Call Ateco direct and ask for the name of the Manager of Customer Service. Then address all corespondence to him/her directly.

Looking forward to some boring old facts coming to light.
OK, here are some facts, extended from my last post, for you. There was no wild speculation on my part.SLC206 said:Ah, it's heartening to see that innuendo and wild speculation are alive and well on AF

So, YOU tell me - how would contamination require replacement of the injector?

Some people here are convinced that the injector may have been dirty, but with a bit of cleaning it would be brand new again - unfortunately that doesn't always happen. I agree that a petrol injector completely failing is an unusual occurrence, but that doesn't preclude it from being what actually happened.
gibgib said:My experience dealing with Ateco was unsatisfactory.
I've posted briefly about my dealings before regarding main bearings in the gearbox of my first Berlingo van failing before 80,000k's.
Being a commercial vehicle, it was under 2 year warranty conditions.
The problem first arose 8 months out of warranty.
If it was something minor I would have taken it on the chin, but a gearbox is a major component, & should, especially a manual, last 2 engines you'd expect, certainately more than 76k's.
I went the posting snail mail letters (not registered), faxes, 20 - 30 phones calls - myself & wife over 4 - 5 months. They rarely called back when they said they would.
In summary, the claim was unsuccessful as the vehicle was out of warranty.
Great!
As a sort of pseudo ambassador of your make, Citroen Australia, I am ashamed you treat your customers in this way.
My protest has been in the quiet form predominantly, ie. if anyone asks what my vehicle is like, I tell them the truth.
