New VW Warranty terms

[charlie]

whats with all the No Cleaning requests, do your guys do that much of a bad job...My VW did a great job with polishing and a quick coat of expensive wax 

Some of us are a bit OCD about car cleaning and prefer not to leave it to chance 

If you're into detailing then you really don't want all your efforts in keeping the paint tiptop undermined by someone yielding a bit of sponge thats washed numerous other cars and been dropped on the floor a few times.

If you are happy that your dealer will do a good job then all well and good

Don't know if I'm missing something here but why would a dealer pay 30% of something that should be covered under warranty?

VW UK stand staunch on some stuff saying its wear and tear when in some cases it isn't for example the wife's wheel. The car is less than a year old and has less than 9k miles on it. The dealer knows me and knows what I'm like with my cars so fought my corner and VW activated this clause. If there had been any damage on the wheel I perhaps wouldn't have been so lucky.

Looking at those wheel pictures we have replaced wheels with that sort of corrosion on cars between 2 & 3 years old under full vw warranty with no issues without using the clause you mentioned. That is normally used for cars outside warranty limits (over three years old or more than 60K miles if in third year)
