hello
im new and i need of help. i bought a 307 Peugeot 04 plate from arnold clark in jan 07.. i didnt pass my test till the end of may 07 and since then my car has been terrible.. it was under manufacture warranty till last july and in that time it was taken into the peugeot garage due to an anti poloution fault warning coming up on the dash board. It has been in 3 times since and is now under extended warraty with arnold clark. It was serviced by an idependant garage and they told me there were 3 errors appearing on their lap top when the car was plugged into it and advised me to take the car back while it was still under warranty for the rest of the month. I was advised to just take it straight to Peugeot again, which i did and its the same anti pollution fault and they are now saying the problem is the engine harness and that its not covered by my warranty and i shall be charged £500.. im just wondering where to go from here as im sure this is not right if they haven't fixed the problem in the first place as they would have been covered under manufactures warranty. oh and they also charged me 64 quid for a diagnostic test which i have never been charged! i am a woman and thinking they might be taking the P a bit??
sorry very long winded

Not knowing where you are located, we can't help. We dont want a street address or other personal information but need to know if you are in the US, Canada, United Kingdom (I suspect because of the monetary units described in the post) posted by  tbaxleyjr

S/He's from the UK. Judging by the type style and speach, lol.

Rainbow, I'm not sure about the legal bits, but most dealers will at least offer a discount as a good will gesture given their mis-diagnosis in the first place. Lets face it, it was a problem on their part, afterall. Speak to them again, if you have no joy I suggest you write to Peugeot's Customer Service Department direct and vent you dis-satisfaction. Don't forget that even main dealers are just franchises working for Peugeot, so it might be in their best interest to reimburse you in order to save possibly having to do it after being instructed...:thumbs: posted by  Cliffy

A couple of inspectors http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:0Mmb9cXIaqgJ::bp0.blogger.com/_AnQIv8iL tsE/R4q5v4IxbJI/AAAAAAAAAf8/u9JxfeOsEdk/s320/Inspector%252BClouseau.jpg

Rainbow, you made a big mistake buying a Peugeot in the first place. You have an extended warranty so get them to repair it as a non maintainable item: the harness is not realistically a wear and tear part (and probably isn't the cause of your problem). Get nasty. posted by  Wally
