Which amber light? Oil level, oil pressure, or other?She noticed an amber light coming on last week & brought it back to the dealer, who says the crank shaft is gone.
Would agree with most of this approach.That price sounds extremely high, but perhaps more importantly, that car is very young, to have had that problem, under normal driving conditions etc.
I'd be giving the dealer that I bought it from a lot of grief, to get them to go back to the manufacturer and get some sort of "godwill gesture", towards the cost of repair.
I'd also contact Opel directly myself, to apply pressure.
From personal experience, I can tell you that assistance can be obtained, I got 50% towards a sizeable repair, in times past (granted, different problem and different manufacturer).
If the dealer and Opel aren't playing ball, ask them if they are ready to get some free publicity on the Joe Duffy show, followed by a day in court!
Have to agree. Official Dacia dealer wanted to charge me €60 to supply and fit a cabin air filter a couple of years ago during a service. A part that costs about a fiver and takes about 5 minutes to fit DIY. I politely declined their offer and did it myself.In any event, I wouldn’t go near a main dealer for any servicing or repairs unless there was no option. Expensive and inefficient.
assuming they even put it in/change the filter. I bought a car that had a service record/ receipt from a main dealer that showed the pollen filter was changed and charged for the month before. When I went to change the pollen filter myself the next year there was no pollen filter in there ..Have to agree.

I agree. At the time I had no idea what a cabin/pollen filter was so had to look it up and when I saw the retail price and the work involved in changing it I contacted them immediately telling them not to bother, thanks..assuming they even put it in/change the filter.

This is a job most people can do themselves.
