Soldato
Okay so lately I've been trying to get my car fixed. I've two problems, my seat back rest won't lock in place and the EML is on (P0235 and P0238) which points to turbocharger sensors. The first garage thought it needed a new sensor valve and couldn't do the seat.
So I'm left to try Peugeot! They said my locking mechanism is broke and it'll need a new back rest. That's £895 for the backrest but lucky I have a third party warranty to use. So I call them to get things rolling and they won't pay out for my EML light because it's electrics but they need to see the seats locking mechanism which is inside the seat and you cannot get to it. The only way is to saw the seat open and now Peugeot want £170 just to do that. If the warranty declines then I have half a seat! Ideally I would like to push for these people to pay £170+£895 and the seat diagnosis charge.
Over a grand to repair a seat. If it was me paying I would just buy two GTI seats off eBay or a decent aftermarket one.
Second is the EML light. Peugeot say it needs a whole new wiring harness!! £800, I do need to have this fixed as the car is losing a lot of power and mpg.
Ive been talking to a guy who races Peugeot cars, has the same car as me and owns a garage. These looms aren't easy to find but I've been on eBay and a used one goes for £125. Do you think I should just take back my car, head south and pay someone else?

granted we all have different tastes but why does anyone in the UK still buy anything from Peugeot, Citroen, Fiat or Renault? Different if it’s a 2k runaround but to chuck serious money like anything above 6k at one without a warranty is crazy given some of the ridiculous things you here Breaking on French cars.
