STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS !!!!!! STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS !!!!!!! My van failed its MOT on a leaking shock absorber. No front sidelights when ignition was on . Changed the faulty shock with a brand new one professionally fitted . Was told there was nothing wrong with the sidelights by my mechanic. So went for a retest , the MOT tester called me into the garage . Told me he was going to fail again as front sidelights still not working . When he switched to sidelights with ignition on I noticed the DRL's lights came on instead . Tried to explain my 2017 caddy had always been the same . At which point his manager stepped in the garage and had a right go at me for being in there . Simon Ward is his name , when it was his Tester that called me in . So I lost my cool , took my van and left . After this I lost out on three days wages until I could hire a van at £350 . When I had time I went to see a citygate VW technician. He explained the sidelight are 5w and only work when ignition is off . They are just parking lights in essence. That the DRL lights are 21w so take over from the front sidelights when ignition is on as they are brighter . So my van was failed for no reason . Have tried to complain . Knowone has ever bothered to get back to me . So I lost out on around £1000 cash . Still have to gey my van MOT on Monday elsewhere . DO NOT USE THESE ILL-INFORMED MOT TESTERS THEY HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHAT THEY ARE DOING !!! While I was at their garage another customer a lady was having similar problems . Her vehicle failed , so she had the work done by another garage . Then they failed her on something else on her retest . Date of experience: 31 January 2024
