Title: Edition 30 plaques
Post by: golf14 on January 12, 2009, 05:50:33 pm
I read in the July issue of VW Driver magazine that all owners of Edition 30s were to receive a plaque. I purchased my ED30 from new in April 08 from a VW dealership and have not as received my plaque - I wondered if anyone had managed to get theirs??
Cheers

I have given up caring what number I will have I'm expecting something like number 10000 having purchased mine in jan 08, the fact they originally said limited to 1500, and I see people receiving placks 2000+ I have lost all faith in VW, have phoned them 4 times now
And same old answer we are dispatching in batches ...

Will I buy another VW ? No I wouldn't dream of It want smething a bit better next time, I know some of you guys are Vw through and through but their service is sh*te, and their cars have a lot of room for improvement will be a 911 or bmw m for me next.

Customer service is paramount for me especially when you spend alot of money buying a car new and VW offer no or very poor service, and lie about there products!

Well, picked up an Ed30 for the wife yesterday, spoke with VW @ MK.
Apparently I have to wait for a letter?????????????

I explained that the car will be registered to me this week & surely the letter has gone elsewhere & can't they just issue one to me.

Not so, seems to be the case........

I think I am in for a long haul

its a bit of a lottery every time you ring up vw customer services,

some there are helpful others are as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike.

it took me about 4 months and a fair few phone calls before i received mine - no pre-letter for me the plaque just came in the post last week.

just ring them up with your chassis number to hand and explain you have just recently purchased the car - should get it sorted.

Ummm, the lady did not seem that helpful really.
I called on 0800 333666. Is this the right number to hassle on?

Bingo James.....................

Spoke to a top chap called Steve. Gave him the chas number, all my details & all logged & was even given  a case ID.
He advised that the plaques are sent out in batches of 200 & it would be with me in 2-3months.

Fingures crossed..........

Would like a spare or two so anyone interested in getting another order together (once I know what number mine is)

Trouble is if they are being sent in batches of 200, it only takes 13 batches to clear all 2500??..........Now that can't be a huge job! I have rung 6 times in the last 2 months and get a different story everytime.  :mad:  I suppose we will just have to be patient.  :laugh:

When I got home yesterday there was a card through the door from the post office.

Went down there this morning and there was my Ed30 number plaque.
