Gonna get the coil packs done while I'm there too...they'll be sick of the sight of me

I found the pdf online just by googling 'vw golf internal rust PDF' or something like that

You're lucky! How long ago was that and what part of the country are you in? I've guessing before June 2013?

Really lucky, did you have a lot of dealings with them before you went in for it (were you a frequent customer)?

As said, very lucky, I imagine Arnold Clark have taken that on the chin themselves, VW Exec will not have authorised 100% reimbursement.

Probably in the hope you become one of their regulars I bet... so probably wouldn't be worth those of us who don't live up that neck of the woods going to them

Quoted £597 for two new wings and a tailgate, thats with 50% from VW. Not done yet though!

Just found some rust on the highest point of my NSF wheel arch, has anyone recently had this rectified on the 12yr warranty? Read this old thread and thought its possible especially as my local VW dealer is an Arnold Clark...?
