Monza Shadows replaced under warranty.
« on: 26 May 2011, 14:57 »
Went into the dealers today for their warranty guy to inspect my Monza's which have started to corrode around the centre's.

All four being replaced(including centre caps) with new one's next week!! :smiley:

That's a result.... Yes you could argue this shouldn't happen but fair do's to VW for replacing them.

I wonder what the dealer does with the old wheels. I should imagine they have to send them back to the factory?

I had some replaced on my old Leon.
They said they'd be sent off for auction...

Not keeping them, got some 19" BBS CK's now.

Dealer said the corroded one's get returned to VW.

Good news that they're being replaced Steve.
Pretty piss poor situation that they've corroded to be honest considering your car isn't a daily driver  :sad:

Good news on getting them changed.

I've already had 3 centre caps swapped, despite the VW centres only being used in summer.
It's a dismal situation really.
