Thanks for this post - it reminded me to get mine done. In case anyone else is dithering - here's my experience.
I phoned VW Croydon on Monday. Their records showed that it hadn't had the recall, and booked it in for today (Wednesday). I dropped it off at 9.30, and mentioned that I might have to collect it tomorrow if it wasn't ready before the school run.
I got a phone call at 1pm saying they were just finishing. They advised me on brake pads / discs / wipers / etc etc, but not in a hard sell kind of way. When I collected it at 2pm, it had been washed and vacuumed.
All for free. Parts alone would have been £96 inc VAT. Dealers get a bad press sometimes, but I'll give them credit here.
