A Christmas miracle! You'll be wanting some fresh panties for christmas?Today I achieved Peak Fuckwit. Moorey has been usurped.
As some may know I have a nice new truck, VW Amarok. I'm quite proud of it. Let me confess. We're going up the coast for xmas and a few days to spend time with wifeys family and mine. Towing the camper up as brother-in-laws house is full of their family, so we can sleep nicely in his back yard. I should fill up the car for the trip, so there is no delay on the way up.
I fill up at BP as its got the dirt clearing diesel. BP sells Ultimate diesel, its well marketed. So I started filling up with Ultimate, seeing it said Ultimate on the pipe and stuff. Hang on, that's not the price diesel was for. And the nozzle fitted too easy. FARK, I'm pumping Ultimate 98 unleaded. So stop pumping. Only 2.61 litres went in. It was half full when I started so I'll just fill the remainder with diesel, and - you know - it'll be so diluted the engine will be sweet. So I top up the 80 litre tank, but 2.6 litres are unleaded. Seeing its so diluted I'll just drive the 1km to office and ring VW Roadside Assist from there - what can 1km do hey? All is cool.
VW ask me, so you haven't started it have you? Um, I drove it just 1km to work. Its so diluted she'll be fine. Ahh, no say VW. It has to be towed to a dealer. It has to have the tank drained. It has to have the fuel lines flushed. It has to have the fuel filter checked. It has to have the engine codes checked for problems. And potentially, seeing unleaded has no lubricating properties it could have farked the injectors which is a nice easy $9,000 job to fix. At this point I go totally white and shit myself.
Fuck.
Its basically Xmas eve. Service departments are booked out. Roadside Assist do not cover any of this because wrong fuel is not covered. Closest dealer is Blacktown, but NO-ONE can contact the service department. OK, Denlo in Parramatta is not much further I'll check them. Nah sorry sir, we'll try but we're FULLY booked seeing its xmas eve almost. Bugger it, I'll try them seeing its where I bought it. So I tow it to Denlo.
Then 5 minutes later, Blacktown dealer ring and let me know they can probably deal with it today. But its on a towtruck to Parramatta, so sorry too late to try you. Towed at 11am, arrived about 12.30 or something, so car can't be looked at today...
My mind is reeling with a $9,000 engine fix and seeing my other car can't tow the camper, I have just f*cked xmas for my family. D*ckhead.
I pester the service department, very nicely, but they have other cars in the queue so again, we'll try sir but no chance today, next Wednesday is our first chance. They close at 4pm, and at 3pm I am royally screwed.
They ring at 3.15, and let me know the service manager has cleared the fuel, lines are free from filings and all is ready. What a relief! They actually got the thing cleared and even washed it for me.
Big props to Denlo VW Parramatta service department and now my kids get their xmas up the coast!
How many 6 packs of beer do you owe these unscrupulous dealers?
