No, Sir, Your VTS is wrong...

[Karl]

So I ordered a Piper 4-1 Manifold,

I just rang citroen to buy a Gasket.

He tells me I should have my cat in manifold, and should see it from the engine bay...

Tells me my VTS is "wrong" for having a cat under the car..

I said as far as Im aware, no VTS had a cat in the manifold...


Computer says No.


- Ugh, Citroen Ashford isnt a good dealership.

~ in the end he sold me a gasket for my manifold for 3.70....
does that sound right?

[Kelly]

the gasket is like a template kind of thingy isn't it? sounds a bit cheap but the price isn't far wrong, i think

[Karl]

Its a bit strange they dont know about the car they made.

He knows its a VTS not a VTR... :S

[Vinny_VSX]

I thought that the phase 2 saxos all had the cats in the manifold :S

He should have a knowledge of the cars Citroen made but it seems they employ complete mongs half the time. Probably has something to do with that equal opportunity crap.

no, vts's never had the cat in the manifold iirc.

[Karl]

Nah Kelly, this is the Parts Manager,
very well spoken / well dressed guy.

But if it's wrong, I'll tell him one of my e-friends called him a Tard.

[jeeves_101]

£3.70 sounds about right, when i did my manifold i put 2 manifold gaskets on and it cost me about £8ish.

[Karl]

Why 2 may I ask?

[jeeves_101]

my vts had 2 on as standard, and thats what i read somewhere before.

plus they are just laffer thin metal ones.

Oh well, I'd be happy to bash him with my logitech for you ;)

[Karl]

so will I not be able to just use one Gasket?

pratt coulda told me I needed two...

[jeeves_101]

i expect you could, but i read you need 2, so i got 2, and when i took the old ones off there were 2.

i doubt he knew, there are numbest set of fooking nuts in the world at the dealers, i went in for a part number, but couldn't give the exact part, so went home, found it and went back, when i got there he said "i can't give you the part number", coont!

[Karl]

Crap...
Might have to order another one of them then,

if it is the right thing he's ordered for me. >.<

[yerdusk]

Price sounds about right mate. I bought 2 for my vtr from euro car parts, think they cost me £5 something for the two. Much better than citroen imo.

[jeeves_101]

they are a bunch of monkeys tbh, and some at the weston dealer look like monkeys aswell.

[Karl]

Will ring up again in an hour or so and tell him I need a second, lol.

[Wayne]

price sounds about right for a gasket.

[Japman]

ctiroen in swansea are like planks aswell

[GreenSaxo]

0349 L3 is the part number.. parts site says you only need one...

[Karl]

I love you Mark.

when can i have this lower brace my man?

[Scattle]

Bit of a nutter, but £3.70 is not too bad I suppose.

[GreenSaxo]

did you get this sorted karl?

[JimoVTR]

If i go to my local dealership

ME DEALER
