Has anyone had the misfortune to need a new battery for their Matiz. If so, what was the cost? I've been told that they can only be obtained through a Daewoo dealer and the cost is "approximately" £140. This is for a Matiz, not a Ferrari!! A drop test will be another £37!!
If you buy a Matiz, get rid of it before the warranty expires. If you keep it after that time, that's when your expensive problems will start.
I'm not quite sure where the quote came from, but I bought a new battery for my Matiz 2 years ago for £33 two years ago, the first one lasted fours years and was beginning to give problems. I just went into the Local Car part dealer (in this case Moto-Serv and bought one.
Trouble free motoring you will never be without a car
what a sales pitch what a great idea what were they on about?
Thank god for the AA. is far more my experience such a shame really, all the whistles and bells built into a little five door super mini if it went as good as it looks I would be happy, but!interior light six times, gearbox, ecm, wipers, brake discs, wheel bearings, radiator bottom hose, radio, aerial, engine management light came on took garage umpteen attempts to fix it three weeks of in and out. high tension lead fried. will it ever reach 40000 miles? guess what? its died again and it will be looked at in 9 days time now that the warranty is out at least my wife is on first name terms with the staff.
My Matiz has been a nightmare
Bought V reg for £1400 with 31000 miles on the clock on the way home windscreen cracked had to replace it £140
After about 1 month radiator hose came off lost all coolant
Came off again 3 weeks later turned out to be head gasket causing cooling system to pressurise
Cost me £250 for new head gasket
Go car back last week the suddenly developed loss of power fault when driving back to garage replaced HT leads
Week later engine started smoking vey bad. Piston rings cracked
Scrapping car!
This is on a V reg with only 30000 miles just bought a VW Polo will never buy another Matiz - looks good, but engine is rubbish.
