I've been offered nothing from mine, and I do feel I am due a little something.

My Scirocco needs servicing (which it wouldn't had the Golf arrived in time).  I've not had it done yet, but I was hoping(in vain) that the dealer would offer to sort my Scirocco out either for free or very cheaply.

if you've got a fixed part ex then I wouldn't bother getting it serviced. let the dealer sort it after you've traded it in.

Exactly. Mine is now due a service - not my problem, should have had my car 6 weeks ago so tough sh1t they'll have to swallow that one.

i think mine was a known fault so I'd push for it to be done for nowt if it is just a sensor - especially if youve bought from the same dealer
