yeah i have got them done last year,  you`ll have to take the car in for them to have a look at the wheels/ take pics and then get it confirmed by vw that they`ll replace them.    Good Luck  :happy2:

good point jay, i think they try anyway they can to get out of coughin a new set of rims up.    they went as far on mine to check the numbers on the back of the wheels to make sure they were the OE`s for the car.

....Correct. Any sign of the slightest kerbing or even chipped lacqeur and VW UK will say no.

This afternoon I finished work and went into Arnold Clark VW at Linwood. Firstly I spoke to a female service advisor and told her about the corrossion on my wheels. She called a guy to ask for his expert opinion, so he came out and had a look at the wheels. There was only one that was badly corroded.

I went inside and sat down, he came back about 10 minutes later to say that he would replace all 4 alloys under warranty!!! BONUS!! So the car is booked in next Friday for a full new set of 18" Monza's  :happy2:


I was shocked they are replacing all 4 because 3 of them have minor curbing, but im won't complain  :smiley:

Good news, H13! You got lucky. I've heard some will honour a warranty re white worm but not many.
