Hi i have just purchased a golf gt , private .
It has started leaking a bit of oil .
It was booked at vw today to do the dsg oil change , so I asked them to look for the oil leak .
The mechanic said it is the front crankshaft oil seal that has failed , quoted me £280
I have the paperwork from the previous owners that at another vw garage the timing chain was replaced under warranty in april .
A mechanic friend said that they should have replaced this seal when doing the job and it is vw`s responsibility.
I rang the local vw and they said they need the car to inspect it further , this I questioned when they have already told me the part that failed .
What do you think the chances of getting this done under warranty are , any advice , thanks
