Think I was sold a lemon!!!

moondustmike · 10-29-2023, 03:48 AM

Bought a 2008 2.0d yesterday, all looked good and felt good (has a couple of minor things I need to do) but overall I was happy but then things changed on the way home!!

The car started being very unresponsive and there was a massive lag in throttle response at certain times, once it was up and running it seemed ok but slowing down for things like roundabouts and trying to then pull away again was a bit hit or miss whether the car would move properly when I was to accelerate.

Any ideas?

Take it back and ask for a full refund. You are well within the time frame for full refund.

Unless it was bought from a private seller and not from a dealer. Good luck
