Booked in for the waterpump/thermostat at my local dealer. All covered under the all in service plan. Lets hope they know what they are doing!

Picked up the VW Clubsport S slightly thicker Anti roll bar for the rear. Will fit at some point when I fancy climbing underneath, I know it will be a subtle change, 15-20% approx, but might just add a little to the turn in.

Also have one of these in my Garage ready to go on. Changing the bushes on the rear arms while I'm there.

Hello rowlers, that’s an interesting post because today my car was in for service and the dreaded “leak” was identified. The dealer is asking for a refundable “investigation fee” of £100 and they seem to be suggesting that my All In Warranty will not pay the cost of replacement.

A quick call out to any other members who have tried to claim for replacement of the water pump/thermostat item and have All In Warranty….did your dealer allow a claim?

I was worried, as the last oil service was done by me. But, zero issues. Booked in for investigation, no fees mentioned or charged. I've just dropped it off this morning for the thermostat to be replaced. All covered, no issues.

Just set up my All In plan this morning, sadly not on offer and seems to have gone up to £37.50 but I still think it’s a worthwhile cost.
