Eos leaks - has this problem been fixed??

[trisha]

my beautiful eos 2.0 dsg diesel has leaked since i got it in january after waiting almost a year with baited breath, it has been in to dealers numberous times and i was simply getting nowhere, still the slightest rain and in it came. They replaced the seals etc and kept fobbing me off. then the last time it went in they coulnt find the problem it was water tested over the weeks they had it but said no water came in. i really didnt want this car back and told them so, but was told it had to be delivered to me to get it off site! so i then involved my solicitor and took the car back but refused to sign the delivery note. Then yesterday the dealer sent me a letter offering £20.000 for my hardly used eos (in black with sat nav plus 6cd player i think i paid £24. something for it so it is a big loss especially as it has been down at the dealers so often and for so long.

i really dont want to accept their offer but its causing me some grief when i see my pension being driven by my partner as i really hate the blooming thing.

Anyone out there that can help before i totally crack up, (Just hoping it pours down tonight and i am not made out to be a liar, or as it was put all in my imagination)

I have an Eos from January 07 too and it still leaks - see my earlier posts. I had the car at the dealer for 6 weeks in Sept/Oct and they fitted new seals but it has made no difference.

Yesterday I had an independent engineer inspect the car after I hosed it and he confirmed that it leaks and where it was coming from. I am now waiting for his report and if it says what I think it will say then I will be rejecting the car.

I'd be surprised if your solicitor (I am one too!) did not advise you to consider rejecting the car and demand your money back, altho' obviously I don't know the details of your case and there's no guarantee of success, as you may end up needing to sue them - maybe worth speaking to your solicitor again.

VW Customer Care also told me that they would assist customers in rejecting within the first 12 months. I've been told (altho' I can't verify this) that dealers will be compensated by VW for cars they make a loss on following rejection.

I'll keep you posted as to how I get on - maybe you could do the same.

Lastly, I'm hoping that the leak issues have been resolved as I'd love to re-order an Eos if I could be sure it would not leak.
