T5 ERG drama

[tooeasy]

Hello V-Dubbers
Bought my first water-pumper on Monday and its **** itself on Wednesday.
Its a 2012 T5 Transporter with 87500km on the dial and the catalytic converter light comes on.Take it to a dealer and they inform me the ERG valve is stuffed and a new one is $800 and $700 for fitting as its a 5 hour job.
Asked about warranty and you get 3yrs/100,000km so its out of warranty.
Anybody else had this problem?

Try for goodwill assistance from VW.

It's a very common problem with these.

Thanks mate
Sent a email to VW last night and saw the service centre today.
They say VW will contact them this week as I mentioned them in the email.
They didn't sell me the van and can see my view as my last car was a diesel Toyota that has done 280000k with just regular servicing and the wifes Honda jazz has done 175000k with a $200 fuel pump at 120000k.
Doesn't make the VW look good when it needs $1500 at 87500K does it
