Hello together, unfortunately my Volvo V40, BJ 2001 – bought 8 weeks ago – the catalyst is broken. At first we thought that falls under the warranty, but after searching the internet and talking to dealers is probably not quite clear whether the cat is treated as a wear part or not and to avoid legal trouble, we have been able with the dealer to pay 2/3 and we 1/3 of the cost of the repair (first he wanted to make 50/50). 800 euros for the cat as well as a good hour of work, i.e. approx. 950 euros. Now I asked at a part dealer what the cat costs with him and he has called me a price of approx. 480 euros incl. VAT. and of course incl. his span. Original part, just as it is now installed. Am stinkesauer! May the dealer pay over 100% of the material value, if we participate in the costs with a certain percentage? His invoice goes great on… But we pay over 100 euros more! Have cancelled the workshop appointment now, because I don’t have a nerve to renegotiate with him and want to be sure of what the (legal) situation is like here. Have you had similar experiences or can you help me with anything else? Thank you for your help and nice greetings!
