The dealer told me when my wheel arch corrosion was refused by VW (yesterday) that there might have been a slim chance of goodwill being granted, had I been my car's original owner. Sadly as I bought it at 2 years old, they felt that VW won't play ball. Nevertheless, I've taken up the case with VW Customer Services. I'm waiting to hear back - I'll let you know once I find out.
