Thumbs up to VW.

Took my 06 GTI in for its first service today only £100 !

Best of all they are going to replace my 18 " Monza's under warranty !!

All i did was point out some ' white worms ' that were starting to develop and that was it booked in for 4 new alloys next week.

Got to say that the service has been spot on , just as good as the Audi dealer i had previous to the GTI.

Thanks VW - might even buy an R32 now !

Certainly not complaining !

Maybe they will refurb and then pass them onto someone else ??

I dont think you can satisfactorily refurb the 18" monzas without painting them  :sick:

what did the service entail for it to be only £100? whats your current mileage?

It's well known that some (if not all eventually) Monza 2's suffer from this 'white worm' parasite.

You're very lucky to have a dealer replace them without badgering.

£100 is a fair price for a First Service

Chapeaux!

That'll be for the first fixed interval time & distance servicing at around 10k miles - basically an oil & filter change, and brake pad inspection.
