Dear All,
I am a first time user to this site so fingers crossed someone can help me!!
I noticed the engine management light go on in our car about two weeks ago and called Arnold Clark (the car was bought from them this year in FEBRUARY 2011) who said to bring it in. I also noticed that its been leaking oil, having had to fill it up a few times in the last month or so.
They ran it through a diagnostic machine and told us that the problem with the car was the evap solanoid valve? (Since been told its an evap purge valve amongst other things) and this would NOT be covered by the 3 year extended warranty we bought for the car. I am livid. Having been advised that the only things that wouldnt be covered were the tyres/brakes etc I was shocked to find they start claiming other things are.
The problem with this valve is not wear and tear and its also not mechanical so they are telling us is isnt included in the warranty.
My question is - can anyone advise what the evap valve does? Why it might not be included under warranty and also, do I have a fight on my hands with arnold clark over this?
The car is beautiful and this would defintely ruin the honeymoon period!!
