Heavy fuel consumption after service

Yeah it absolutely boggles my mind that people will do stuff themselves to avoid conflict for something they paid good money for.

It is called "survival". These days you need to know what the problem is before you go back , because 9 times out of 10, the service agency will just fob you off and do nothing!

+1, it's better to go back with all your ducks in a row so they don't BS you again.

I can quite believe that pipes and cables disconnected during a service are not replaced, because this is my experience with my wife's Corsa.

We have 5 Opel Corsas in the extended family , and every single one ( serviced at different Opel agencies) came back with an issue with the fuel filter problem I highlighted.

The problems are common, the causes are all negligence. Professionalism in the motor industry is on the decline if already non-existent.
No one cares anymore. One of the reasons is due to the increased use of "Extended warranty service plans".
How often have I heard people say "I don't care, that is why I pay for an extended service plan, if they screw up, they must fix it".

Well they don't fix it, they ignore what they want to when they want to.

Like I've said before - make your dealership fear you.

I refuse to accept bad service, and make their lives miserable if they dare try and ignore me....

Always escalate up the management chain if you find a stubborn retard.
