This is the direct email address for the MD of VW UK: robert.hazelwood@volkswagen.co.uk
If you want a phone no, then this one: 08443754625 will get you through to the VW UK executive office where you will be able to speak to someone important  :happy2:

Anyone able to confirm is this is still the current MD, and his email address?

Also has anyone had a repai to a sill paid for 100% recently? My dealer phoned yesterday to say the front arch will be covered in full, but only 50% of the sill.

I want to contact VW with regards to why the rear arches are no longer covered, and would mention the other 50% of the sill too.

Yep, should still be the same MD and address  :happy2:

Sent an email to Robert there and it bounced back too sadly.

Sorry pal, didnt realize it had changed. Try this one:

martin.winterkorn@volkswagen.de

He is the head of all VW and I have written to him a couple of times. You will likely get an email back from his peeps saying that your email has been forwarded to the UK MD. Hope this helps  :happy2:

Thanks. If seen his name before but thought it might be a bit excessive!

I actually just contacted customer services there on friday, so waiting to hear from them. I'll get in touch with him if they don't produce the goods though!

That's crazy. I've just had my car in for warranty repair. Had two new wings and a new tailgate all covered under warranty. The wings were auth 100% but tailgate only 50% by vw UK. I was lucky that the dealer I went to covered the other 50%. And my car is a 55 plate.

Oh and forgot to mention, a new badge too. Old one had whiteworming.

When I went into the dealer to get it looked it, it was a Friday first thing, got a phone call back within the hour telling me all authorised and body shop called me to book it in an hour later. Even I was shocked as to how quick the response times were.

So what did they say to you? Did they give a reason why no contribution to repair?
