I after am a knowledge based rather than what seems logical response if that possible as logic does not seem to be working for me at the moment!
My car has been in for a problem this week. It had a leaking slave cylinder which required removing of the gearbox. All the work has been done but after putting it back together this morning they have discovered that in rotating the engine (?) to remove the gearbox the manifold was cracked. The initial work was carried out under a dealer warranty scheme. Apparently the warranty won’t pay for the replacement of the manifold as this is considered as “consequential” damage related to the repair. Whilst the garage (a main agent dealer, but not the one that sold me the car) is prepared to do the work at a discounted rate they are expecting me to cover the cost of the manifold.
To me this sounds like a crock. Either the warranty should pay for it (the garage say manifolds are often damaged doing this particular job) as an inevitable consequence of the work, or the garage should pay for ballsing up. What is the (knowledgeable) opinion of the massive? I’m awaiting a phone call in a minute to tell me what this might cost.
