    • Car to go back for fourth time

      Fix dry edge on inside of all doors
      Refit side skirt
      Shoot some paint into a small area under front left door

      Assessor said paint isn't perfect match but none of them are even from factory

      White apparently is the better matched paint from factory, blues, silver and reds the worst

        Geez, with todays technology you'd think it would be getting easier to achieve good colour matching. When is your saga ever going to be over!! Dry edge, missing paint and refitting parts is just woeful. No excuse for shoddy workmanship.

            Yeh, that's what the repairer is banking on. I think more people notice but don't speak up.

                  well the taxi was great for lugging heaps of boxes (i moved places on the weekend) and i didn't have to worry about scratching up the seats... it was a great workhorse

                  super soft suspension also helped me transport delicate stuff without breaking anything

                  but i'll let someone else love it now... and judging by the smell i'd say it's used to getting around a bit

                    That was a big plus then. Not the smelly part though. So what's the verdict............ hope your baby is up to scratch!!

                          • No scratches or runs here. Mine has extra paint

                            Gotta say one good thing about the repairs after looking at R's at dealers

                            The panel fitment is way better on mine, better than factory now.

                            VW really suck at panel matching. At least they are consistently average !

                            • Car is great! A bit worried at first since the tyre pressure warning light came on whilst driving home, but I checked the pressures and hit the reset button and it's all good

                              Both the assessor and I thought that the suspension was fubar, but turns out I just knocked it into its furthest adjustment and the alloy took the brunt of the damage. NRMA said a new 19" talladega + tyre + alignment cost over $2k... I think they're being nice

                              Interestingly the car handles a bit lighter now, probably a side effect of having a full alignment done.
