Volvo C30 1.6 diesal - Full refund wanted On faulty car - JustAddWater
Hello HJ,
Can you help?
Purchased 61 plate Volvo C30 in March 2012. After two weeks I returned the vehicle to the Volvo dealer to have intermittent acceleration fault looked at. It has been back 8 times and still they cannot mend it. It is the new generation engine from Volvo. It has been recallibrated and had new software many times and recently had clutch and drive shaft replaced,the latter under instruction from head Tech from Volvo Cars UK. A neighbour passed on a forum feed to me where others have had same scenario. Dealership now in full denial of any issue at all with vehicle. There must be people out there in the know about what is going on wih that engine and surely having been sold a dud and only still having the vehicle four months later because they promised they could mend it and sent me out at my cot to "test the vehicle for them for two weeks" after each attempt to mend it....AND so on..... The head tech at the dealership totally admitted car was faulty and drove abysmally...I have heard whisperings that he has been fired.

Can you help, in any way to help bring this sorry chain of events to a close?

Thankou
