are all vw main dealers bad

Not all VW parts departments are crap.
Colbournes in Woking are brilliant.
Sadly too far for you to go  

yeah the mateys behind the desk are enthusiasts and always sort you out. guildford and camberly vag are sh!tty. phoned up guildford to order some studs for the head and they said they didnt stock them, went into woking and they were ordered within 5 minutes

I'll second that about Whites of Camberley..........they are absolutely useless. Last time I ordered a part through them, they called me to let me know it had arrived, I went to pick it up and waited 30 minutes for them to find it! Whilst waiting the staff were having a huge argument with one of their managers as to why their productivity and morale was so poor and why was Martins of Basingstoke out performing them hand over fist! I couldn't believe they did this right in front of their customers.
Since then my Dad needed a technician to check his Audi A6 TDI which turned out to have a MAF sensor problem. Whites couldn't look at it for a week.........Martins took the car out straight away and diagnosed the problem, part ordered and fitted the next day.
Needless to say I don't use Whites of Camberley anymore

VAG counter in Espom is pretty good. They get things right most times, my Golf is right on the line of the 88 change over, and everytime they've got it wrong, they've been more than happy to reorder the right part.

Speaking of plates I have mine M6 BLK (Guess my surname ), I have it on my old car still that I sold to my mum, but as soon as the M6 comes out, I will let it go.

and dealers,

VW in Hayes are very good. Parts a great, all are enthusiasts
Heathrow are crap - fault on the Passat they could work it out, took to Woking - Sorted!  It was losing accelaration at high speed (70MPH +) and disabling the accelarator, which sh1t me when it first happened.

I can beat this one! Theres a VW garage near R-tec in St-Albens

I took my dub in there when my mum took her Bora back for a service, I was due to have a Oil change there. I drove the car around the back and some your lad came out and said:

"Sorry mate, We only do VWs here, I dont know what they where on down front desk, But we dont know anything about Astras here"

I was too stunned to point out it was a Mk2 golf
