The time they have taken on it so far would surely have paid for the engine by now.
believe me, as an ex bmw employee, unfortunately for rob his car will have been parked up in either the corner of the workshop or compound, and worked on only when theres nothing else to do or one of the 'techs' is bored.
there is no money in it for the dealer, and no bonus potential for the lads, so unfortunately apathy rules in this case.
i'd be surprised if theres been more than 6 hrs workon this car in the whole time its been in.
But when Rob comes to buy another car the dealer will be hoping he might spend another £20k with them. This is the issue with dealers - short term'ism. Everything you say above I completely agree with / believe, but haven't they got the forsight to see how much long term reputational this event could cause as Rob will obviously be speaking to friends / locals / work colleagues and anyone he meets about his experience, particularly if they say they are thinking of buying a SEAT in the future. Bad news travels like wildfire!
