Ah, believe it or not the one I gave the car to (not the original dealership) told me "you can get a replacement or walk out with the one we're giving you now" which is a 3.5k miles and pretty rough conditions being a 66 plate due to it being a rental. I said no and I reported the replacement issue to the person who I bought it from and he said he's going straight for a replacement.RUM4MO wrote:I'd agree with that thought, maybe after your car is fixed/replaced tell the dealer that as a parting comment?d-ash wrote:Could the noise be coming from the DSG box?
I wouldn't mention that you can hear the noise in the loan car. That would be VW's cue to suggest that what you're hearing is normal and to dismiss any claim for a replacement.
To the OP, I would not expect that the dealer would try to fob you off with that loaner car or any other used car, unless you were pushing for an upgrade and were willing to take a used R-Line GT off them, though as you are dealing directly with VW on this matter, maybe they will control which option is open to you.
I wouldn't mind a used GT as long as it's a 66 plate, however, I would like to opt for a new one as I got my current one like that. Do you think/have experience on what options I have if a) I go to the dealer and ask for an upgrade since the Match is giving problems to me and b) what are my options if VW deals with it directly and they decide what I can get. Would both give me the options to upgrade (ideally I am looking to get some sort of compensation through discount of the model I will go for) or will they try to get me the same car w/ the add-ons
