1999 Daewoo Lanos S review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine misfire at 6500 miles that took three attempts to diagnose and 8 weeks of repairs by which time the dealer had stripped the head and reworked the valves, changed the EMU, plugs, leads and several other electronic components. The engine now uses excessive quantities of oil and sounds like a tractor on cold mornings. It has taken in excess of 20 communications to get this far and the car still uses approx. 1 litre of oil every 400 miles.
General comments?
It has been very difficult communicating with Daewoo and trying to get them to fix the car. They appear to find it difficult to reply to letters and phone calls. This is a great shame as other than its engine problems and poor after sales service the car handles well, is cheap to buy and cheap to run. Trouble free motoring, that will be the Daewoo!!
