ayup all,
I got a thorn in the sidewall of my front tyre the other day - bad news in itself, but as i was changing it, my thumb rubbed over a tiny bubble of the wheel arch. upon closer inspection, yes it's the beggining of rust, It's an 05 plate estate with only 50k on the clock.
so, i did a bit of googling and came across all of the stories about VW wriggling out of it, it's a common fault possibly caused by the sponge they glued to the inside of the wing.
so - i took it into the ******* and his grin was ear to ear.
he said it was common and mentioned the sponge but was surprised and how new the car was and the low mileage.
he said he would put the claim in, but it would probably be turned down, and i would'nt get a good will claim either b'cause i had been it serviced elsewhere.
Anyone got any good news to tell me they got agood result or any tips on how to handle VAG customer services if i need to...???

Cheers
