New car issues - what did you get resolved
Had my car in for its first service and fitting of PPP, gave the dealer a list of small problems that i expected to get solved but non were, now before i ring them can anyone say if they have had the same problems and how they got them resolved.
List of problems reported:
1: Dashboard rattle from arround the defroster piece of plastic on the top of the dashboard, this can get pretty loud.
2: Rattle from what seems to be the rear passenger selt belt mechanism (the roller bit behind the seat) this is horrendous when it starts as it wont stop until i get out the car and pull on the seatbelt.
3: Rattle from arround the grab handle on the passenger front seat
4: Brake disks still corroded/groved after 1400 miles, i think they tried to fix this by just stupid high speed braking, because my brakes were useless after i picked it up.
5: Clutch pedal 'clunk' just as i press it (like theres play in the mechanism)
6: 'buzz' from exhaust when rolling along at about 2.6 - 3.5k rpm (might be normal waistgate noise)
New problems after PPP fitted:
1: New exhaust may not be fitted properly as it feels 'loose' under the car (difficult to explain)
2: Engine running 'rough' at idle
Anyone else had these specific problems and get them resolved/explained?
Any help appreiated

Best one was a clicking noise that seemed to be from the seatbelt but was in fact a spot weld somewhere, took ages to find but the dealer - Adams - took the time to find and fix it. Two new clutches and new brake disks.

55 wrx import - nothing of interest to note (touch wood) 7000 miles under my belt.

Are you sure that isn't the noise of air being sucked into the panel filter? i like that sound.

1. i get a very fine vibration from the seatbelt mech covers at different times depending on engine speed. Stops when I put my hand on it. Not as intrusive as your obviously.
2. mine sounds "rough" on idle compared to my last car (S class mercedes)... i kinda like it though

What i mean about 'rough' is that the car now wobbles at idle, it was perfectly smooth before the PPP, i wouldnt of expected that to change.
Anyone else got any 'play' in the clutch pedal?

Mines got PPP and will dip the revs significantly regularly, almost like tis having a rest (lol), then boost them up when the aircon kicks in.
