so issue 13 of VWbus comes out with my column all about one year on from buying a Cali and how only probs have been due the dumb owner
next week however - roof not seating issues resulting in need to have canvas and a scissor arm replaced.
then as result of weekend camping at CoTF had to add following list of issues when taking bus in today for roof! plus what dealer is doing.
Tap fell off. To be replaced. Common fault.
Coolbox lid came away from groved seat! Apparently seen 4 times recently by dealer! To be replaced - 3 parts built up and then fitted back on.
Tailgate brake light not seating. Replace lens and seal.
LH Windscreen wiper not wiping screen. To be investigated still.
really reallt bad squeak from overhead cupboard unless driving on perfect flat road. To be investigated still.
Charging issues. Only used heater, radio and lights very sparingly, coolbox on 2, but by Sun morning radio and display console had low battery warnings. Had just driven 170 miles on fri. Baterries on overnight charge to see if any fault, charging rates to be checked AND IMPORTANTLY, VW to be contacted for definitive advice re charging batteries and if as some say need to plug in at home regularly.
and the roof? "we are working on it sir" :lol:
may take a few days methinks..still they loaned me a nice 180PS double door kombi with a host of extras so not bad.
And cant speak too highly of Listers Van Centre Coventry - unlike some dealers they have a full time factory trained Cali technician and their customer service oustanding.
