white worm on tailgate badge

[No Golf Clubs at all]

Does anyone have any pics of white worm on a tailgate badge? I noticed something on my taigate badge/ boot release when looking at replacing with CF in the group buy. (see above sticky).

Warranty runs out on Thursday, car is booked in for something else on Wednesday, if its White Worm I want it fixed.  Will try and post a pic in a few minutes, failing that tomorrow am.

Update...ahead of my visit to the stealers tomorrow, thought I would take the car in and mention the white corrosion (worm) issue.

Their warranty dude came out and examined it, right away he said no worries we will warranty that for you...in fact, let me look at your centre caps....yep they are going too....now hows your front...nope that one is fine...so no problems sir, if I can get the parts it will be done tomorrow when your car is in for the work on the evap solenoid!!

Result...I like the raised vw emblem better too! first time I have ever had a good experience at a dealers...now could you imagine the same conversation happening on Friday 5th September?.. my VW warranty runs out on Thursday 4th at midnight. 

A positive result I would say

 I wouldnt normally recommend them though TBH they are grossly over priced. (£146 for 4 wheel alignment ffs) and my last service about 27,000 miles cost over £300! AND they couldn't work out what was wrong with my Cruise control..took an independent 5 mins to resolve a coding issue, whereas they wanted the car booked for 3 days!! lol...anyway, big shout for going the extra mile for warranty issues like this...its not often that a stealer gets a shout from me....

having said that, lets just see what happens next....after all, they are not actually on the car yet...   but you just never know, it may have restored my faith in them and one day in the not too distant future I may just be after another car.....
