colleague was carjacked and had his s3 taken. it has now been recovered (6 weeks later) from a lockup where the rozzers think it was taken to after being nicked (and left in case it had a tracker activated) he is now having hassle from the insurers/lease company who now don't want to pay out, and do want to have him take the car back

i now can't find the thread from here about someones vrs that was nicked and thrashed with the vag-com errors showing vmax and rev limiters being hit multiple times

can anyone point me in the direction of that thread??

cheers

If my car had not been recovered in such a short time then the insurers were all set to pay out within 2 weeks.

If he is still waiting after 6 weeks then I think he needs to have a word with his insurers as I would have expected to be paid out, at which point the car becomes their reposibility.

The insurers would at least need to pay out to have all the keys changed and the security systems checked surely?

The lease firm is the interested party, so they'll get any settlement, not you.

Needs to push the lease firm, as it's their car, not his.
