Evening all
I purchased VY a couple weeks ago. On way to work this morning noticed strange noise coming from engine. I took it straight back to dealer only short distance away. Their mechanic looked (kinda like a ratle worse hen accelerating) at it and said it did not sound good, he looked at it and said the engine has spun a bearing or two at the bottom and this apparently means a new engine! I know absolute nothing about cars so sorry if this doesnt make sense! The sales dude said since sold it so cheap to me not sure he can help! Well he will be fixing because as far as i can tell it is a warranty issue and he has too. I am just hoping for some info whether the problem sounds like it is not fixable. I think he said a reconditioned motor will cost $1295 plus freight plus labour! does this sound about right? From what I can find out from my research a reconditioned motor is the only way I should go, eg not a second hand motor. Any thoughts sugestions would be appreciated, I think I am going to have a fight on my hands!
