Happy days....... Took my car back to my local dealership yesterday (VW crawley) to show them my dodgy alloy and they have ordered me a new replacement wheel without any argument. :smiley: To be honest I was kind of expecting them to say that they would send the alloy away to be refurbed which I wouldn't have been happy with. Incidentally they have had a few customers with the same problem.

It was also a big problem with the mk5 monza II the dealers are use to dealing with it now they have had 5 years of ths happening to these wheels and back then most replaced them.

Good result. You spent enough on options and it is the least they could do.

i am sick of vw given us unsuitable tyres with our monza's.  they're trying to save a bit of cash by skimping on the tyre width.
its not a case of, has your monza's been curbed, but  who hasn't curbed their alloys?

i love the design, its unique and cool but  i wished i didn't bother upgrading tbh.
