VW Passat & Corrosion Warranty
My 05 plate VW Passat has both front wings rusting from the inside out despite it having a 12 year anti-corrosion warranty on the metal work.
It's well documented on other forums.
So far after todays visit I'm loking at a bill of £572 if i take there offer of a 50% goodwill gesture from them. This falls well short of 100% coat to them. Needless to say I'm up for the challenge.
Anyone else been in a similar position with VW and it's corrosion warranty and how did you go about getting them to foot all the costs?

Did you stick to the terms of the warranty, such as any inspections etc needed every year?0
