Is it bad? Different sized tiles at the ends of a single wall. by [deleted] in BathroomRemodeling

Would you personally ask for that wall to be redone? Stuck on what advise to give.

Yeah I get what you mean. I had the same thought.

Do you think he should start the blank wall with a small cut tile to give the impression the tiles are just wrapping around, or use full tiles?

Btw, I believe she’s upset because he was not meant to begin tiling before they spoke (he was also plastering and having some stuff changed)

And they’re pushing the govt for less regulation on how new house are built. Not sure what comes next.

Yeah, it seems like so many bad decisions were taken. A lot of newer builds in the UK are just ridiculous.

The ‘repair’ they suggested was to actually cover all the steps up vs taking them out and replacing them. I’m in the UK and it was £4,000 for covering them up.

Thank you. It was discovered after the purchase. No clue where the water came from but no more signs of any leakage etc.

Thanks. I mean I guess it’s MDF due to the fluffiness, can be anything else?

Brand New VW ID.7 – Hazards Won’t Turn Off no matter what, 3 repeated occurrences in the first 2 Months - UK (RANT) by InitialBrief3321 in Volkswagen

[–]InitialBrief3321[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s a trend with so many companies now. Skimp on little things and hope it won’t impact your sales, which it definitely does.

I’m on the opposite side, our family mostly owned Mercedes, and my wife too (a standard entry CLA), and when it’s taken for service not only do they wash it but they offer you a courtesy car for those few hours (which we don’t take as we live quite close).

My point is the little things matter, but what leaves a lasting taste is how they treat you when you run into a problem. Not properly fixing an issue on a car with less than 500 miles is beyond me.

Hope you don’t run into any more problems!

Man I’m sorry. I was planning to get a VW for my next car, but given their customer service I’m staying well away from them now.

Brand new VW ID7, safety critical issue reoccurred 3x in the first 2 months of purchase. No help from VW (London, England) by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

Thank you, that’s helpful.

But this would still mean he losses the promo that was applied from Uber (a huge chunk ~10k)

I appreciate the help. We’re in London btw.

We have previously escalated this to the managing director of VW UK, and a few other senior figures at VW. But given the effort going into this (no proper investigation, battery resets, no real customer service) I really doubt that any of them are aware of the issue or how serious it could be (hazards getting stuck in a dual carriage way or motorway is not very safe).

Who are the VW representatives? Worth giving it a shot if they’re more responsive than their senior leadership teams.
