Hi guys, I'm in need of some advice,
I got our Td4 in July, test drive went well, no apparent problems, used it, as you do, went back to it, hard to start, this turned out to be injector number 3, since then I have also replaced the crank pulley and the MAF sensor. The car is still bad low down and when you reach a speed and back off, to maintain the speed. It has now also developed all I can describe as 3 to 4 knocks when the turbo kicks in and also a plume of grey/white smoke from the exhaust. Any feedback on this is greatly appreciated, it's a great car spoiled by the engine at the moment.
 
If you're past the first 30 days but a problem has arisen that you think would have been there at the time of purchase, you're entitled to ask for a repair or replacement free of charge.
In most cases this will be a repair, as whoever sold the car to you will usually be able to prove that the cost of replacing it would be disproportionate.
During the first six months after purchase, it's the responsibility of the seller to prove the fault wasn't there, not for you to prove that it was.
But after the first six months, the onus will be on you to prove that the fault was present from the day you bought the car.
If the attempt at a repair or replacement is unsuccessful, you're entitled to a refund.
But the car dealer can make a deduction from the refund after the first 30 days for 'fair use'.
