  • Dealer knows nothing of new engines for D-Sport's. P****d off!

    Hey, let me just start from the beginning to explain the situation before I ask for help. Basically I ordered myself a DS3 D-Sport HDi 110 in Belle-ile Blue/Black all the way back in August. I was originally told I would be driving around by the end of September...... This was me at the time - (Very happy)

    Then one day I got a call saying that my car had been delayed until 13th October because the French had all been on holiday (at the same time?) and the factory had been closed all month. Also why the saleswoman wouldn’t know that before confuses me, especially if this is a yearly thing...... This was me at that time - :S (Confused)

    Ok then I read on here that all the D-Sport engines were being altered into the e versions of themselves and got a call on the same day saying my car had been delayed once again until the beginning of November. I then put 2 and 2 together and thought that maybe the delay could be because the engines were being changed and my car had not yet been built and I may have been getting the new eHDi 110...... My face by then - :/ (Thoughtful and although annoyed about the delay, excited about possible upgrade)

    Ok so today I get a call saying that they had found a DS3 D-Sport HDi 110 available for free release but it was in Cherry Red/Black. So I went down to my dealer to discuss my worries armed with the handy Mr. Bigfeet's jpg of the engine news (Thanks dude). My priorities at the time where; if the Blue car would have the new engine I would wait, but if not then the Red would be more than fine. Simple, right? Well the woman the goes on to tell me that the D-Sports were not getting an engine upgrade and it was only the D-Styles that were being upgraded. I showed her the statement saying "From November, we are pleased to announce the introduction of the eHDi 110 and THP 155 6 speed manual, replacing the HDi 110 and THP 150" yet she still insisted (and get this) that those new engines were the ones being fitted in the D-Styles. Now it is quite clear by the document, which she also had a copy sent to her, that this is not the case...... My face now - :vcebcbecbei (Angry, I was not involved in some sort or accident, resulting in a face deformation)

    Can anyone out there please confirm for me that this lady is an idiot and let me know if they have heard anything similar? I just have no faith in this lady now and am so worried that the "red" one will turn up in baby blue with a pink roof. Sorry about the long rant. Sigh.

    Yep she's an idiot. Biggy has never made things up and gives us true gen.

    Yes, all the french go on holiday for August, the whole of it, every year since time began. It's what the french do. Like Scots week at Blackpool.:0)

            A cheers guys, nice to know I am not in the wrong for wanting better service. I dont know what to do now though, because I can either request the Cherry Red/Black one which definitely has the normal HDi 110 or push to talk to someone higher about if I can get the Blue with the eHDi 110. The thing is my current car is falling apart and will not last much longer and is also drinking fuel like a hobo with some White Lightning. If I go for the Red I can be driving an awesome DS3 and saving money on fuel in about 10 days, whereas if I inquire about the Blue one I can see myself waiting until Christmas... Literally!

            How can I check she has actually placed my order anyways? Is there somewhere online or something?

                Yeah I did think that but in all seriousness I dont think my car will last that long. The downpipe is falling off my exhaust manifold because one of the holes has stripped its thread, the tires are stupidly bald, the driveshaft boots have all come off so now the shafts make noises going round corners, my clutch is starting to slip loads and the gearbox is getting difficult to find the gears properly.

                The fact I have waited 2 months with a car in this condition already means waiting another 2 or 3 if I have to start my order process again will be hell.... If she even makes it!

                  If you decided to have the red would you end up regretting it? Its like going for second best (if blue was your first choice?) I suppose you could phone up/email Citroen UK? i guess they would know if an order had been placed and then mention that you are not happy with how your order has been handled and that the sales woman knows crap all about the specs.

                    if they can find a red i'm sure they can find others, seen a few yellows at dealers. Not many blues if any though. Even saw an OK today

                              As for finding another... I dont mind the Red, in fact I really like it. I was torn between that and the blue from the start anyway so I wont feel like it is a compromise. Plus my pug is Blue too maybe a change would be nice.
