Mine went to the bodyshop yesterday, both front wings bad rust and both sills.
Called me today to say that the wings are absolute scrap and no point trying to repair them.
Apparently VW wont cover replacing my wings, so im paying for two new wings at 75+vat each and they're covering the rest. Im still happy enough tbh. Can't wait to get it back fri, im paying extra to have my whole front end painted to have it sitting perfect.  :evilgrin:

I find it amazing how it's luck of the draw to how you have to pay towards it if anything, I would've thought VW would have a standard price in place for the work tbh so everyone gets the same deal

Has to be dealers and how they word/process your warranty claim I think. I work for Seat and deal a lot with warranties, a lot is down to them. Im pretty sure one if not both my wings have seen previous paint anyway so I was happy enough to pay for new wings, kind of glad the whole lot wasnt rejected!

....You are forgetting 'The English Factor'! This is VW UK and not VW Deutscheland.

Even German postal services are better!

Still need to get my wings looked at. I have a local bodyshop painting up my rear GTI valance, front and rear Votex Spoiler and 3D badge this week so will either go to VW after that or get the bodyshop to quote me. If wings are only £75+vat each then if I'm rejected by VW then I'll be getting my own wings and my local paint shop to paint them.

p.s. I was gutted when they password protected that useful .pdf. However I checked on my computer this morning and I have it saved already.  :laugh:

anybody else needing it I can send it too (no FB likes needed.  :wink: lol)

....As you are running a diseasal, VW are more likely to sort it out free of charge. [I think you owe me a FB 'Like' for telling you that!  :wink: :laugh:]

I intend to go visit VW on Friday afternoon, I have the afternoon off. Is there any documentation I should arm myself with? Also I'm just south of Edinburgh and intend on going to VW Western at either Fort Kinnaird or Gorgie Road. Has anybody on the forum had any experience with dealers around about Edinburgh. Let me know, cheers.

I've heard good things about the one at the Fort... Reading this has got me all worried so going to check the car out after work and if I see anything will be heading straight to the fort to get it checked!

BTW as an aside, what normal garage do you us? VW or independant?

Good stuff. I might try and head up there at the weekend (still not been yet  :laugh:) or any day that the sun is out. I have bubbling around various parts of the car so a bright sunny day is best for them to see and photograph them.

Teo10, I have started using Autohaus Edinburgh up at Bilston Glen, Loanhead. They're Audi specialists, one of them Audi's ex-RS Master Tech, but they deal with VW, SEAT, Skoda, Range Rover, Porsche, etc. Excellent reputation and I've never been let down by them yet. Good pricing and they are a REVO dealer too.  :happy2:

Keep us posted whether your car has rust or not and if you do go to VW and what they say.

Cheers  :happy2:
