Re torque ALL the wheel bolts. If it continues the caliper sliders may not have been tightened properly.

Wondering if this will fit as need to send a wheel away after wife had a coming together with a kerb🤦‍♂️.

Hi

Yes you are absolutely right Fred. its not going to be a sub-40K car at RRP.

Before the Mk8 disappeared, I wrote down the prices UK v Germany. Obviously, as already discussed the two spec are poles apart and UK getting a far more loaded car.

So just for interest here are the mk8 prices for performance golfs before they went off sale (Basic list price, not really worth a comparison but interesting)( but its interesting to see the difference basic currency conversions)

GTI
£39,815  v  40,095Euros
GTI Clubsport
£42,270  v  46,480Euros
R
£44,550  v 54,880Euros

So from my thinking basic UK GTI before options will be £42-44K if the German version is 44,550Euros

Surely the replaced wheel has its own warranty?

Under VW’s new car factory warranty, items replaced during the warranty period are only warrantable up to the expiry date of the warranty. From the warranty T&C’s on VW’s website;

’Any part which is replaced becomes the property of Volkswagen. Any replaced parts are covered for the unexpired period of the vehicle warranty.’

I'd ask citizens advice if that is actually UK legal tbh.... I don't think it is.

Consumer Rights Act 2015 I believe will effectively state that the repair was not completed....no matter what VW might say.
