Hi All
What solutions has your dealership provided you. I'm curious to know. My dealer is only replacing my blades with bosh twin aero blades.
I hear that some have had their arms changed.
Tip if you do notice that your blades are playing up take it back to the dealer with in the first 1000km so you don't get the
"This is not covered under the warranty".
Cheers

The other problem on my car is the poor FM reception it keeps fading in and out, again this is a common problem and VW Germany are suppose to be working on a solution.
The other main concern is, I checked my oil level today my car has just done 2000klm's and the oil is down on the add mark and needs about a litre of oil to bring it up. Surprising considering it's only a new car so keep an eye on that for sure.

My dealer told me on Monday that there was no fix yet and they were not replacing anything until VW came out with a fix. This was still some time away and i would have to put up with it.When a man with money meets a man with experience.......the man with experience usually leaves with the money and the man with money usually leaves with the experience.

Correct blades are important also,in my country the european cars I have bought have always been fitted with incorrect blades,IMO most part retailers don't know the right ones and tend to sell anything the "sort of" fits.
Dealers class wiperblades as consumables and generally won't do much for the customer.
Give your windscreen a good clean with meths and newspaper (old skool but works for me) or clean the winscreen with automotive wax and tar remover and then go to a quality glass cleaner.
I get my arms and blades from oversea's and find the Bosch and SWF brands to be best,good lucksigpic1987 Golf GLI Wolfsburg Edition,full gti spec 3a Audi 2 litre on dijifant 2

I had all the same problems as you guys, had it replaced for free at Barloworld Glen Waverly today after much argument. I really can't believe that a company as big as VW doesn't seriously test wipers, hear wastegate rattles and in my case and sell cars with squeaky clutch pedals. My first VW and most likely my last
