2 weeks tomorrow since my report was sent off, ringing the dealer tomorrow for an update & drafting my letter to vw customer services in advance of a less than 100% contribution.

Had mine in at VW Lookers, they're going to do it FOC.
Won't touch the drivers wing as its ok but Jason the warranty guy said if/when it does ring him again and they'll sort it.

Asked if they'd remove the foam to prevent but they won't, which seems a bit daft.

Offered a contribution for my sills but was still a fortune, got cheaper quotes from other places.

Right guys took mine to vw sinclairs swansea where they put the claim in, 3 weeks later I recieve a letter from them sayin to contact them and I can recieve 50% goodwill, I was not happy about this, rang them up spoke to the manager he insisted that I could have it done free but I would have to phone vw customer services explain they have offered 50% and they will make up the other 50%, done that and now they have asked why the swansea vw only offered me 50% there opening a case and want to speak to the manager there and they will phone me back! This isn't looking good atm!

How did you get on with Sinclairs Swansea? I'm going to ring them tomorrow to book an appointment to look at my rusty drivers side wing, spot of rust on bottom of drivers door and rusty boot release.  Its a 55 plate gti and hasn't any service history with them so expecting to be fobbed off.

Just had a call from my local VW Garage. VW have agreed 100% cost on the wings on my car so I have booked it in for later this month. They only offered 50% on sill repairs, which bought the cost down to £356.50!! TBH I can get a mate of mine to do it for less than that so not going to entertain the sill repairs @ VW... One thing that has annoyed me is blending! Apparently to have the wings blended to match the original paint I have to pay 100+VAT per side!! Anyone else had this, do I need to get back on the phone and have a moan? I will need them blended as my car is black!!  :fighting:
