If dealers still say there’s no update on this long outstanding issue, you can now quote them the service campaign number (10H9).
2020 Polo GTI Plus; Pure White, DSG (because they all are)
Gone but not forgotten;
2016 Polo GTI; Blue Silk

Thanks SRGTD! My car is going to the dealers in a few weeks for a FREE brake fluid change and new steering wheel (as the tech scratched the leather on mine while changing the touch screen!) I’ll see what they say, but even though these things should flag on their system based on the cars VIN, I wouldn’t be surprised if they have no knowledge of the campaign! 🙄.

Thanks for the update. No surprise that I had to read it here first rather than VW UK or my local franchised VW dealer letting me know! I have emailed the dealer and await a response. However, I think the range of OEM covers from APR look good.

Moonstone Grey.
Purchased new in Nov 2020 by me.
Accessories:
Racing Line RL360 Gunmetal Grey 19"Alloys. Tyres are new Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6. Both fitted 20/10/23.

I spoke to VW Uk again last week and dealers both had no idea ref the replacement covers date. VW uk said maybe  replacement part available end of year! 🙄

How will this work then do you have you quote this to dealer or wait for VW to contact you?

Are these the carbon ones or do they do a std one too?

Massimo trawls the internet for Golf Mk8 info... he found it somewhere...

Whether your dealer has been informed yet is anyone's guess - or even if VW UK know...
Current: Mk8 GTI DSG, Adelaides, DCC, HUD, HK, Winter Pack, Rear Camera.. Aka "HMS Weasel"
