rejected VW warranty claim
Discussion
I know this happens on Leons as well, most of that cost will be labour as the part isn't that expensive.
There's a way to do it from the glovebox that cuts the labour time down which may be the same on Golf.
If you are handy with spanners may be a route to DIY, check some golf forums for advice

My wife brought a 2010 Golf privately. It had VW history and she maintained the VW history. A few weeks after a service an EGR issue appeared, due to the history of it being maintained by VW and this being a known fault, after escalating this with VW, I was offered a few options and our chosen one was to have the dealer labour costs covered by VW and we simply paid for the part.
Still cost us £650 IIRC but it would have been double that or more if we had to pay for it all ourselves.
So I would suggest you speak with VW themselves and see what they can offer you.

You won’t get anywhere contacting VW and, as you have found out, WARRANTIES are not worth the paper they are written on. I’d just swallow the grand hit and get it fixed.
I’ve had an extended ŠKODA Warranty since year 4 ( car now 8 years old ) and so far I’m about 3.5k up on claims from my extended warranty so your blanket statement is a load of rubbish. Having said that, the Inchcape VW dealer we use said the warranty they use for non-approved used are more co-operative than the VAG Approved Used one - think it was run by Car Care Plan.

I read stuff like this and then they go and buy another VAG dustbin. At least the people who repeatedly subject themselves to Land Rover quality and service get to drive a Range Rover for their trouble, VAG customers go through the same to have vinyl seats, crap ride, and a four banger diesel engine
Whatever 350bhp and 4wd is enough for me maybe save hard and one day you can buy yourself something decent ? Narcisus said:

...until the warranty expires.
Well I have another full year of warranty so that will make the car 9 years old. Luckily I have plenty of cash in the bank so no worries if anything goes wrong Each to his own
I see you have a classic garage of reliable vehicles haha ! Priceless !BenS94 said:

"They said" of course they did, to get you to buy it. Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
