Paintwork problems

[Saha]

Hello
  Cleaned my new gti and found paintwork problems near side front wing has a micro blister not sure what the best thing to do, if I take it back to the dealer would I trust them in repairing the paintwork or should I leave it and hope it does not get any worse.
Thanks.

Having spent most of my working career in Paint, suggest you take it straight back to the dealer...

The bottom edge of my front passenger door feels rough, the other 3 doors and the boot do not (discovered when cleaning the car). Almost feels like the top coat has blistered/peeled.. Haven’t laid on the floor to see what the bottom edge of my door looks like, but the car is in for other warranty work tomorrow and I’ll get them to take a look.

Hilarious how many problems were all experiencing. What warranty work is your car in for?

Hello
      Took my gti for a paintwork inspection today they inspected the mark on the front wing and said it was dirt underneath the paint it was a warrany issue but they would only paint the front wing therefore it might not match the rest of the car usually you have to go into the next panel to get the correct colour match vw would only pay for the front wing only not sure what to do.shall I leave it or get vw to paint the front wing and I pay for the blending in or just monitor it.
  Thanks.

Going on my past experience with VW's so called approved body shops for corrosion warranty work, I wouldn't be comfortable using them again. If they mess it up, or even leave the slightest trace of overspray, it will be obvious that it has had paint. They may get the colour right, but if they have to blend into the door, where will they mask off. I'd be suprised if they'd take the window scraper off, or the mirror for that matter, so look closely and you'll see an edge. That will put many enthusiastic buyers off.

What colour is the car? Could it be de-nibbed, flatted and polished back up?

Sensor reset for the autohold/handbrake (it completely failed once and autohold has switched off mid journey a few times.

Buzzy rattle behind dash @1500-1700 rpm if settling at that speed or accelerating through the range slowly.

Squeaky/creaky front drivers side suspension.

Hoping they find something wrong with my fuelling for low mpg, power lower than my 170TDI Scirocco and frequent DPF regens.

I think that's everything!

Shucks  so many problems on such a new car? What's happening to vw quality control? I hope they not rushing the cars out of the factory just to meet the demand, otherwise some of our cars will also be affected.

In all honesty, i'm sure the squeaky/creaky suspension is related to the fact that one set of transport pucks wasn't removed. Someone else here had suspension work because the puck was assumed to have damaged something at the top of the suspension mounting. It is the single most annoying confirmed fault I have.

My OS A pillar is being flatted back and resprayed tommorrow due to a couple of inclusions (didn't get a picture sorry).








They're replacing the seal on this door even though i think it's dented, we'll see?





I've told them to check the sunroof where it is bonded to the body at the rear as the sealant has oozed out where it's been pressed into place, looks terrible! I know you don't see it when the roofs down but my brothers tilt only sunroof on his Roc has a trim piece which covers it, could anyone else with a sunroof please check if it's the same?


They are checking for a software upgrade for the DSG box after me complaining about it!


Seriously starting to consider rejecting this car!
