Hi guys, I started this thread over a year ago, but got nowhere with Vw’s warranty department. I paid and had the PVWI inspection, but still the claim was rejected!!
The guy from PVWI was very knowledgable and absolutely 100% sure it was caused by zinc inclusions, but I have to say his report...
Hi mmi & tubs, those last photos are exactly the same as mine.
I’ve not counted up how many, but I think close to 20... hadn’t thought to even check on the roof!!!
I’ve spoken to a guy from a company called PVWI. He really knows his stuff and is aware of this problem, and has seen it on various...
I spoke to VW customer care yesterday. Very nice lady told me that my next step should be to get an independent paint check and recommend a company called PVWI.
She apologised that she had known expert knowledge of paint defects, and that the ‘specialist trained warranty guy’ at the dealers is...
Thanks tourershine.
I did get the paint looked at and checked with a paint depth meter... the guy said hadn’t been resprayed in his opinion...
Think I’m going to have a fight on my hands with this!!!
So Vw think it’s ok that the paint can bubble off with Water going in to a pin whole using...
Thanks for the reply...
Yes looks similar, but as the poster said, they’re hard to photo and show in detail.
I’ll try and get some photos.
But Surely paint shouldn’t blister from a tiny stone mark!!!
Hi all,
Just wanted to get a broad range of opinions please....
So I noticed a few small paint blisters on the rear wheel arch...as the van was going in for it’s first service thought I’d give her a good clean...
In the end I’d noticed enough blisters to cause real concern. Some of the blisters...
Also would be interested in this. My FM is almost worse than the DAB. It's getting to the point that I don't bother using the radio. Crazy to have this problem on a brand new vehicle.
If a beesting aerial is the best option then might have to look in to getting it done!
I've had a pioneer f88dab fitted. Must say I'm really disappointed with dab reception. Switch to fm and it's just as bad. I do live in deepest darkest Dorset but in comparison my wife's Standard head unit in the Yeti has excellent dab reception! Must be down to quality of Arial?
I just work! 6 days a week, then in the evening I'm usually pricing, quoting, doing VAT or paying invoices etc etc etc.....
And all to pay for myT6...
The joys of running your own business!
I am thinking of taking my 2 boys(9&11) to the GB rally this year. It's always been on my list of things to do and as my sons are a couple of car nuts(forza is their life blood) I thought it would be a good father son couple of days.
Any one been to GB rally events before and could give any...
Opened the bonnet just to have a nosey(as you do). Happy to see a gas strut to hold bonnet up.
Has everyone got this under their bonnet?
I know a lot of people did this as a mod on their T5 and 5.1's.
Just wondered if anyone else had noticed it?
Van temperature gauges all read normal but 50% of the time after you stop, the fan cuts in. Sometimes it actually smells quite hot!
Is this a new vehicle thing? All part of running in etc?
Thinking about it, the wife's 1 year old Yeti's fan quite...
I was in the same boat. Tried my best to time it so I wasn't without s van. Luckily a friend came up trumps and loaned me his wife's old Honds CRV for 2 weeks.
Longest two weeks of my life!
When the new buyer picked up my T5 and I saw it drive off, I found it quite emotional. The night before it...
