4 new Alloys!

Post by LAN's GTI »

Just had all 4 of my alloys replaced by dealer due to corrosion!
One was kerbed slightly but it was agreed that this hadn't caused the corrosion as it was on opposite side of the wheel.
Also had rear calipers replaced as they were seizing! The annoying squeak should be solved now!
Not all good news though, they had my car for 9 days! and still didn't respray my rear spoiler (paint is blistering) so it has to go back.
30,000 mile service cost £185 by the way!

I've had all 4 of mine replaced over time and the rear calipers replaced as well - they always seem to sieze after a few days parked up.

Which dealer in Surrey do you use?
