My car is MY06 on a 55 plate but is sadly no longer under warranty (expired sep08).

I too had the wheel centre caps replaced due to white worm but the boot hatch handle was ok at the time.

There must be a company selling an aftermarket copy somewhere.....

I thinks it's a sorry state of affairs when an upmarket manufacturer cannot even create their emblem without it corroding. VW doesn't seem to be able to get round this simple issue (worse still, I don't think they are at all bothered as this has been a long standing issue).

BMW are no better though - wheel centre badges on my 3 series are worming too :rolleyes:

Hi Jon, Thanks for finding this mate. Unfortunately this one has suffered the same fate as mine (whiteworm!). It seems the original ones (the non 3D ones) all suffer from this. Mine is now a mess.

I think I have accepted that I'm going to have to buy a new one. Doh!
