Subaru Parts Warranty issues in UK?
Howdy,
I'm from South Africa and just want to compare the practise of our dealerships to yours.
Scenario: I bought a new MAF sensor for my STi 6 yesterday, I installed it in their car park. Reset ECU and drove 1km, same error 23 - MAF failure, so they sold me a faulty sensor. Apparantly not an uncommon occurance with these parts according to my tuner, who has bought lots of them.
I took it back to them and they refused to replace it, reason being, no warranty on electrical parts and my car is modified.
This part was clearly faulty from the factory. I don't know the cost there but its roughly 80 pounds. I can buy another one, but purely out of principal I think they should replace it because I'm such a loyal supporter.
