765 Paint Chipping Around Fuel Cap

Hey team, I actually noticed this ages ago but I totally forgot about it, but I noticed it the other day and thought I'd ask if it was worth complaining about. Hopefully you can see it alright, but it's on the outside grey bit.



I bought this new in October and I noticed it not long after, so although it's been 8 months now I reckon that shouldn't happen, at all.

Am I right to be annoyed at that?

 

Cheers all. I've emailed the picture over, and I'll follow it up with a call tomorrow.

 

How is it wear and tear? What would cause that? Bear in mind it's only 8 months old and I noticed after 2 or 3.

edit... just thought about it So you're thinking the fuel pump hitting off the edges? hmmm I guess we only have my word for this, but I'm *very* careful not to do that.

Anyway, I've emailed them so we'll see what they say.

 

Not yet. Emailed them the picture today, and will follow up tomorrow with a call when they are open. I'll let you know what they say.

 

Wee update, the dealership wants me to take it in so they can take pictures to make a claim. I won't be able to get in until Saturday though.

 

The key's sticking in mine as well, so either way, they're replacing or fixing something.

I get that paint chipping is down to putting the pump nozzle in and out, but painting that seems like a *really* silly thing to do - either make it incredibly hardy paint, or leave it bare metal.

 

Wee update... they're replacing the fuel cap. Not until the end of June though, they're a bit busy atm.

Apparently the key sticking was because someone's been trying to get into the tank. The guy who looked at it said it's clearly been bashed and tampered with... wtf?!

 

Took less than a week for them to get back to me once the claim went through. Guess it just differs dealer by dealer

 

Yea, it's really annoying, it seems like such an obvious design flaw to me - why would you paint that knowing that folk are gonna knock the petrol pump nozzle off of it?

 

Aye they replaced it under warranty, and told me to be careful when filling her up.
