A friend of mine booked her car in to a VW main dealers to have it MOT'd thinking it would be reputable. What a joke!!! Its a Ford Puma and it failed on a few bits and pieces initially - headlight alignment - link bar - indicator nothing major and all sorted before the re-test. On the original fail sheet it also said emissions not tested and they explained that it wasn't worth it as the other stuff had to be sorted first??
Anyway took it down for the re-test Friday and they said they couldn't test the emissions now as it is overheating? Well first we have known about it? So argues the toss that they should have tested the emissions on the initial test - that way if it was overheating it could have been sorted before the re-test.
They agreed to re-test it today so over the weekend I ran the car for a few miles - then left it running on the drive for over half and hour sat, sun and today, plus the couple of miles drive over to the test place and guess what...... they reckon its still overheating ad they can't test the emissions?? It never goes above half way on the gauge and there is no visible sign from the engine that it might be overheating?
I can only assume that they are trying it on and trying to force her to pay for work that clearly doesn't need doing???
Cheeky twats.
