OK, here’s my 2 cents. I’ve owned new VWs for going on 30 yrs and I have had no good experiences with the VW rust warranty. If you live in Ontario your car will rust, and quickly, despite the factory “rust proofing”. My last 09 TDI Jetta was afflicted within 6 years. Most of my rust claims were rejected for the reasons stated by heiney9. The clincher for me was that both rocker panels were rejected because the paint thickness-meter reading indicated the paint was thicker than factory and therefore in their estimation there had been an accident repair. The VW decision was not subject to appeal, despite the fact that no accident or repair had ever happened!
For my “new” 15 TDI GSW I’ve gone ahead and applied the Krown rustproofing. I have a lot more confidence in that, for the long term, than the cheap factory job.
