly but they are clearly in production by some firm somewhere and shipped to Spain on a very regular basis.

So why such a problem getting a part ?

 

[techie]

More than likely its not expected as yet to be required as a spare and as they are very busy building all stock is being used in production.

Also suppliers of parts changes quite regularly so sometimes they are waiting stock from a new supplier after previous stock has run out.

We just had the same problem with our cars. We bought 51 new e-class mercs and after 4k miles they packed up with an injector problem. These are the blue efficiency engines. That was last year october and they never had the parts and had to source new ones. We only got the last one back last week. 51 cars off the road for 4 months. We also have a problem with rear disc pads as they have not anticipated the cars doing such high mileage. Did they not think that fleet operators would do triple the mileage in half the time of a private owner?!! hahahahaha So trust me it could be a problem to source parts on such a new model. Patience mate i am sure you will have your ride back soon.
