when my june 05 rack was replaced the notification from vw was to replace if asked about but not to raise a recall as its not a safety issue and the cost is around 1k

....Which is as I feared. £1k huh? Ouch!!
So what's the problem if one just puts up with the creaks 'n squeaks and doesn't replace it?
cmdrfire:
Creaks more than squeaks but not safety-related, just obsessive-compulsive German engineers.

If I put my rack on full lock, she giggles :signLOL:
I assume this rack issue was ok on MY06 cars? Mine is a MY 06 delivered May 06. Low mileage so unlikely to know any different at the moment.

Hi Phil :smiley:
No, mine is a MY06 (July 2005). I expect you already know that the build year naming changes in June in Wolfsburg. A bit like our number plates.
[I like a gal who giggles :evilgrin:]
no golf clubs at all:
Robin I've got a sept 05 my06 build, if they're was an official recall and you find out about it can you post please? You have posted a few times about your good relationship with your dealer. I didn't buy from new and don't have any faith in my local dealers up here. I seem to remember that this was listed under inconveinience rather than fault. Mine is ok but if there was a general recall and my car was missed I'd hope vw would honour it now despite being out of warranty.
