We just got back our Jeep

 




Finally, after a very long wait and unfortunately just as long downtime, the Jeep is finally back and ready for the next trips!

After the Jeep was in another workshop due to a defect in the turbocharger, we were yes on our European tour, which went to Great Britain. Unfortunately, we had the problem there that the vehicle was on strike again. But we got very good help on the spot and could finish the return trip to Germany fortunately on our own.

We had already informed the corresponding workshop, which is an official Jeep workshop, in advance, but they only said that we could drive on without hesitation. Not long after we were back in Berlin, we then had the problem that on the way to our family, the Jeep went into emergency running and had to be towed off the highway.

Now we have notified the appropriate workshop, conclusion – appointment in December – so 6 weeks of standstill in Berlin, in which we could not fall back on our Jeep.

After these 6 weeks, we have now rented a tow truck to bring the 150km long way to the workshop behind us and then hopefully come back with a repaired car after the repair. We were then told on the spot that there was no time and that we should take the vehicle back with us. No apology, no leniency, no help…. But a new appointment, this time in January, so again 4 weeks that pass.

In January again rented the tow truck and on to the workshop for this appointment, which was also carried out, we got a loaner car and it was agreed that we would be informed of all costs. It was also promised that they would get back to us as soon as they had a diagnosis. To our surprise, they didn’t even call us and when they did, they told us that the vehicle was ready and that they had a bill of almost 1,000€.

Well, we wanted our Jeep back after now almost 3 months of standing, so we went and picked it up. Happy to be back in the driver’s seat, we drove with the usual 80km/h back to Berlin. But the joy did not last long, hardly we had driven 100km, the engine control lamp went on again and I could just drag myself to the next rest area. – The same problem; engine is in the emergency run.

Again the ADAC, this dragged us now in you workshop of the Jeep König in Berlin.

And what can I say, here everything was looked at directly and a complete diagnosis was made. It came out that the parts, which were described by the previous workshop as „damage-free“, were now defective, and not only since now. We then ordered everything from the new workshop and had it installed, and an all-round check was also carried out.

So our Jeep can now safely and reliable accompany us from A to B again for the next adventures.

Thanks to our Partner – Jeep König – in Berlin.

They took care of our Jeep so well. They made it possible to fix the Jeep, even with a problem another Jeep repairshop wasn’t able to handle.

It took now 5 Months over all to fix the problem with some highs and lows but in the end we got him back.
Sadly to late for our Corse-Trip but at least now when we want to go to Montenegro.

The way to have a fully equipped Jeep again is long but we want to do an complete rebuild on the Camper-Build so stay tuned! 
More of this soon!
