6 weeks ago I bought a 2002 Octavia estate TDi from a dealer in Portsmouth. The car had 104k on the clock and was sold with the dealers 3 month standard warranty. The turbo has been playing up and the car frequently goes into limp mode. A fault scan indicates that the turbo vnt vanes are sticking. (I did the scan) This requires an overhaul or replacement turbo at great expense. This is obviously not a new fault and probably was there when I purchased the car as the fault first occured within 2 weeks of getting the Octavia. The dealer has had the car for the past week and am hoping to hear today what he has done about the problem. The warranty has a limit of only £200 per claim. He tried to tell me before I left it with him that the problem is likely to be the maf sensor (I hope it is).
Should the dealer be sorting this and paying for all the repairs?
Many thanks for any advice.
