Hi all, last week I was quoted £550 by Blade Gloucester (a VW dealer) just to have the spoiler and the embedded brake light replaced to get my 2007 Edition 30 through the MOT after the LED's had failed. Blade also informed me that the used car warranty that I had from them did not cover this
. After I protested, they then suggested that it might be possible for them to hack the light out and replace it but they would not be able to give me any assurances that the spoiler would not be damaged and they wanted me to sign a document accepting any damage that they may cause to the spoiler whilst they tried to replace the light.
I bought the replacement light from them for £40 and then followed the instructions on this forum. Twenty minutes later I had a brand new high level brake light fitted and working with no damage to the spoiler whatsoever.
Thank you all.
