Hi Guys, I bought a 2nd superb sportline, registered 2021. I noticed a couple of marks on the boot when I was cleaning the car a few weeks ago but when I cleaned it today I can see that area has peeled, and other marks similar but I reckon that will also peel. See attached pbotos, only noticed it on the boot. Should this be covered with warranty.

It would be for you to argue with them but in all honesty the chances of it getting anywhere are slim.

 

They would argue its been repainted, a stone chip, poor cleaning or any other number of things. And in all fairness it could be any of these things. 

 

If you wanted to save on costs as its quite a isolated panel you could get it re lacquered up to and under the spoiler lip but no further.

You would expect this to happen a car that is 15years old not a 18month car, I will argue with them, it’s hard for them to say it’s chipped as where it is located at the back but I’m sure I’ll get all sort of excuses. 
is it cheap to get it re lacquered, would probably have to leave it in somewhere to get done. Only have the car 4 weeks so it’s crap tbh. 

You have the 3 year paint warranty, but if the panel has been repaired / repainted and not done as a warranty claim before now you have no claim.

If it was a Warranty job already done then you have. 

 

One of several threads if you search paint peeling.   Or Briskoda paint flaking.

Thanks for that I will go to Skoda tomorrow. 

How did it go ?

My crystal ball says they took a chunk of money off him for an inspection that was always going to reveal that the peeling lacquer is not factory applied paint.

 

That they will have kept the car for a very long time and not looked at it, just selected the standard invoice line for refused paintwork warranty inspection.

 

Cynical, - moi? 😄

One of those threads where the op asks for help then just vanishes ?

Hi guys just to give you an update. I sent the car back to the dealer and they rang me 2 days later to inform me that the car was involved in a crash, and they offered me a full refund.

Did it show up on a hpi check? 
or did they realise after inspecting the inside of the rear of the vehicle? (Undeclared)

 

Did you take the refund or are they giving a full repair?

Hi, I took the full refund. 
the garage had no idea, looks like the previous owner fixed it up and traded it in, obviously cash and a botch job as nothing showed up on cartel.ie. Fair play to the garage, when they looked into it they seen something went into the back end and offered full refund straight away. 
 

I am due to pickup a sportline on Thursday so looking forward to that, actually just posted something re steering wheel but all in it looks like a great car, has extras compared to old car, digital dash, automatic, and hybrid which will suit me as my work is only 10km away.

Post the original reg up, that’ll be at another dealership in no time I suspect, bit of a oh crap someone’s realised from the dealership.

 

One for people to avoid

Will do, can I ask the sportline 2021 model I’m picking up on Thursday, it has the older steering wheel / no chrome wheel dial, I’m thinking the sportline had the lower spec in the sportline, no usb in the back usb c in the front, iv automatic and digital cocpit. I take it the car is a 2021 model. Reg is 2021.
