My BYD Seal just came back from being repaired from a rear-end collision. I just got it back today but I noticed the trunk's button no longer opens the trunk when the car is locked, and the lock button inside the trunk does not work either. I have raised it with the repair team at the shop before I drove off, and they're going to contact BYD to fix the issue and call me back on Monday when I can bring it back in to the shops. Not sure what's happened but the other driver's insurance got this repaired at their choice of provider so they didn't go through a BYD authorized repair shop. Everything else seems to work ok however and there are no other problems. Hope you get your car back soon and enjoy your hire car.
I always thought that by law distributors were required to hold stocks of parts for the vehicles they sold for a certain number of years, BYD obviously isn't playing that game.
Hyundai and Kia don’t even keep injectors in stock in Australia for their diesel engines. A friend just recently needed a new engine for his 16 month old Kia Sportage - 3 months wait. Another needed injectors, 6 week wait!
Not a fair comparison as the Pajero has been around a long time therefore not surprising that parts are readily available. BYD Seal is new here and it will be a while before it has built up support.
Terrible time for you to get in a wreck mate I feel ya! You just want things to be back to normal when it happens asap. I'm guessing the hire car is a Polestar 2.... 😆
@@Audios81 Facebook groups/marketplace. Expensive directly from the dealer. But i've seen a lot of people selling the original wheels on fb when they put their own rims on the car.
Don't know how you did it. My Atto 3 has been sitting at the repairers for about 2 months now for a rear end smash. It will be another month before I get it back. I am in QLD.
Thanks for the update David

With my insurer the repair is done by THEIR chosen repairer and the other repairer is billed.
I have a rear reenforced bar as i got a tow bar fitted and it required the removal of the rear bar

One month to get a rear Bumper cover
Just had to get one for a Pajero sport
It took one day to arrive from Sydney to Newcastle

Sorry about your Seal! Hope it comes back ok! Does anyone know where to buy a new Performance Wheel? Partner massively kerbed it and need a new one.
