He did mention that because my car was about 4 years old with only 23000km done, been serviced at a VW dealer, they might cover it under goodwill. I have read conflicting reports about this goodwill policy.

I am pretty annoyed at this revelation as I have heard VW customer service is not great.....

Anyway, I look forward to learning more about my car from this forum.
Take it to a VW dealer and ask them to assess it for a warranty claim. It's a known issue and at 23,000 KM I'd be very surprised if they don't come to the party.

Also, if you bought it from a dealer, you will have some sort of warranty through that dealer.

Cheers

George
