£200 to spend - but what??

[CaliforniaCylus]

I have a £200 voucher from VW which expires soon. But what should I buy with it?

So far, I've had to replace the left kitchen door handle so I'm thinking about a spare one. Plus maybe one for the right hand door too?

Are the wardrobe door handles the same design and just as vulnerable? Separate parts or same as the kitchen cupboard?

Any ideas appreciated. I'd rather not just loose it...

VW merchandise like key rings, picnic blankets , cups etc

How about buying something that is ‘popular’ that you could sell on such as bed ladder, mats etc?

As in only items from the VW merch catalogue?

Parts - a couple of fuel filters. (40k change and they are not cheap)

Rubber floor mats - they wear out.

As in only items from the VW merch catalogue?

No. Products and services which I think includes Merchandise. I have an included service and MOT coming up and they say nothing else is required...

Have them put a credit on your account for when your brakes need doing!

 

[dspuk]

Cool, get the catalogue out. I’d buy the catches elsewhere - much cheaper than VW direct.

Is this compensation for leaking bellows by any chance?

No. That was in the thousands....

This is for sagging bellows. I paid for the system to be bled because despite photo evidence of significant drops it didn't happen at the dealers.

Good news is my early variant 03S bellows are still very watertight! Otherwise I might have used the £200 towards a spare canvas...

If it’s a transferable voucher I’d put up for sale at £175 and use the cash to buy something useful

Why not put it towards replacing the hydraulic pump for the roof. That will resolve the sag. It did with ours.

Because I'd rather pay Kernow to do it than VW!!

Depending how helpful your local VW parts man is the voucher might be worth more than its face value.
Ours gave us about 50% discount on all the merchandise, I can highly recommend the VW heritage beach towels, they are decent & a fair bit longer than normal, the fleecy throw has come in useful.
All a rip off at normal prices but when half price & using a Free voucher far more paletable.

If you don't already have any the waterproof seat covers & rubber mats are worth having.
They also sell well on here if you don't really want them.

Three new step lights, they will crack at some stage.

You must have big feet or something, Ive never managed to crack one.

I got a £400 voucher, well, it was an email, from VW but as I’ve got a 5 year service plan all paid for plus MOT’s paid for etc, I couldn’t find anything that I could either afford or want as I have all the accessories I wanted. VW wouldn’t allow me to cash it in, and suggested I buy a jacket with a big VW logo on the back to help promote their product! Er, no thanks. Brand new VWGC off the road for 6 months waiting for a part. The email/voucher has now expired. As has my faith in VW.

 

[Surfer]

I am sure you will be reminded of needing a brake fluid change, it's not covered by the service plan.

So, what did you buy in the end. Don't keep us all guessing. If it was like my BMW voucher, you have to use it all in one go. I ended up with some really expensive screen wash and antifreeze to get me just over to use it all.

 

[Andy C Berks.]

If anyone has higher value credit from VW then the bike rack might be a good option - that's what I used my voucher from bellowsgate for - because I needed it - but also even if you don't need it then they are quite easy to shift to a new owner and retain value if in good condition.

I had a voucher some time ago and discovered from the dealer that I could spend it on anything, just take the receipt in to dealer and they recovered from VW. Had to spend it all at once, but it worked and money credited to my bank account, no problem. Not sure if all vouchers are same but may be worth checking with dealer.

 

[CaliforniaCylus]

Underwhelmed.

My plan was to look at buying a new access / hatch / door for the rear leisure battery. That way I could make cut outs in the current one and add 240v and 12v (per ideas from Steve on here). Then I could remove for sale in the future...

Well, 492 GBP for that little door hatch...

Blimey, left with some tack from the merchandise stand, including his n her t shirts which frankly should be complimentary. Ocean had service and MOT and no recommendations for spend so all good there.

I see Breeze is now part of a Dutch company, Van Mossel.

Service and MOT was efficient. Arrived early and they started early and finished even earlier so all good there.
