« on: October 19, 2011, 11:27:58 AM »
Car currently in dealership with one major problem and one niggle..Start with the niggle seatbelt not retracting from the buckle and major..seriously not going into 1st Gear so thought stuff that for a laugh and so not putting up with it and made my expressiosn to known to Abarth and to the dealership/headoffice too so we shall see what awaits...PDI sheet is a tick box excerise and has not been checked correctly...apart from that I am still and repeat still glad I got the car..running about in my other car so not really a hassle apart from wondering how in gods name I will collect it...

I had the same seatbelt issue on my 3rd Polo took the beggers 8 weeks to sort it out, though fortunately it was the passenger side. Hope it all get sorted soon, which type of Abarth is giving you the grief by the way?

I know the syncro problem very well.

Mine been in the dealership 4 times for it now. Been in this time for 7 weeks to get the box rebuilt but that because I had more problems then just 1st gear syncro.

Hope you get it all sorted and welcome to the forum
