Anyone seen the article in this week's Auto Express?

 

14 reg vRS rejected by owner.  Interesting read!

Clicks?

Get a link sorted please :-)

For those of us out of reach of a newsagent, is there a link. ON what grounds was the car rejected? Orange peel paint would be my guess, given some eamples i've witnessed up close in Prague

Can't find it on the website http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/car-news/63972/weeks-issue-auto-express.

 

Hopefully this is not breaking any copyrights but if it is I may have to delete this pic.

 

There must be a fair chunk missing from the whole storey. That doesn't seem like a lot to happen for a rejection to be required.

Indeed.  I actually bought the mag as there was a feature on the new Fabia (and a decent pic of it on the front).  The vRS O3 reject was a little bit of a surprise. 

An isolated incident, which got a suitable resolution. Not cancelling my order just yet   

Beadles Maidstone. The same garage that spray painted my chrome grille and pretended it was the black pack.

I cannot see any reason for rejection listed. Seems Skoda were being very very reasonable and from the info provided I would guess the owner a newer spec car for free.

Quality outfit then ! 

Seems like a poor reason to reject a car, a missing oil cap and a faulty sensor? Sounds like a non letter to me, should of been in the daily mail!

My neighbour rejected his Aston Martin Vanquish because the Climate Control fan needed changing 2 weeks after it was delivered. This meant the whole dash had to come out. When he got it back it was squeaky as hell. The dealer said thats to be expected after a dashboard removal. Now that is a reason for rejection. Not a sensor on an exhaust.

Would make me want to switch to a different showroom rather than ditch the car, although I guess having easy to spot issues on a new car must make you doubt the manufacturers quality checking process.

They are a very poor outfit as I also found out after I bought my new Octy 2. Won't deal with them.

Sounds like that are of poor quality to me, like you say Zillio, not a reason to bin an entire car off, but yes time to swap dealers.

So im not the only one to lose an oil cap on the new vrs. I couldn't work out how it came off

How much oil escapes from the cap hole. I would be rejecting the car too if it was me, the cap also stops dirt and gravel getting into the engine. It would always be on my mind that something is going to go wrong with the engine because of the missing cap.

My car was running like crap and was idling to high. I was on a journey from derby to brands hatch when it dissappeared. Once I got there I made a new cap from a strimmer fuel cap, gaffer tape and cable ties.

Good grief

Impressive!

Depending on how many miles the car had done without the filler cap I can understand him wanting to reject the car.

 

As for Beadles, Im glad I’m not the only one who will never cross their threshold again.

My dad got a new superb from them a few years back.

 

The brolly in the rear door was missing, the spare wheel kit was missing and there was a dig in the leather on the drivers seat when they tried to hand it over. needless to say he didn't sign for it, it was only a lex lease car but was a pretty poor check they must have done.

One of the reasons I changed dealers for my O3. Since they moved into the old Audi showroom they developed the same Audi attitude!!!

We rejected my wifes first Mk 2 Octavia Elegance 1800 TSI when the DSG box seriously played up within 40 miles of picking it up from the dealer and it was going to take 3-4 weeks for the parts to arrive when they found the fault after 4 days. they replaced the car with no problem.

good service from the dealer (Wayside Milton Keynes) and went back for the VRS
