Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

That sounds like Driver Error, not bad luck. Still, it's horrible when that happens, and it happens so easily, you wondre how you didn't avoid it.Originally posted by Yom View Post
Check out the tread on repainting an alloy wheel.
I hope this helps.

Not doubting its driver error, but its the 4th hit of bad luck i've had with the car. I haven't curbed an alloy wheel in 4 yrs... (ripped chunks of rubber off sidewalls and the little lead balancing weights off my patrol's tyres while driving over rocks though...but that doesnt count) Ridiculously close call with what I'm convinced was a drunk driver judging by their actions after swerving away from me.

Solitaire Technicians cleaned the area and will further investigate in 2 weeks time
By the way after this shock I should actually give credit to Solitaire's fine Service staff for all there services they have given us.
Previously they replaced a faulty air con vent under warranty with no hassles, the only thing is its still not quite fixed yet (won't close properly).- Ben

I've got nothing but good (goodness/goodliness) to say about our entire Golf V buying experience.
I may even take the Golf there for its 15K service!!sigpicComment

Bought a spare wheel locknut.
It came with another bolt, so I've got a spare one of those too. This will save me opening the boot and retrieving the locknut each time I need to take a wheel off.
less than $25 from your local friendly Volkswagen Dealer.
