Going in next week for them to have a look. i think they are going to try and pull a fast one with me as iv had paint on other parts of the car and it has the roof wrap.Its safe to say they wont beat me in an argument and it will be done... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piers Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Which parts are rusty?none of the car is rusty... there are some bubbles on the top by the runners. It probably is rust underneith but its just bubbled the paint at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a few bits to sort here and there. Never bothered going to vw in the end. I'm going to have a lot more work done at ultimate car care in the near future so I will just get Matt to sort it whilst it's there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophieb908 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 I heard back from VW today and they won't respray my rood under warranty as the car is too old or some crap - which is funny seing as it is 11 years old and the anti-corrosion warranty runs for 12 years! grrrr so angry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford94 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 abover my drivers door its gone bubbly but i can never notice it really. my lupo is a 1999? so basically i have no chance of this getting sorted for free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterylemon Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Just gave mine it's first proper clean since I've owned it (November). I had already seen some rust on the roof when I bought it but spotted a fair bit around the car now I've been right up close to it. Mostly just bubbling but so far I've seen...Bubbling on drivers front archBubbling on pass rear archBubbling along the length of both sillsNumerous bubble patches along both roof guttersBubbling around tailgate handleSeems it will be rust that kills these cars off. The sills are my main concern. Bubbling under the paint usually means the metal behind isn't in great shape. Guess I will just have to wait and see what the MOT testers think. Shame, as even though the paintwork on mine isn't in the best condition, it does still look nice once clean. Once the rust starts coming through, it will look a right mess... Ah well. Maybe i'll rat it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danoid Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 The only bubbling on the misses car is a few bits in the rain channels on the roof. Shame its a X reg and too late now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frese Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Some rust/paint bubbling starting on mine. Went into dealer today to get the bodyshop to quote me for repairs and roof repaint. Waiting to hear what the damage might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 If it's within the 12 year anti corrosion warranty, it's worth a try. If the dealer says no, ask VW Head Office directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stator Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Balls, mines 12 years and 4 months. It has the rust in the same spot, typical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Mine has two medium size bits of rust in the roof gutter or whatever it's called and is now out of warranty. When I say medium sized, I'd say they're the size of a tennis ball. The paintwork hasn't come off, it's just bubbled. I don't like to touch it because I'll fetch the paint off I imagine.An independent garage has quoted me £160 to sort both of them. Is this normal? High? Low? I'm quite happy to pay to get it cleaned up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William red lupo Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I have a 1.0 lupo v reg would this be coverd or not as i have rust an my roof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stator Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 V reg is 13 years old, so no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZombieJosh Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Has anyone tried fixing this themselves or is it a nightmare? Sanding down a patch and respraying? £160 sounds alright to me, Skezza. I haven't got any quotes, but had been imagining higher than that. I've got one patch on the roof gutter. It's a real shame as the rest of the paintwork is pretty good. Edited August 28, 2013 by ZombieJosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
