- Hello everyone.. I have a question.. my friend, she bought myvi se 1.5 on 2016 november.. The just went service for two times.. then she had finance problem, and didnt go for the following service for about 1 and half years. She didnt even went to service at the normal workshops since she was financially broke past years even now. Now, her kilometres has increased to 45,000km. And the car finally stopped running. When she asked a mechanic regarding this, he said the car engine oil has become too thick till it blocks the function of the engine and now the engine is damaged. So now, one of her cousin gave idea, that she could do her service at normal workshop and bring her car to perodua service centre, so that she could claim her engine warranty as if the car engine has spoiled to some problem. Is that possible? Or is there any other way she could repair her engine, without much cost? Please help..
It's like what Ixeo said - if she had financial issues, she should've sold the car earlier to offset her bank loan whilst the car was running and be done with it. Besides, usually 1st service is free - why wouldn't she have gone for that?
Anyway, now that the engine is seized the only way she can repair is pay or claim total loss by committing insurance fraud.
Good luck to her seriously. Might be cheaper and easier to just repair the car outside of the warranty. 48k km seize might be recoverable.
