just done the pre motorway clean (sad but whatever) and noticed my right side skirt directly below where the door sits has patches of rust and bubbles from rust under rhe paint. now serious or bad or large but to me obvious. anyway i felt a bit and it peeled away leaving bear metal. iv coated with a good sealant and wax in the meantime to slow any rust down on that oart but am i right in thinking i can claim warranty for rust?
Its a 05 mk5 gti with 70000 on the clock.
Thanks!!

12 yrs corrosion, but I think you'll find they'll say it was chipped causing the damage and then in turn rust. Its a inside out warranty so does not include external damage as the cause, typical of rust low on the car. Give it a go though.

Whats the proceedure then? Sorry iv never had to use warranty.
Well thats typical. ill argue that its "technically" inside as it doesnt actually see any sunlight or weather until i open the car door. if not ill hace to pay a mate to do the respray which id rather not.

I guess just get yourself into the dealer and get it assessed, you might be lucky?
