I have owned this car for one day and now the engine management light is on. Car stopped pulling in second and went into limp mode abs the radiator fan came on at high speed. Anyone got any idea of what the issue might be.
In a bit of predicament there. I purchased the car on my way up to work. (I work offshore) in Aberdeen. I’m going offshore tomorrow for 2 weeks so the car is sat in a car park. Luckily I know someone who lives in Aberdeen who will collect the car key and I can arrange recovery under the warranty. There is only one year where there is no record of service in 2019. Dealer said they had serviced the car and MOT had no advisories. Luckily I had purchased a warranty on the car which covers repairs up to £1200.Get a code reader on it...but with a crystal ball Iwill kick off the bidding with the fuel pump, if it is petrol. What mileage is it? History? Warranty?
Thanks for thatI had the same and despite various fault codes showing other symptoms ,turned out to be the High Pressure Fuel Pump (after I had spent a fortune on everything from timing chain,coil packs etc etc).
The pump will very likely fail before 100k so in any event replacing that is a no brainer - and if everything is then ok you’re a winner!
Car has only done 58000.Thanks for that

Hope you get it sorted soon, horrid start to ownership but dealer you bought if from should replace it. My hpfp went on my R at low mileage.....guess they're just not up to the high pressures needed for direct injection as so many seem to fail at low mileages.In a bit of predicament there.

So why did he sell me a warranty if it wasn’t validOften warranties don't start immediately to stop people signing up knowing their car is faulty. They also don't cover pre-existing faults. You've either been really unlucky, or someone reset the fault knowing the car had the fault.
They also throw claims out if the car hasn't got a full history. That missing service could end your warranty.
With the fault happening so soon it's the dealer that you bought the car off that are liable for fixing it.
Did you experience the same symptoms? What was the cost of repairHope you get it sorted soon, horrid start to ownership but dealer you bought if from should replace it.

That's how they make their money. Selling add ons like warranty, GAP, car coatings, and all other warranties.So why did he sell me a warranty if it wasn’t valid

Who is the warranty with? Have you read the T&Cs?
What garage did you buy the car from?
It will be the dealer you need to contact first.
Is there a way of seeing if codes have been clearedGet a code reader on it...but with a crystal ball Iwill kick off the bidding with the fuel pump, if it is petrol. What mileage is it? History? Warranty?
The ECU memory normally stores historic codes these can show up as "Ghost Codes" if same or similar faults keep appearingIs there a way of seeing if codes have been cleared
