Little history..

Last june i picked up my ix mr. Got the turbotrix stage 3 kit.. Full exhaust, ecutek, walboro 255, intake, and a tune.. Car was great. Supposedly i had a full warranty.. Not as if now 6 months ago the car wouldnt start. I had it towed to brad benson. Within a day i had a call from the incompetent service manager paul. Well my motor was hydrolocked......or was it. I flipped out and called turbotrix. Talked to mark. At this time paul calls me back wanting to know if he wanted me to start an estimate. I told him to not touch my car.. Mark and Mike go to the dealer and start looking at the situation.. Well, it was a fuel pump fuse. Mark right away drove my car back to his shop as i dont think the car would have been safe there.. He fixed the problem and even replace the walboro for me. They were WAY more than very helpful. Well now sunday my car gets jammed in gear. Had it towed to the dealer. Again Paul calls(didnt even want to talk to him) and said the trans is done. 6800 for a new trans and labor. I ask him if the car was on a lift. NO, the magic tech "checked" the car in the parking lot. NOw i have no other power mods except the stg3 tt kit which is covered. So they still say they are not covering it because the car was "raced" on the street. Then there excuse was it was highly modded....which was from tt/benson kit.. Then, which is the best, that i dont have backseats WTF? So i told tt i was going to have to take them to court as a witness. They called benson and all of a sudden i have cams.. Huh thats funny somebody must have stole my car and put them in and then returned it without me knowing. I though i felt some more mid range lol... so basically now i am at the point where i have to go the whole 9 yards. Getting my car out of there asap. These guys are crooks. I do not care if i have to post this everyday on every
forum. I will not let anybody go to that dealer without the thought in their head. These guys are going down, and will stop and nothing(legal action) to make sure of it....

 

Sorry about the mess you are in now, that sucks. Did you get anything in writing stating that your modification were ok? Does the dealership have a relationship with turbotrix for modification to be done?

 

yes its on their website. Get more power with tt mods and retain your factory warranty blah blah blah

 

I would print that out and keep a copy with you when you go to the dealership. Also, make sure Turbotrix knows that the dealership is not keeping up their end of the deal that was made with them.

Also, you need to make very certain that the damage to your transmission was not from abuse, otherwise you are screwed........ Ultimately your best bet is to try and have turborix help you with this issue. It's going to be a very hard up hill battle though..... Like I said, that sucks...

 

Dam you lucky you didn't go to Pruven Performance your problems would of been 10X bigger !

 

Print that now because it will be removed today- I had a problem with that same garbage as one dealer said it was ok the other said no luckily I had a paper copy of the webpage and was able to get the first to own up to their words

 

Wow what a crappy dealer trying to say your motor was locked.

 

hey uhm...sry about your car...but did you happen to see mine in there GETTIN WORK DONE!!!...been a week no response, noone knows nothing...

i talked to mr. whittaker myself to clarrify things on that TT/BB colabo going down..he claims, everything is covered as long as the part TT installs doesn't cause the malfunction...but isn't that normal state law anyway!!!

 

What you need to do is, print out copy of that website, like we've all seen...and take em to court...the website plainly says get work done at TT, we will cover your warranty...thats false advertising.

 

i havent been down there so i havent seen your car. Though i would be cautious because he told me my trans was done without even putting the car on a lift. his tech inspected it in the parking lot WTF? Its not a broken ashtray...

 

yea, they lil iffy to me too...the day i bought the car, giving me hassle about putting on the front license plate....i dont want pointless tickets so i said install the License plate, they saying go threw inspection first, than come back when it fails for that...i said uh..NO..

 

they didnt pay off my touareg for almost 3 months. Got a call from vw why my payments werent in..grrr

 

wow.. thats a sh!tty situation man.... hope you get it resolved soon!!

 

wow

 

Could be shifter bushings?

Just take the car to ttrix or any other local evo shops.

Some techs are dealerships are evo competent but most are not, good luck.
