White Worm on your Alloys

[winrya]

Hi... My local dealer (VW Priory Pk) JCT600 delt with mine very swiftly. One of them only had the tiniest of dots on it. But it was enough to claim a change.
Ended up with four new ones, all put away for when I sell or trade the car next....

Mine is out of warranty soon so popped it in and they ordered 2 replacements. While on order I spotted a mark on a 3rd wheel. Rang them and they said no problem and ordered a 3rd.  Car went in for service yesterday and they couldn't swap the wheels because they were all damaged when they got them out the box. However, they found a spot on the edge of the 4th so have ordered another 4.  I'm very pleased, almost 3 years old with brand new monza's. £1560 is the retail value!!!!!!

that is a stroke luck! Who's the dealership you went to?

This will be another change that VW will do to the MKVI - No more laquered alloys. Saying that you would have thought that they had learned their lesson from the MKIV Anni alloys.

So they let you keep your 'old' wheels when they replaced them??

dont think they did, he has BBS on, so is keeping the warranty replacements till he sells ?, or thats how i read it

And the BBS on the previous polo gti, the 16" wheels on the current sport golfs and the new r32 wheels are worse apparently. Every car in the vw range have a diamond cut option. Worm only happens in the uk apparently
