Missing Fog lights

Interesting that they are offering a rebuild or cash.

How long for a vip order to come?

I asked my retailer about the missing Front fog lights and weather my car would be affected a few weeks ago. He just called me today say that my car was in the first batch and has not been built with front fog lamps. He said that he has had an email from VWUK saying that they can offer the car with a reimbursement of £245 for the missing lights, or have a new car built on a VIP order. I have chosen to have a new car built,

I have just been told the same thing, £240 odd reimbursement or new order.

I don't know how long a VIP order will take ? He just said they would get a VIP order so should be a little quicker, but how much quicker who knows.

Hi both,
Who contacted you offering a new build? Was it VWUK or the dealer? My dealer today knew nothing at all about it, so do you have a contact name at VWUK which I can give to him?

[Briggsy]

It was my dealer who after I initiated the conversation told me VW has communicated the build error and offered either or to effected customers.

So I suspect they're not proactively offering it up until a customer questions the lack of fogs, if they notice.

What are you going to do Briggsy?

[Briggsy]

I'm sticking with the order, can't be bothered to wait for another build for the sake of some fogs I'll hardly ever use in reality.

For those who have already got their cars without the fogs, I suggest contacting your dealer to get the rebate due.

I'm in the same boat, picking up my GTI at the end of the week and the dealer confirmed today that VW UK will be reimbursing the cost of the fogs (in due course...). Maybe we can call ours a Special Edition 41 - the Clubsport 40 doesn't have front fogs does it. Andy
