Awesome mate, im glad to hear it worked out. I still havent heard back yet so doesnt look good for a moment ill go in and see tomorrow

i got my 1.0E valued the other day at my local v-dub garage and they said it was worth £1850 with 51,000 on the clock, pretty chuffed with that tbh!!!!! lol

i looked into that but it just cost too much and i knew that the gti springs werent much different, but i just needed to to reduce the wobble not get rid of it completely so this was the next best thing, even still they are bound to be better than standard arent they??

If anyone could help it would be very much appreciated, i need to tell the insurance company, but can't find the info anywhere, thanks!!!

I bought a set of GTI springs for my 1.0E to get rid of the wobble in corners, but does anyone know how much lower they make the car?? thanks, sorry if this is a noob question

I know what you mean, mines right in my eye line on the drivers side and not even a little amount either, right the way along the edge, does my head in lol

i hope so mate, please let me know how you get on, id like to know if thats ok!!!!! lol

The dude at my dealership seemed to be pretty positive so fingers crossed cause as i said before it annoys the hell out of me!!! lol

I hope it won't come to that, but mine is blatantly a "manufacturing defect" so they shouldn't refuse it i don't think, but ill keep you posted!!!! Any other tales to tell??

Same happened to me, i saw someone mention it and i went to the dealership and are looking into it now, but im glad i have potentially saved you a few quid!!!!!

Rock on, old skool all the way, think of it this way, you can keep your punching arm strong with keep fit windows!!!!!

Dude, that must have sucked for him, luckily for me i know the people at my local VW dealership and they won't mess me around cuase if they do there will be hell to pay lol, but yeh looks promising that it'll get done for free then so not all bad!!!!

yeh i meant wider, i don't mean offense, they are just not to my taste, they are nice!!!!

awesome, i hope they do cause it bugs me big time!!! lol

Personally, i don't like them that much, need to be a bit bigger IMO.

Right , i have now had all of my warranty work completed successfully at Newton Abbot Murry VW. This thread has a whole bunch of info and stories from other members that will be of use to some people as well as info on how to get the warranty work done. It seems so far the only part that this warranty covers is the Roof, but there are some other areas that are also covered. The warranty lasts for 12 years after the date the car was first registered, so it is worth chasing up asap as this won't be around for much longer. Below you will find a list of all the dealers that has either performed the work or not. This list was composed by the member Bikerz to which many thanks are due. Also bellow is a statement from VW provided by akbarirfan, to which, again, many thanks are due. Once again, if anyone needs any more info, please don't hesitate to contact me via PM and i will do my best to help. VW statement: Body protection warranty All current Volkswagen vehicles are fully protected during manufacture against through corrosion for 12 years from the date of first registration (6 years for the Sharan models). The only preconditions are: The defect must be reported to a member of the Volkswagen Authorised Network as soon as it is discovered and within the warranty period. The perforation must not have been caused originally by damage, neglect, insufficient care or maintenance or by external rusting. A member of the Volkswagen Authorised Network must be advised about any rusting as soon as it is found. All body repairs will be carried out promptly in accordance with the manufacturer's specification and procedures, using only approved parts and materials, so the original level of anti-corrosion protection is maintained. Taken from: http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/owners/warranty/factory/terms Thanks again akbarirfan!! Here is the list: Right, name and shame time! List of which dealerships will do it and which wont. Won't Gloucester, Stoke, Solihul, Batley, Newbury. Will Norwich, Sheffield, Murray Volkswagen, Newton Abbot, Wrexham, Spirit Volkswagen, Leamington Spa. Thanks Bikerz!!!!! Here is my original post: I had rust bubbling through on the gutter type parts on the roof and took it to my dealership today and they are going to investigate it, it doesn't have accident damage or anything and i was wondering if i had a chance of the claim under the 12 year corrosion guarantee and if anyone else has this problem and succeeded with a claim, thanks everyone!!!!! Cheers, James.

Yo dude, welcome to the club!!!!!

There is such a thing?? Can u tell me how i would go about this, please don't say local dealership cause they are all really s**t and don't know what they are doing at mine, but is there like a procedure or something?? thanks

I was taking some pics and the camera broke, thats how shocking my car is, but i love it , quick question, is there a problem with rust along the roof gutter type bits cause ive got quite a bit bubbling through, which i thought was unusual, just wondering, thanks!!!

Thats very true mate, ill grab some later when im at the beech, should be a nice back drop lol

Tbh mate its a bog standard 1.0E with VW 13" alloys on it in jazz blue, but ill get some pics in a bit, oh yeh and black badges back and front and GTI springs on the way aswell

Just a quick hi to everyone, i joined last year when i was thinking of getting a loop, but now i have one and start to gather some info on moding and stuff, but yeh, im James, got a 1.0E lupo and love it to bits, learning to be a mechanic and that at the moment and thats about it to be honest, before i bore you to death lol!!!! Nice to see a decent community of lupo lovers!!!! Cheers!!!!

Thank god that they finally got somewhere as a team, well done to both of the, really impressed!!!!!!
