Title: Any edition 30 owners get a letter today ?
Post by: 182_blue on September 17, 2009, 10:39:52 am
Wife just rang me at work saying i have had a letter from VW telling me that due to customer feedback etc they will be releasing a limited edition plaque that matches the cars chassis number !!!!, thing is i have a plaque already !!, im guessing its a cock up, anyone else had a second letter

i have received a 2nd letter, I have replied back and waiting to see if I get a different number to what I already received...

I think they just gave the plaques out randomly, me thinks this a bit of a cock up for vw..

No letter here :-(
But I already had my plaque.

To those of you that dont have theirs are you continuing to chase VW regularly ? I only ask as I ordered mine in April just after I bought the car, I rang VW cust services every 2 weeks for an update. My final call was in July when the chap I spoke to seemed surprised it had taken so long, mysteriously the plaque arrived less than a week later.
I'd like to think there must be a generic process they are all following but my suspicion is this may be not be the case.
- Other people who ordered plaques after me received them before me so there's clearly no consistency.

Already have my plaque.  2nd letter indicates that the accounting procedure for the issue of plaques is not too clever!

If you are the regestured Keeper on VW's database , then yes, but you need to go to your nearest dealer and get them to update your details from the cars previous keeper, (thats if you didnt buy the car from a VW dealership.)

I keep telling myself im going to sort this out but still haven't done so.  Im the 2nd owner of my car and im unsure of the database status.  I still dont know my ED30 number either.

Got a letter a few days after I had sold it  :sad1:


Still rang up and confirmed it for the new owner, might get it quicker than them to pass it on. I will update the list when I get the build number.
