Now the car is in the garage, everything should move quickly and smoothly: Operation Warp Speed!
- —Hello, Mr Dunleavy?
- —Yes
- —Everything here is under control.
- Now I am beginning to worry
- —We need a special tool to analyse the car and we’ve found one…in Bordeaux.
- Okay
So two weeks later the tool turns up, so from here everything speeds up?
- —Hello, Mr Dunleavy?
- —Yes
- —We’ve analysed the car and here I’m going to get a bit technical…
- Wow! well this sounds complicated.
- —In the high voltage battery there is an electronic controller
- —Yes?
- —Well it’s not working.
Luckily for me my training as an engineer prepared me for this sort of analysis.

- —We will need to open the battery
- —Okay
- —But there is only one garage in France that is licensed to do this and it’s in……Auxerre, so we will be transferring it shortly.
So two weeks later my VW Car app tells me that the car still hasn’t moved.
- Then the garage calls me to tell me that the car is on the trailer ready to leave.
- —The holidays are coming soon, any idea how long this might take?
- —You need to count on a month at least.
