Detailing / Re: water spots spotted on front hood
« Last post by MinchCS on 12 April 2026, 18:02 »
Common on recent ceramic coats - sadly. Try a product like Gyeon water spot remover or https://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/products/kamikaze-collection-no-8-heavy-water-spot-remover.aspx?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=14211048867&gbraid=0AAAAAD9rYpog4Ds90NsYfOhkxazm34OWZ&gclid=CjwKCAjwhe3OBhABEiwA6392zL3gnanI1VpbGdl5jv6nGXvJ4AvpF2YqfpzJPpnVZkhV2DQ8Dv-ymxoC0XgQAvD_BwE

Restored my faded scuttle panel cover with a product called Buzzweld PIO (highly recommended!) and also replaced the front wiper arms as they were showing a bit of corrosion.

Broke on eof the tabs off mine yesterday. Ordered a genuine from from AKS for £27 delivered. My eye was briefly drawn to the fancy alloy ones at £70-ish, but I had a word with myself and went sensible.

Just an update on this, in case it helps anyone else out.

Car has been with the VW dealer in Tamworth for nearly 3 weeks now. Repeated repair attempts appear to not solve the issue. I'm not certain what the extent of their repairs have been so far (other than the initial two new injectors), I was told "wiring needs changing and re-coding" so I assume some harness has been replaced (not sure why that would need coding to the vehicle though).  As of right now, I'm told VW UK technicians have advised to replace the inlet manifold, which is being delivered tomorrow and is being fitted on Monday. We'll see. Will update on any further replacements or progress as and when. What a faff.

I'll be contacting my lease company and the broker v. soon to apply some pressure to VW and enquire about some form of compensation. I'm paying for a GTI and I've been driving a T-Cross for the last three weeks. Pretty big downgrade...

Sounds like there service dept is a useless as the sales at VW tamworth they were useless when I bought mine would never go back ther tbh
