Update as of today on the car:

For the past 2 and a bit weeks the car has been at the panel beaters, not sure if its done yet by today. Until then we are stuck with a POS corolla loan car. From what the insurance assessor told us, all parts are being replaced with brand new ones. Even the rear windscreen, twin boot system, new parking sensors etc.

Was happy with that, but not with the time its taking them to put it on. :/

Hi all, I just bought a Superb Wagon TDI, it was in a accident and only 2 weeks old,. I was told by repairer it would take 3-4 weeks just to get parts due to ash cloud and Tsunami. Manyu did you have problems getting parts?

The car has been at the beaters for 3 weeks now, I've been told that they were waiting on the mounting brackets for the parking sensors. It did take a while compared to our camry, which was returned back to us 4 days after the crash, very similar hit.

My Superb was delivered with a cracked dashboard aircon vent. Took 6 weeks for the part to arrive. That got me wondering about other spares and their availability. Hope your parts arrive sooner.

That's the problem with imported cars. I've owned lot's of Japanese cars and I can tell you it ain't any sooner.....

Must have been unlucky - the one time we've needed parts for our car took 2.5 weeks from Japan - and that was over Christmas/NY! (Wouldn't have needed the parts if the service department didn't screw up though....)

Interesting to read about the wait times for parts. Some have longer waiting times than others, I guess it's just luck of the draw..

My Superb Wagon has been at the panel shop for four weeks now. It coped damage on the Drivers side D pillar from a truck passing by and cargo falling off. The roof rail sustained damage too and this is the hold up. They have have ordered 2 roof rails and both have been
damaged when arrived at panel place, including the second one taking 3 weeks to come from France. Pissed off as VAG OZ will not come to the party with car hire or anything, seriously thinking of not replacing car with VAG group next time around.

Why would they give you car hire if you had an accident? Shouldn't the panel shop give you an option to hire a car?

Seeing they could not provide the part of two occasions,this is VAG issue not the repairer or insurance company.
Why should a repair agent have to supply a car and why should i have to pay due to their inability to supply parts?
