H13VYY 0 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 'The Phirm' are superb...!Spent an hour with them on friday looking over my new girl and boy are they particular' date=' which is a good thing as so am I.The list from VW wasnt that bad, I coped when I first saw it as she is 13 years old in September. However, The Phirm found another 14 items that need attention which is great as it means when all the mechanical work is complete she will be tip top.I cant recommend 'The Phirm' enough. Ultra friendly, Ultra Knowledgable, Ultra good at what they do...!Use them people... I will be![/quote']told ya..look around and you find way better and cheaper places.

thegoth 5 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Yep heard only good things about the phirm. I'm interested in the 14 points they found that VW missed. Bet they weren't as obvious, or pointless, as no stereo ;-) Link to post Share on other sites
CALICO 130 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 pulling to the left could also be down to alignment get 4 wheel laser alignment done once all other problems have been fixed not worth doing it then doing wishbones etc as youll be needing to do it again Link to post Share on other sites
J5KE F 0 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I have to agree that tim and the boys are very very good! One of the 4 i would recommend and 4 garages in the uk is not a lot really! Link to post Share on other sites
Birchy 0 Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Wheel alignment, balancing and camber were all taken care of on Monday last week. Yet, she still pulls to the left and The Phirm said its not right and needs checking.The Phirm uncovered funny little things such as:Mainbeam bulb out.Drivers Rear Light needs an earth.Power steering nose corodingExhaust centre section slightly blowingFront discs wornRear pads need replacingSlight weep from 2nd water pumpSump acrapedRear number plate discoulouredRequries coolant flushCoolant pressure cap weepingPlay in both rear wheel bearingsCoolant weep around oil coolerRear wishbones both splitMy mate works at VW so I didnt have to pay for the 'Full Examination & Diagnostic Check' they carried out on Thursday. If I had paid the £69.00 then I would be asking for my money back as they didnt find ANY of the items above.Th Phirm will be looking after my 'girl' from now on and I look forward to receiving a quote for ALL the work, including the bits found by VW, to be fixed and completed. At least I will know she is in good hands...!Bloody dealers... CRAP! Link to post Share on other sites
