Just a quick shout to check how many forum members are from this wee island !!! Have most of you had any dealings with your local VW DEALER.  Eg. Wing rust etc. how  issues got resolved.  Maybe share local VAG independent workshops etc.
Thanks

Philips in Lisburn sorted my wing rust.

I've got a request in at the minute mate. Offered me 50% but the after sales manager is trying to get a bit more.

Lyons. Can I ask how bad the rust was on the wings that convinced phillips to help? Have you any pics? And also was your car serviced regularly by Philips vw?

It'd never been serviced by Philips.

The rust was very minor (the seller hadn't even noticed it).

I'm from lurgan in n i so deal with vw in Portadown they don't seem to be upnto scratch compared to Portadown audi who were more than happy to help with the silliest of questions!

I use my local mechanic for any servicing or other work with no problems what so ever !

Hi cutchie.
Was your car bought from a VW dealer? It's been a few weeks now mate and I think it's time I phoned them again.
