One of my first posts also... although Im a regular visitor to this forum I have (so far) only owned VW's and now a Seat so tend to frequent seatcupra.net and uk-mkivs.net. I always find lots of good info on here though so
Now, the reason for my post.. Chapmans - oh dear...
Had my car booked in with them this morning - a 2007 Leon Fr Tdi, price was agreed to be the same as an Octavia VRS Tdi, having the same engine - 10k service.
Firstly they dont have a clue what oil to use, took ages to persuade them that this engine has to use the 507 spec oil - 99.9% sure this is the case with the Octavia - isnt it??
Secondly I was waiting while it was serviced. The guy said it would take a maximum of 1.5 hours so after 1.75 hours went back. Car was outside so presumed finished. Went in to pay and found they haddnt even started!!
Now I was with my 2 year old daughter who had been surprisingly patient so far, but no way could I wait any longer..
Needless to say car is now booked in at Seat, and there are 2 x 15m black lines leading from Chapmans to the main road (so Ive learned one thing - the electronic LSD works )
Rant over...
Keep up the good work, great forum btw!
