I'll be in the same boat soon - fingers crossed nothing goes wrong.

***UPDATE***

Yesterday I mentioned that they were replacing the steering rack under warranty and also had agreed to replace 3 x 18" monza II's as had white worm marks on them (only very very faint!) they said that as the 4th wheel had slight damage they would not do this under warranty. I decided to go do there and see if I could get them to change there mind as the white marks were no where near the damage. They said they would need to take some pics and send them off to VW as did not want to do it and then foot the bill if VW declined the claim. Any how they have just called me to say its now all ok and they will do all 4 Wheels! I can not pick the car up until tomorrow though as they need specialist equipment to remove the tyres?? so tomorrow I am looking forward to some nice shiny new rims!

The moral of the story is you don't get if you don't ask and defiantly power to the people, I would never have noticed the "white worm" marks on the wheels if it were not for this forum and I certainly would not have asked for some new ones if I had not read some of the posts on this forum so a massive thanks to you all. Fingers crossed that the rest of the car is ok as it would have been in there 3 days come tomorrow! I will let you know when i get it back....

Thanks again all

good news, fingers crossed they dont damage the new rims putting them on, do check and check them again when you pick it up

Congrats on the new wheels - I had mine replaced and one had a very small "dink" in it but the milky deposits (water under the lacquer) were all round the outside of the rim (close to the tyres) so the stealer couldn't reject it.   The new wheels fitted to mine were slightly different, the grey inserts are darker and the lacquer looks thicker so hopefully no more worms or milky deposits  

Hopefully they will do the four wheel alignment whilst your old alloys are on... Double check your rims when you pick her up - if it's raining take a rag and dry them and check for scratches etc - they should be perfect!

**UPDATE**

Just picked car up from VW Windrush Slough

well this dealer I can recommended. They agreed to replace all 4 monza II's under warranty, They changed the wheel bearings, Steering rack, Carried out a Software update and adjusted fan jet washers all under warranty. I paid £140 for a 30k service and £50 for an MOT (which it passed)

When I went to pick it up they said "sorry sir it is not quite ready" I thought, sh!t they have buggered something up and are trying to fix it quick! but I was wrong "as we replaced the alloys and they looked nice and clean we thought we would clean the rest of the car for you"  hold on you meant to be a stealer this cant be right! Any how I waited 5mins and then was taken out to the car and it looked  with the new rims gleaming in the sun.

Thank you Windrush Slough for a great Service and thanks to Claire the service girl who was very cute!

Lets see it then ... cant remember what new Monza II looks like anymore 

[winrya]

3 of mine have the beginnings of white worm.  I spoke to my dealer the end of last week and i have 3 on order

You would think they would have learnt from the RC's - the 25th Anniversary wheels.  How long before they start replacing the MonzaII's with a painted finish ...
