RedRobin, Any chance you could wang over a copy of the VW PDF please: bryn@macdream.net


....I'm rather glad you didn't ask me if I could wank over a copy of the VW PDF !!!!  :laugh: I love VeeDubs but I draw the line over doing that!

A copy has been winged over to you by email - Note that it's for the wings and not sills.


Hi,

Any chance I could ask you send email me a copy of the PDF regarding the wing issues to grahamdward@hotmail.com

Thanks in advance

Graham

Anyone managed to get this done on cars over 12 years old?

Just had call from local VW dealer saying to leave car with them on Monday to have both wings replaced , car is 06 .
I have a spot of rust on the tail gate where the badge is which I'm told they won't cover under warranty , anyone had any success on getting this done under warranty ?
Must find out Monday why this wouldn't be covered.
Just glad the wings are being sorted at least.

That's good news.

What exactly did you say regarding getting the wings covered  I can imagine myself going into my local VW garage and them fobbing me off

I asked to make an appointment to have my wings looked at with ref to the 12 year warranty.
The paint depths were measured all over including the roof and claim was submit.
Took about 3 months for reply back.

Did you email them or go into the dealership?

Guys I took my car in for assessment at the start of May at Blade Group Gloucester who sent off a valid warranty claim shortly afterwards for 1 wing to be replaced due to rust.

I have phoned them about 5 times since and they tell me that they are chasing VW but that the company is very busy with the emissions scandal fallout.

Has anyone else experienced a delay like this or are Blade Group messing me about?

Still need to get mine in for a look but I'm not sure I can be faffed with any hassle. How much are new wings?

I'm thinking the same. Tunbridge Wells motorline didn't want to know about mine. Sounds like everyone that gets the "ok" still has to fight for months.

Good stuff. I must get around to doing this. Did you call VW at any point?
