I was in a car accident
It happened at North Ipswich.. i had to quickly brake because the car infront of me did and then 5 seconds after bang bang the car behind me hit me
twice but it wasnt his fault it was the ford behind him... when we got out of our cars the fella in the ford said he wasnt looking for 2 seconds and
wham.
my baby is hurt  |

Hey, sorry to hear the bad news 
Always check further on a VW. any impact on the exhaust puts load directly back on the motor, partiularly the exhust studs and heads etc. Hate to see
it show up down the track and wonder what caused the problem. :thumb

I got hit from behind and also check that the panels where the bumper brackets attach arn't bent or warped. I found lots more damage the more i
looked. SO make sure u find everything before u get the repair work done. |

Glad to hear you're okay!
Take it as an opportunity to get a few minor defects fixed up... as long as the chassis is still pretty straight.
Make sure that you get checked by a doc for whiplash - this often takes a day or two to set in.
Hope you're back on the road soon.
Andrew

Sorry to hear about your baby. As much as we love our cars, the most important thing is you.
As you have been told your baby will be paid for by the others at fault, so get it checked out by a panelbeater who knows VW's. I am sure there
are many here who will recommend someone to you to get the quotes done.
Good Luck to you and your baby
