MK2 questions regarding fixes
Posted: Sat Apr 08, 2017 1:18 am
Hey guys.

I finally bought a megane MK2 1.6dci last month, I was very happy because I've wanted one for a long time, and I am happy to say that I'm part of the club
But first things first, it's an 07 mk2 with 73000 miles, I got it at a dealership in the UK, and when I got it my wife noticed that the rear passenger window wouldn't go down, I called it to the salesman's attention and he said that it was no big deal as it was probably just the module and it would be a cheap fix, I agreed to take the car for a test drive under the condition that he would fix the window if I ended up buying it.
I went for a test drive and I noticed that when I was shifting gears it seemed to revv a bit before the RPMs would go down, but I dismissed it as it being me not clutching properly and leaving the foot on the throttle.
Because I really wanted the car, I took it home, and I was really happy, then, looked through all of the paperwork and couldn't find anything stating that the timing belt had been done, so I contacted the dealer and questioned him about it, he said that he didn't know and that it didn't had any record of it being changed, (I should had asked) so I should do it ASAP, and he offered to do it for £400, I said that it sounded good and was going to get it fixed as soon as I could afford it, but that meanwhile I would appreciate the window being done, he ordered the part 2 weeks before and it had just arrived, so I took the car there for it to be fixed, after 3 days he told me that he had the wrong part and that he had to order a new window module, so I collected the car, and a week later when the part arrived I did both the timing belt and water pump plus he had the window fixed as well, after the job was done he told me that it was just a poor connection after all and that nothing was faulty.
After I got home I noticed that the window didn't go down if I press the button fully, but only if I press it half way down or up, as soon as I press it fully the window locks and stops whatever action it is doing, I texted him saying that the window was still faulty, he replied by saying that it wasn't a fault but a different control module and that it goes up and down therefore it's fully functional...
At the same time I started noticing that something was off when I clutched, as the car revvs up by 100-300 RPM before it starts going down...It's hard to reproduce as it doesn't happen all the time and it varies in severity, and I'm 100% sure it's not me leaving the foot on the throttle while clutching I've took this problem to the dealer an he told me it was normal and that I was being paranoid.
I'm really upset about it as I absolutely love the car, how much do you guys think that I will have to spend to fix all of these problems? Is there something that the dealer should be doing differently? Should I be doing something differently? Honestly I feel like a schmuck, I wanted the car so bad that I ended up ignoring a lot of stuff...

Brought car with rear window not working, dealer offered to fix it, window only goes down/up with button half pressed, dealer says it's fixed.
Car revving up 100-300RPM when clutching, dealer says it's normal.
Dealer forgot to mention that timing belt hadn't been changed already spent £400 on the car.
What should I do? How much will I spend to fix everything?
Thanks for reading guys
