Just Purchased a 06 Plate Gti - Warranty Related Advice - Back From Dealers Now

[ifti]

Its just the bolster wear that may cause disagreements!
Its down to wear and tear, and if it was an older person getting in and out - they probably struggled a little doing so. As someone said, the low miles also indicates shorter journeys, which means the driver getting in and out much more often - causing the wear.
TBH, I dont think the wear is a warranty job - its down to lack of care on the drivers part, and wear and tear is not covered by warranty.

Nevertheless, you'd get some better responses with pics etc so we can see exactly what you mean.....

My warranty runs out at the end of this month so booked it in this week for service and MOT.  I had a long hard look all over the car and the only things I could find wrong were 3 wheels with white worm and a whistling/wind noise coming from the passenger door at motorway speed.

The car was serviced and MOT'd with no problems, the 3 wheels were replaced and the door seal is being replaced next week all under warranty.  I have made full use of the warranty since I've owned the car! 

I've taken out an extended warranty with the Citygate group of VW dealears as that is who I use.  It actually reads better than the extended warranty from VW!  Also get free MOT's with their Citygate4Life thing 

Forgot to add that I changed my centre caps soon after I got the car as they were scratched and white wormed.  Didn't realise at the time they were warranty items.  I got the replacements from eBay.  I also had moisture in the high level brake light but I just moved the jet to the 2 o'clock position which stops the water soaking the light.

What did you use to move the jet?
Does it just twist to one side easily, with thin pliers or somet?

If you take off the plastic cover you can move the whole assembly with pliers or molegrips, or use a pin to move the jet.

^^^^  Yep!!

I managed to break the pin in the jet though so be careful.  If you remove the plastic cover you can actually pull the jet out the end of the wiper spindle.

I certainly wouldn't give Citygate a penny for an extended warranty...

I can't fault them for servicing or repair, but the salesman wasn't interested when I was looking for a car which is why I went elsewhere.

I actually use Citygate South Ruislip where you had your problems and my Dad uses another Citygate dealership, again with no problems.

I'm sure there is good and bad for all dealerships.

I bought my old Mk 4 with 10k on the clock and the drivers bolster was worn.  I tried to get it sorted under warranty but was told that it wasn't covered as it was a wear & tear item....

yeah mostly bad with regards to Citycrap
