Do they still print the Haynes manual for every car? Mind you, it would have to come with diagnostic equipment and a laptop.
Yes they do. You can even get a Haynes manual for a Lancaster bomber !

In my experience I've had 2 VW's. First one had issues with the Catylic converter? Second has been fine, but caught up in the emissions scandal.VW are a bugger for that.
And...years ago I had a car rental firm at the airport, part of the fleet were Corsas, the 3 cylinder ones. One went pop at just over 15,000 miles, then another one at the same mileage. When the guys came to collect the cars I got talking to one, who used to work at Vauxhall, he told me the faults were engineered into the car to go at just over 15,000 miles. IIFC the service interval was, guess what....
My missus had a Vauxhall and it was utter crap. Constant issues despite the car being brand new.

That engine management light is a complete con, if it’s on automatic MOT failure yet I can be something so simple, but they go off all the bloody time.

...I'm not Edd China you know, I just rented the fuckers out....;)
Are modern cars just too awkward and to clever for their own good?
Yes. Been driving an old Mini for 9 years, has never let me down.

I call bollox on that guy. The warranty costs would dwarf any savings.VW are a bugger for that.
