Re: Customer Service

VW dealers and VW uk are the main reason I no longer own a VW (and am unlikely to ever own a VAG product again) they just don't give a dam....

Re: finally some smear free wiper joy!

I am going to get a Jetta wiper even if I have to pay for it myself. My Scirocco has been dam dangerous this week on the motorway in heavy rain and a big smear in my direct vision.

Re: Grr, stone chips

It was just an over the phone quote. He said that he doesn't really do stone chips at all. However, I'm tempted to try another Chips Away dealer as it's franchised and they may do different things.

Re: VWs Customer Care Re:Tech Faults!!!

I have found several VW dealers to be terrible (still not found a really good one) Its seems to be standard policy not to bother returning phone calls etc. Of my experience with previous cars Honda dealers are by far the best. Its a shame really because I really rate VW cars but not VW dealers or VW...

It can't
It can actually, especially if you have dirt on your windows. My Mum allways manages it on her cars - you can see the scratches when the sun is on the window

Re: Rattly Windscreen

Adam, From your early posts on here, can't exactly establish the build week of your Scirocco but at Wk43 they have fitted to my Scirocco the latest standard "E" version of the wipers, so a new one from the dealer is only the same. Hi, Not sure on a build week, but mine is one of the first...
