    Paint Blisters

    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...

    Paint Blisters

    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...

    Paint Blisters

    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...

    Paint Blisters

    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...

    Paint Blisters

    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!!!

    Paint Blisters

    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...

    Poor DAB

    Any chance of seeing a photo of the shark fin on the roof. Trying to decide on the fin or bee sting options.

    Poor DAB

    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!

    Poor DAB

    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?

    Gas strut to hold bonnet up!

    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.

    Regen - completes after engine shut down?

    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...

    Our T5.1 has gone to a new home today

    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...
