And then they'll then sell the people's car to someone else, without fixing the problem. I just wonder how they'll deal with that. Ba bontshe marago a noba Muzi
Hi Musi. I have been following your Polo saga with great interest. Im really glad you got it sorted. I honestly can't understand why these car brands don't supply you with cars to review. I find your channel very entertaining. Keep it up👌
That's great news. Taking my Polo Life DSG into VW probably mid June to get all my wiring sorted so my NAV can work again as they said it takes about 25 working days to bring down from Germany (ridiculous). But my engine stop start is still giving me issues, my wireless app connect doesn't work and my Radio Data system was deactivated. So going to do the same thing you did and tell them that I am not going to take my car back until all my issues are resolved....
Keep pushing bro and don't settle for options that don't meet your expectations. You've been through hell with their current lemon. Complain until your demands are met, even if it means bridging extra baggage to the dealership. PS. A colleague from High School 😁
We need to discuss how to avoid such unforeseen problems for all brand. Because we all assume a brand new car should not give you problems until a certain period.
Bru Muzi...I'm in shock! Can't believe they replacing it! I'm a VW die-hard just like you and so many too...they really under-estimated ur influence! So so happy for u! Lol..."strategic thinking 101"...now im anxiously looking forward to your next video..
It sounds like you went through exactly the same thing I went through Muzi, the only difference being my case was stretched over 14 months. I wrote a stinking email to ABSA and CCed VWSA before they stated taking me seriously, because they wanted me to pay for the remaining shortfall. One last thing I can advise with regard to accepting a car without the beasts audio system, if it is anything like Audi’s SONOS audio system, no South African man must be denied a sound system like that 🥹! If you have the time, be a double agent and get another sales guy at a different dealership to look for one without telling him/her what’s happening and you’ll see how quickly the car you want suddenly appears 🤣! That’s how I found my replacement T-Cross R-Line. You deserve a Bells 🍻, and then some; that battle you have fought was not easy. VW Forever! 🙅🏽♂️
This is good news for you brother, but I’m worried how they would have treated you if you didn’t have a platform to shame them into submission. This is bad for the common buyer.
That polo R is looking fine.🔥🔥 Looking foward to the new GTI bro. Congratulations to see you win. Lastly, you are indeed in a toxic relationship with VW🤣🤣
Wow!!!!im happy for you bud. Amazing , I wish I had done the same instead of being concerned about the financial burden of lawyers etc . Thanks for this , in future I would gladly act like this as I’m also a child of the soil ….SA.
Commander of the Air force - This is Delta M Sambo 1....Operation BAZOOKA is a success. I repeat, OP BAZOOKA a success. Mission accomplished Sir. Requesting permission to report back to Base . OVER!
Lol, our great vw doctor. I love polo too and the way they were behaving I was now starting to change my mind but still I have some detouchment syndrome. I was hoping that they deliver since this channel expose them. Ayeye!
Muzi I share your pain. Bought a brand new T-Roc in 2021 when ghey were launched in January. The car that I got was not the car that I OTP'd. No R-line interior, no Beats sound system, no wireless charger, etc. Luckily the dealership refunded me for the accessories that was missing. Sad news now is the facelift T-Roc will be launched soon.
I think the main problem could be this thing of chip shortages and chain supply disruption world wide,this should be an eye opening for the guys who are keen to buy new car in the current market.
nah fam the new gen golf gti also has a problem where the infotainment system does boot somettimes or gets stuck on a bootloop. something is wrong with the software of these cars
Are you for real @@blakkstar1655? Imagine buying a new car for R850k then the infotainment system doesn't work? I would drive it straight into main lobby at VW H/O and leave it there for them to sort out! Looks like VW is pulling another "Dieselgate" scam...
So I'm currently going through this, I bought a Nissan magnite. The car became a problem first week I bought it in December, as I write this I'm at Nissan now and it's the 6th time. I had to inconvenience my neighbour to take my son to school. First it was a software, then tracker, they replaced the battery 2 weeks ago. So this video will help me in my pursuit for justice.
Congratulations my brother. I want to buy the new polo life 2022 but I am now scared. Can you image the trauma of buy a new car and then after a couple of weeks it give you problems. How's the quilty on the previous polo 2021 r line specifically?
Ey Muzi The rline 2022 dasg is overrated or maybe it is the car I was sold by the Halfied Northcliff garage which is faulty or something I am not sure now…Firstly I had problem with EPC light popping on my speedo meter screen and also start/stop system malfunction which also indicated I must start the car manually while only the button is available to start the car…Now One of the fog lights is not functioning well it goes on and off I am not sure what to do coz I did take a car to one of the vehicles dealers for check ups but they said the car is functioning well they didn’t do anything on the car but they will book for the car on the later stage coz it needs a fix…this is a brand new car though
I know a few ladies who drive it in Johannesburg & they haven't had any issues. This is South Africa though, so you must be careful whatever car you drive.
Hi, please advise on your complaints process can contacts/numbers/emails. As I find myself in the same situation. I bought a new VW polo Gti (2023) from McCarthy Durban Dealership and having interior heating problems and now leading to misting up in water and water on my floor mats. I'm just gatvol, please advise.
You're really lucky they chose to replace the car plus a cash settlement plus after sales service liaison with the bank and insurance plus a decent courtesy car. Sometimes in life you just have to say THANK YOU instead of going on about how you'd make a better sales man than the dealership warra warra. They went over and beyond I have to say compared to other's. Most dealers would have looked at depreciation straight after you drove off the floor and deducted wear and tear costs.
It's actually been said.. Out of 1000 cars. 10 of them are going to fail and give out problems especially if it's a New Model.. so with your Polo Gti . Theres a possibility you got 1 of the 10 problematic cars
@@MuziSambo 😅😅 One needs to thoroughly inspect a second hand car, mileage should never fool anyone, I got myself an OBD scanner for such reasons, and your video about second hand cars was tip parked 🤝
Quick question: If the 9k is exactly what reflects on your OTP, giving you back 9k doesn’t make up for the sound system. You still paying more for it over the contract term in interest?
It's a shame it had to come this but ever since diesel gtate I don't trust this brand anymore. Funny enough I think diesel gate is the cause of these issues. My sister bought a t cross recently and it has an issue of not starting sometimes. It's sad because my mom used to have a golf 2 gti and my uncle had a golf 5 gti and both were dear to me but the build quality these days has dropped like lead in water. VW clearly aren't what they used to be.
