Have a read of the above links and contact VW UK and ask for a full refund. The article (American) says that
"Volkswagen intends to not only provide alternative transportation for owners while their vehicle is in for service but to also reimburse owners who have had the issue previously fixed.
The company will also extend the transmission warranty of all vehicles involved to 10-years, 100,000 miles. The extended warranty will also be transferable."
If they can do it in America then VW have surely now set a precedence.

Thanks to the yanks sue happy culture they seem to get a lot more satisfaction from their stealer with matters like this than we do in Europe. IIRC with the mk4 all yankies managed to get their window clips fixed FOC outside the warranty period whereas VW UK still officially deny there was an issue. Despite releasing a repair kit...
I'm sure there was a similar story with MAF's but I could be mistaken on that.
If I was reading it right, in Europe if you are on long life servicing, your warranty is extended every time you get it done. There is a sticker in my finacee's polo servicing book saying this doesn't apply in the UK. Shafted we are... (I know I know we don't like longlife for the GTI but still)

Another case of "Rip off Britain Culture"
