October last year I bought a tfsi converted van that was all in running order or so I thought. 24 miles later the thing is misfiring. Tracked down the owner before previous who had all of these same issues and spent a lot of money trying to rectify. Seller I bought from I believe scanned all error codes and took me for a test drive where of course, the van was all in working order
Van will turn over (now needs a new battery)
but it’s in no state to really drive around the country for remedial work. I’m located in Bristol and having a really hard time trying to find someone look at the van and therefore carry out the work. Most people I have got in contact with want nothing to do with it. I’m thinking it needs either a new engine or the complete engine/conversion doing again.
Can anyone point me in the direction of someone local to this area or would not mind collecting the van to perform the works needed.
The £8000 I spent was largely for a house deposit, however it was what I thought, cheaper to buy this van than to do all of the work to my other caddy, which is was also cursed
. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, had I have known history of the van I wouldn’t have purchased.It’s been sat on the drive since October and I’m no closer to having anything sorted, and have since got rid of my other caddy after spending small fortunes on repairs.
If anyone could point me in the direction of someone who could carry out this work that would be amazing, or if anyone can help me price what it’s worth in current condition, as I said before I really am considering just cutting my losses and selling at a massive loss just to recoup some money, and put it down to an awful private sale experience.
