Hi everyone! The dreaded diesel noise has reared its ugly head on my HGT for the SECOND time and I'm not happy :bang:
I've already had to have it changed, fortunately Fiat coughed up a 70% goodwill contribution the first time as it was just out of manufacturer's warranty, but now because it's 16 months after it was changed, the parts they replaced the first faulty variator with are out of the dealer warranty (12 months). Has anyone had the variator fail more than once and got any further contribution towards the cost? I've just rung my local dealer and they aren't entertaining the idea that I shouldn't have to pay for it (even though they actually admitted it shouldn't fail once let alone twice).
Any ideas how to progress/advice would be greatfully received My boyfriend's taking the mickey that my car sounds worse than his diesel and I don't know how much more I can take
