Found rust on my 06 this weekend and I'm off to the local dealers tomorrow... It has done 53,000 but is full VW serviced the last one was in March this year - I thought they are supposed to do a check of the paint/body when servced?
It seems to be around the 5 year mark and onwards that the rust starts to form. Anyone with younger cars - I'd advise you all to keep an eye on your front wheelarches!.
Where abouts?
At the 'highest' point of the arch of the wheelarch , along the very bottom of the wheelarch lip , thats where mine has went , and if its in its early stages you will have to be really close to see it , and also at an angle , depending on what colour your car is! I can feel the bubbling if I run my fingertip along the area affected.
