Hi,
Dont know if anyone else has had any corrosion problems with the 20" ayres rock wheels ???
Mine have corroded all around the centre caps on all 4 wheels, and there is odd places on the face of the spokes that have corrosion marks on them....
My treg went in for its first service today at vw warrington, they told me they could pick it up from my house and drop it back off later that day. The lady that booked it in on the telephone asked me if there was anything else i would like them to look at.
I told her that the wheels had slight corrosion, and that the corrosion on the wheels face wasnt kerbing and although wasnt extreme shouldnt happen after 12 mnths/18000 mls ...
She said they would look at them, and let me know what they thought.
Anyway, they picked it up at the time agreed and rang me around 3 hrs later. They said the servicing was done and that they had ordered 4 new replacement wheels.....which will arrive next thursday !
To be honest, I was gobsmacked.... replacing them without any kind of questions or excuses ?? Top quality dealer I thought .....
Later I looked at the invoice for the 1st service ( which was ?313.. ) and at the bottom of the page it said " Advice - damage to rear under tray - ? 175 inc vat.. So I rang them and they told me the under tray had been hit by something, and that it was broken..
So ive looked under the front of the car, and the tray under the engine is in 2 parts and the back piece is hanging off. To me it looks like to change the oil you have to undo the front plate, and the same bolts hold the front of the back tray up.
It looks like they have left the back of the back tray hanging by its bolts and that it has then snapped off.....
If anyone can understand what Im on about, do you think that this could be possible changing the oil ???
Becuase im gonna get onto them again tomorrow, and try and get them to replace that at same time as wheels....
Shame that Happened when I was happy at there servicing and replacing the wheels
