Paint warranty

[Mwhippet]

My 56 plate vrs is just starting to get a little rust bubble on one of the rear arches ... In the service book it says skoda gives a 10 year paint and corrosion warranty has anyone ever had theres done under warranty at this age I'm expecting them to tell me to jog on when I get round to going in to see about it thanks

I had a new tailgate and quarter panel repair a few months back my car is a 54plate

[Mwhippet]

Under warranty which dealer do you use thanks

My car is away in tomorrow for tailgate under warranty and it's a 2007

I had one sill on my 54 plate done last year, they wouldn't do the other side because the paint was too thick, apparently this signifies that a previous repair had been done and therefore invalidates the warranty. Sadly the quality of their work meant I still had to repaint the side that they did myself about four months later. Not impressed, I hope you are a little more lucky.

mine was bubbling but still completely unbroken paint on the sills - they claimed it was stone chip damage though - i hate warranties when they arent worth the paper theyre written on!

[Mwhippet]

Well suppose I'll find out when I take it in lol

56 Plate drivers door replaced and resprayed last year under warranty. Paint was bubbling along the bottom edge.

. Leeds isn't far from me so if my local say no might try them

I've not had it done on my Fabia yet but I had it done on my Ford Fiesta years ago. Some dealers can be more strict than others and sometimes if it doesn't have full service history and the relevant paint inspection parts ticked off in the paperwork they won't honour the warranty. If one dealer won't do it try another though! May as well make use of it if you can but if it's down to a stone chip, scratch or something similar they won't usually touch it. Has to be rusting from the inside out or from under the paint in most cases.

What did you have done mate? And was it all done under warranty?

[Massbad69]

Had full tailgate, both rear arches painted under warranty.

I paid for bottom of front doors due to 2 tiny stonechip blisters and drivers mirror cap which was grazed.

[Chrisvrsse]

I think I will defiantly get other to my nearest dealership odd question but did they give you a courtsey car while your was being painted

Little up date I finally managed to get to skoda (work and life got in the way) built up a case for the paint warranty the lacquer peel on the spoiler isn't covered apparently will hear back within 30 days and they will provide a car for me at a cost of £10 a day

Are you having a new tailgate?

Not sure they will get your old spoiler off without damaging it, so should get a new one, which will obviously need painting

[Chrisvrsse]

That's was my thinking but I wasn't gunna argue ha ha and he didn't say new or a respray either way I'm sure it will need painting to match ?? We will wait and see

As far as I'm aware the spoiler is tiger sealed on so not sure it comes off and on but what do I know ha ha [emoji13]

[Chrisvrsse]

Quick update car has been approved didn't take long [emoji19] and Is booked in on May the 4th (be with you) I hope they don't give me a Citigo as a courtesy car [emoji35]

Out of interest is it exactly 10 years?

 

I have bad bubbling and rust coming though around the rear number plate, mine is 53 plate so 2004 car, guessing its a No for me ?

[hutchysrs50]

[FromTheDarkness]
