I've just been turned down by seat on my claim. The decision was made based on an iPhone picture taken in shadow by the dealer. They blamed poor paint which is now out of warranty!!!!
My 55 reg Tdi Fr has got rust bubbles on the passenger side wing and looks like it is starting on the other side.
It is a known fault with VW group cars as the sound insulation inside becomes wet.
The cure is to renew the wing and trim back the sound deadening by a few cm's to prevent it happening again.
.
To be honest your better to just remove the soft triangles of foam.
I have been told the foam is indeed for noise suppression.
Thank you for the interesting video but my personal intention is to get the VW group to do the work.
I wouldn't want to interfere in any way just at the moment; and I don't have that kind of skill either
I intend to persevere
First they ignore you.
Then they mock you.
Next they fight you.
Then you win.
I'm at the being ignored stage at the moment!
Let us know how you get on. I ve a bad feeling this is going to become more relevant as our cars grow older.
Best of luck buddy.
Hi all,
First post here as I've just bought a 54 plate Leon Tdi Fr. Noticed small bubbling of the paint work and picked up on this thread. Seems I've got the same issue as everyone else here rusty arches on both sides. I'm off to see my local dealer today to see what excuse they come up with but wondering if anyone has any communication from Seat confirming they would change the arches under anti perferoration warranty?
Anyone have any luck with this?
Thanks in advance,
Ross
