    Small cracks inside headlight

    Best to give your local dealer a call, they will be able to confirm if it applies in the UK. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

    It sounds like they will in the US but they always get preferential treatment! Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

    If you want it to look right then the whole bumper will need painting. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

    From what you have described it sounds like the bumper is repairable. If it's a metallic paint finish the the whole bumper would need to be painted. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

    Even if you were not at fault it will affect your future premiums if it goes through the insurers. I had a guy clip my rear bumper while I was stationary waiting to turn right at traffic lights and his insurers paid out but my premium went up at renewal which my insurers confirmed was due to...

    DAB Reception issue

    I bought mine used approved when the car was 3 years old. Luckily for me the original owner took out a 4 year warranty which was came in useful for a few issuses that wouldn't have been covered under the used approved. Hope you get it sorted. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    As long as it's under the original and not a used approved warranty then it's covered. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    I had a similar problem with mine and noticed that when I turned on the heated rear screen I would usually lose reception completely. Turned out to be the rear screen antenna and was solved by a replacement screen. Luckily this was covered under warranty [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G935F using...

    Corrado VR6 Storm

    Actually the 2.9 VR6 in the Corrado was 190 bhp in standard form not 197. 16 bhp more than the 2.8 VR6 in the Golf.

    2013 2.0tdi (177) clutch judder

    Mind does it to varying degrees but when the dealer checks it they say it's ok. When I complain they say they will investigate it if I'm prepared to pay the labour to remove the box, refundable if it's found to be covered under warranty. It's not bad enough at the moment to chance having to pay...

    A6 Dials (Rev Counter and Speedo LEDs)

    Extra segments illuminate in cold weather temperatures. Since I bought mine in Feb, I've only seen one extra segment below 5k rpm illuminate and that was on a cold morning.

    Personal Plate Spacing

    Technically, an anpr camera will still be able to read an incorrectly spaced plate but the chance of a misread increases. The biggest cause of misreads is actually number plate fixings (screws and caps) At the end of the day you have to decide for yourself if it's worth the risk of a fine.
