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.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

I had an issue with the factory battery dying so I replaced with one from battery town. That also died, suspected alternator but just ended up getting one from VW New market with it being coded and worked fine. No issues except the steep price.

My 2017 Wolfsburg is in the dealer today and has had the same diagnosis. I started noticing something getting noisy under the bonnet.
Mine has 58,000Kms
Luckily as it was registered in January 2019 it has the 5 year warranty.2023 MY22 Arteon R-Line Shooting Brake

Interesting... I have discolored (clouded) chrome window trim above the gas flap on my Arteon too... must be caused by fumes or something.2018 Arteon R-Line - Black, Sunroof, Dynaudio, 20" Wheels, RacingLine: Stage 2 ECU+DSG|380mm BBK|Intercooler+Hoses|Oil Cooler|R600 Intake|Adjustable Front Droplinks|Dogbone Insert|Subframe Brace+Alignment Kit|Propshaft Alignment Kit, Milltek: Zirotec Downpipe, Harding: Front+Rear Sway Bars|Rear Droplinks, Other: OSRAM Dynamic Indicators, EvcX Throttle Controller, 034 (RED) Coil Packs, Various Carbon Bits

Thanks - these arrived today. Will see how it goes
Update:
Couldn't get it to work. Did the deoxidizer then polish 3 times and it was still cloudy. Even broke out the Dremel polishing attachment to see if it'd help.
Every time I got a little shine (still not as good as original) it'd cloud back up at the first sign of moisture (even from breathing on it) and was worse than before.. I think the metal (aluminum?) just immediately oxidized.
I then went into experiment mode and tried a bunch of things with similar results... I even mixed some carnuba wax with the anodized aluminium polish to try keep it coated, but that was only slightly better.
Before:
After (deoxidizer + polish x3):
