I took mine to vw start of December as noticed a little bubbling on the nsf wing (pictures show how little), got a phone call within a few weeks telling me the vw would be replacing this foc. So, car was booked in on monday to have this done, but i had a good look at the drivers side again to make sure i hadn't missed any bubbling on it, and guess what, there is a very minute bit on the underside of the wing which could not be picked up by camera, but as the car was booked in this week, i showed the service advisor when i dropped the car off so he said he would contact vw uk again and see what they say.
Got a call today telling me that they had to get their vw warranty inspector to look at the car as we could not supply pictures for the offside wing, any how, to cut a long story short, because of how early i have caught the bubbling, they are going to repair the offside wing and sort the splashguard issue and guarantee the work on it this week too.
So all in, both wings are being done on mine without the need to show any proof of service history etc, plus i know its not much, but i have an Up! to run about it, and as much as it is a pile of s**t compared to the golf, it costs nothing to run it!

This shows just how little it was showing, but this is being replaced, the offside is so minute, i can understand why they are only repairing it, but the fact they are guaranteeing the work, i suppose thats all i can ask for.
I work in the motor trade and know that even the premium manufacturers repair rust issues rather than replacing too.
