Sounds like you are lucky to be getting all done for free!! Im still waiting for VW to get back to me, has been 2 weeks now.  Not sure how long it should take!

Just had VW on the phone, agreed is a warranty claim and offered 50/50 on the one wing and the 2 sills.  They want £770 +VAT so will be about £500 for me to pay.  Not sure how they can accept its a warranty claim and only offer to cover half!! I guess its up to me to fight it now!

I've just emailed my local dealer regarding rust.  Was shocked when I fully checked over the car.  There is a small rust patch on the front offside wing, bubbling on front nearside, rust by both sills at the door, a small patch of rust on drivers door and bubbling on the paint around the badge on the boot.  Couldn't believe I have found this much bubbling, chancing my luck getting it under warranty but fingers crossed lol.

So got a phone call today from the VW garage.

He sounded positive and I have to take my car in for inspection on Saturday however he did state that VW may not cover the full cost, started saying that in June it changed and the paint factory covered 50% and VW were no longer willing to cover the other 50% and started talking about service history and things.

When i started to talk about the car having a full VW service history he did sound a little more positive about 100% cover.  However if I get a 50/50 offer I will be letting VW know about how I feel and hopefully coax the other 50% out of them.

That said I will see how I get on and keep this updated :D
