Dirty Bi-Xenon headlight access?
Hi, Is the Bi-Xenon headlight unit permanently sealed or can it be stripped down for cleaning or modification?
One of my headlights has a permanent cloudy film on the inside of the lens and crap all over the xenon ball lens which projects onto the lens and is amplified by the film on the inside of the lens.
It looks fogged up with the main beam on compared to my other headlight which looks clear, this is permanent.
I raised the issue with VW warranty who had to get authorisation, it came back today - denied!
Nice eh, paid an additional $3000NZ just for the headlights and substandard appears to be acceptable.
My experience as a VW customer has gone from very poor to abysmal, I now have to take this further and fight VWNZ and possibly further...
Why the F!@## should I have to fight to get this company to honour the warranty on their substandard wares? Like I need the hassle.
I'm tempted to contact trading standards.......
OR, I could save myself a massive headache, open the unit up and wipe the shit off the lens myself, something Valeo failed to get right.
I'm very fed up with the MK7 Golf experience, I have already returned a Mk7 due to numerous faults and a few other reasons which I can not go into here.
