Saugrohrklappenstellung: unplausibles Signal | Posts 16+

According to the master craftsman, the flap will be retained for inspection (if you believe that), as stated in the warranty terms. The fun is now costing me a hefty €120. Cheers to the New Year.

"Das ergibt keinen Sinn."

Why pay for a warranty and then still have to pay?
"Warranty and over 100,000 km means that 40% of the materials will be covered."
120 EUR / 0.4 = 300 EUR
The flap only costs 180 euros.

Okay, please provide the German text you would like me to translate into English. I will only provide the translation.

Chubby cheeks...

Well, my wife said it was 120 euros, and she had to take care of it.

Warranty: Used car warranty from VVD, possibly PerfectCar. Covers 60% of parts and labor costs starting at 100,000 km.

I don't know the individual price for a VW part; €180 is an online price that I also saw.

The connector should have been replaced from the beginning; it was already indicated as a potential issue during the initial diagnostic scan.

Unfortunately, because I don't have a garage, I won't be able to take a look at it until Saturday. The car is out and about all day.

If you like, please send me the invoice.

We also have that same guarantee. It seems like someone must have fraudulently claimed 300 euros worth of materials. Of course, that could be true if they found even more "suspects."
The wants to keep your car "running," and therefore they always tend to be overly cautious.

Maybe they also replaced the EGR valve – in that case, it would be a good price.

And if your pipe was heavily corroded, the EGR valve is a prime suspect.

Hello Dieselmartin,

I was already able to take a peek under the hood this afternoon.

The new valve is from Continental. It's not entirely clear whether someone tampered with the connector, but it's possible.

The EGR valve hasn't been touched; everything is as dirty as it was before.

Your accounting of €300 doesn't quite make sense to me.
Wenn ich 60% Materialkosten zahlen muß, mein Anteil bei 120€ liegt, kostet die Klappe laut Dreisatz etwa 200€. StimOkay, I'll do my best.

I'll let you know when the bill arrives.

Here's a picture:

Oh, darn, I made a mistake in the calculation.

Sure, that sounds right, and €200 for materials seems reasonable.
