Title: Best dealer for arch warranty - South Yorks / North Notts
Post by: AJP on April 05, 2016, 03:04:45 pm

Right, just putting this out there one final time. I've asked the question quite a few times and not really got anywhere, so I'm hoping someone can help.

Who has had success (ie not one of these horror stories where they refuse the claim and fob you off) in getting their arches done at a dealer in South Yorks / North Notts?

Don't mind travelling a few miles to the right dealer, but within reason.

Thanks in advance.

Not within reason but my brother had success at VW Huddersfield. They also gave a free courtesy car, so it could be worth the trip mate. Short hop up the M1.

I don't know of a specific dealer, but can only advise that you are polite and know your facts. The fact is that VW have admitted this by issuing a TPI. I would have a copy of it in hand, but I wouldn't draw attention to it unless things are looking bleak, even then just simply state that you are aware this is a know issue and that repair guidance has been published by VW.

The TPI can be downloaded here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8aq50r8whgmu35m/2009Nov9CorrosionToGolkMk5FrontWing.pdf?raw=1

Good luck
