Vw Service near Dover?

[suzanne1]

Sorry, I know I only seem to post when I’ve broken down. On my way to Sicily again and only made it to just past Leeming Bar services when there was a bang and I had to pull over on to hard shoulder. AA now taking me to Dover as my ferry early tomorrow. Seemingly a turbo pipe keeps popping off. Can anyone recommend a service centre near Dover ( or should I attempt Calais?) that might have that part and be able to repair it quickly?

I´ve had good service at JCB commercials Ashford (VW)
I think the pipe needs a better jubilee clip on it.

Thanks, was thinking it might be safer to get it fixed this side and book a later ferry.

I don´t think there is a VW garage in Dover. So did the aa man not fix the pipe back on ?
If you need parts then the best bet is JCB in ashford, as they do commercials there
is a better chance of them having what you need.

It was a local recovery firm that were first sent out and the guy tried to fix it with cable ties as a temporary measure but it didn’t work.

I live in Folkestone and use a local garage to service my 09 California and my parents van. Just off the m20/a20...Not sure if I am too late but try https://www.hawkingevehicles.co.uk

Is Leicester van centre any good as the AA have cocked up the recovery?
