Major shock at dealers!

Well I must confess to being a little suprised when I walked into the VW dealers this afternoon.

 

A month ago I had ordered a new MFI as part of my conversion. It duly arrived and I went over to pick it up, being a shiny new expensive part I had a quick look in the box as soon as I got back in the car. I was somewhat suprised to be confronted by an aluminium casting and not a digital display panel as expected so I went back into the dealers with the offending item. 'No problem we will send it back' I was told.

 

Anyway after I went in this afternoon to pick a different order up I found out what had been happening with the mysterious cast MFI. It turns out that MK will not take it back despite it being the wrong item from the word go, and to make matters worse the bloody thing is now discontinued :cry:

 

What suprised me was that MK flatly refused to have it returned (turns out it was for a transporter T2) and insisted that the my dealer pay for an MFI when they have only got a thermostat housing!

 

It's no wonder parts are so bloody expensive sometimes!!

The dealer must have ordered the wrong part and it was special order - thats why they won't take it back...

Multi function indicator.

 

No it was the right bit Supercharged, box had the correct label on and all they do is pull the numbers off the erm, popular VW parts tool print outs I give them.

 

Somewhere someone has pinched an MFI and replaced it with a T2 thermostat housing.

Yeah it is gixer depends on the age of the car.

 

For some reason only known to VW (and no doubt a few people on here)it was called an MFI originally then changed to MFA later on.

 

Still does the same job.
