[White_way_UP!]

Morning All, I have been left a voicemail from VW dealer saying thatour Up needs to go back for a product enhancement. Apparently a water drain needs to be fitted to the chasis. Work will take approx 2 hours. Seems with all the bad weather recently our Ups are filling with water!! Anyone have any more details?


Thanks, Mark

First time I've heard it. When someone gets the chance, would you be so kind to take a picture to check if this is something new models get as a standard?

Another post mentioned a couple of current modifications, one being the drain and one being a mount for the ECU. I wasn't sure if the drain was all cars or just those with sunroofs as a number did seem to have drain issues.

Usual teething troubles when a car actually gets into service. Even with all the testing they do small niggles still come up, drain plug getting blocked has caused issues on other makes/models and in some cases did cause very wet and soggy carpets!!

Love to know the rationale behind the ECU mount and the issue?

 

[White_way_UP!]

No sunroof on our car, so it's not related to that.

Is yours a 2012 or 2013 build?

Is the VIN:

WVWZZZAAZC or
WVWZZZAAZD ?

C is 2012 and D is 2013 apparently...

 

[White_way_UP!]

I'll have to check, but it's an ex-demo model so likely to be 2012...

first I have heard of it, will have to wait and see if anyone else gets a phone call from theri dealers.

I took my car in with the gearbox noise and was told of these two "recall issues" they said it was the ECU bracket and something to do with a drainage issue, I dropped it off before work and picked it up afterwards and they said that was it all sorted..

My take up! has just filled itself up! with water in drivers footwell, there is definately a issue with drainage problem
take up!

 

[willowaz]

so freya, has your dealer fixed the two issues for free for you?

and hoppy have you taken yours back to the dealer too?

 

[hoppy40]

Going to contact my dealer (chester) tomorrow, would be interested to know if there is a official recall.

 

[hoppy40]

just to add my car has no sunroof, one for Sherlock Holmes I think this!

I had the ECO recall done, but as far as I know, not the drain one. My car was made no later than March 2012.

 

[hoppy40]

My dealer says as far as he knows there are no recalls for the up! ?He'd not heard of any water issues, who was the vw dealer that rang you? Surely all dealer should have that information.?

 

[911sse]

I am calling my dealer this afternoon to confirm that the two recalls (ecu straps and roof drains) will be picked up in the PDI if relevant to the chassis number. And of course to make sure the maps & more is ordered! Roll on the 14th. Edited by: 911sse

 

[hoppy40]

Hey 911, can you confirm there are 2 official vw recalls on the Up! please, my dealer says there are no recalls on the up!
thanks

 

[filparis15]

I confirm the same thing in France, I have already been to the garage for that.
Some holes to do, my Up is a like a "gruyère" cheese now !!!

 

[hoppy40]

Hey paris did your car actually let rain water in?

 

[Tomver]

Does anyone have any more details about the drain plugs? I'll be picking up my Up shortly and would like to check if these enhancements have been done.
