I bought an 07 S3 in July 09. In November i noticed the paint peeling off one of the wheels. Took it back to the garage. The warranty guy took a quick look and ordered me a new alloy. I new the wheels had been refurbed by the dealer when they took the car back but didnt say anything. While waiting for the new alloy to arrive ( took ages to come because of all the bad weather and didnt get it on until in between xmas and new year) the other 3 wheels started to blister and peel. I was told if the warranty claim was accepted they would just put the other 3 wheels through aswell. As you can imagine it wasnt. Next step was to get in contact with the Used Car Sales Manager. Basically his answer was that even though they had them refurbished they arent his problem. I tried to explain that after paying 23 grand for a car I would not expect the wheels to peel after 6 months. The best I can get from him is he will contribute something towards having the 3 wheels refurbed. "Something" could be a fiver to be honest. Got a quote from the dealer body shop to have them blasted and repainted. £465.
