Volkswagen India — The fuel tank door of Volkswagen polo car priced at rs 5000/- | |||
The fuel tank door of Volkswagen polo car which is a plastic part painted in body color, it broke for no good reason while filling the tank. On approaching the company I got a reply that the part is not available at the store and an order is to be placed for the same, on inquiring about the price I was told it is approximately 700 to 800 rs. I kept my car covered and parked it as I wanted to avoid any mischief by pass byers. After repeated enquiries it finally arrived two weeks later. Now as I wanted to send my car for the fuel lid change I inquired about the charges and I was told the price of the fuel lid is rs 4919/- only. It is difficult for me to digest a plastic body part of 5" radius can cost rs 5000/- .this is simply a case of cheating on the part of a company of such repute. I am now compelled to drive my car in this condition, the photograph is attached with this complaint. Was this information helpful? | |||

Happened with me too. The fuel tank flap broke off from the lid, perhaps by the petrol pump attendant. Called the agency, approximate price 2000 or 6000 after inspection. It is shocking why VW does not have locking mechanism to avoid unnecessary expenditure. I was expecting around 500, give and take few. Finally I used araldite, spent 45 rupees and the lid is fine now.
I have Volkswagen polo TDI 1.2 . My disel tank black cover was misplaced or stolen by petrol pump operator. I noticed it after 1 week on next refueling. When I visited nearest service center at Nashik city they told me that the price of the tank plug is about 4, 000 thousand rupees. I shocked after this hearing this price. I asked why this plug is so costly they told me that includes a breathing valve etc. But I think this is kind of looting by company it can't be that costly. The price of plug is not justifiable.
Please be do something and stop looting
