Fog Lights Covered By Warranty?

[Cupra_Jay]

Great start to the new year!

woke up this morning to be told by my dad that my drivers side fog light is smashed!!!

im sure i know the answer to this but want to make sure, are the fog lights covered under the seat warranty?? if not, how much do they cost to get a new set and what are the part numbers?

have removed the fog lights as i didnt want any water getting into them and making anything worse! so this is my cars new look for the year until i can get them replaced!

Accidental damage isn't covered by warrantee

But I think the P/n you want is 6L0 941 703

 

[Cupra_Jay]

cheers m0rk, didnt think it would be!! dont suppose you know how much they cost do you?

PM Guiness mate, he's just bought some for his car, he might have the prices, he's been having trouble fitting them i think, but yours will be a straight swap.
sorry to hear about the damage, any idea how it happened? always nice to have extra expense after christmas huh

 

[T. Spark]

Could have been a stone hit, or anything really.

They arent cheap, I know that much.

Sorry matey

 

[m0rk]

will give him a pm see what he says

no idea how it happened, can only guess it was a stone! was driving around for a while yesterday afternoon, cud of happened then. if i found out (doubt that i ever would!) that someone had kicked it and done it delibrately i wud be seriosuly pissed off!

this happened tyo one of my fogs was racing a rx8 down a country road right on his bumper and i heard a smash carried on going then got to work and saw that he had obviously flicked a stone up for a replacement fog it was about £70

unlucky fella, not a good start, but atleast its only a lil thing

 

[Guinness]

sent u the PM mate, about it but yer about £70 sounds about right dead easy to fit replacement, although u do need 2 fit it to a certain tension for the right alignment think it is 5 or something al tell u when a get the guide out the car later on.

can find them on ebay on a regular basis. Did know where there was a set for £30 not sure if they're still there though

 

[rashcupra]

£30 dont think so! maybe for after market ones!

 

[Guinness]

saying that though u can get a full kit for cheaper than 2 lights

 

[maxcars1]

£30 dont think so! maybe for after market ones!

I dont take too kindly to comments like that when I know what I'm talking about. The parts I was refering to were/are available at DK Salvage in Peterborough who are regular sellers on Ebay - do a search. They quoted me £30 for the pair and are sat in a yellow Mk4 that they have had for approx 9 months.

Thats not a bad price. Is it me or is your mesh smashed too??

 

[rashcupra]

maxcars1 was just simply stating that its too cheap to be true surely so dnt get your nikers in a twist i look thro ebay vertually everyday for bits on the beezer and have never spotted them. not deniying they dont!

scotty b front toe eye cover is behind piece of grill missing

 

[gazjones]

obviously the ones from dk salvage are not new but they dont list everything on ebay so i would say 30 quid is about right off a smashed up car. cupra jay have you covered the wires up as well after taking them off?

 

[maxcars1]

Gaz in fact they'll be a set on that yellow Sx that we know about near Newark

 

[gazjones]

yea that 1.4 sx at claypool shame thats not a higher spec lol ill have taken most things of it

 

[Cupra_Jay]

70 quid for a fog light!! is a joke of you ask me, dont have much choice though, will have a look on ebay see if i can find anything

Is it me or is your mesh smashed too??

the nesh isnt smashed, i did a track day back in december and i had to fit my towing eye but i have lost the screw that holds the blanking plate over it so i can re fit it!!!
