If it is from the batch but the dealer says it doesn't have the markings then I will obviously discuss with VW when I get the call. VW are being very proactive once you are in the system and it cannot be long before a recall is announced.
Presumably if there is a recall then VW France will have to look for you, although I guess they are not bound by VW UK. One would think that VOSA would have something to say on that?

I've written to VW France, who tell me they've talked to 'head office' (notre maison mere), and they say there's no reason for a recall. I'm now writing to VW's boss in Germany. Needless to say, there are a lot of unhappy owners in France. We shall see. Not sure where I'll go after that, I think there's a French equivalent of VOSA, but like a lot of French consumer bodies, it may well be toothless.
