Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • 5 year unlimited km warranty on all new Skodas

    Just got an email from Zagames. I assume that it's a promotion from Skoda Australia rather than just the dealer.

      Does this only apply to new cars in dealer stock and not new ones on order?

        The free on roads is only on dealer demos.

        The offer ends on 29 Feb but there is no indication of whether it's floor stock only or also includes cars that have been ordered and are due for delivery during the period.

            You see, that's how they hook you in and then get you to end up paying more. That's unless you wear them out in negotiations before they tire you out and confuse the hell outta you. LOL.

              I notice that some of the Skodas I have been keeping an eye on on Carsales have mysteriously gone up in price after the launch of this offer. Must be purely coincidental. Greedy barstewards!!

                Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t!!!! I just took delivery of my Superb last Friday and I might have just missed out the extended warranty! Will call the dealer and see if I can still be eligible!

                No, no, no! Read it carefully! It's not free on roads. Only CTP, stamp duty and rego, which are the cheaper part of the ORC. The major part is dealer's delivery which is $2-3000. So on a demo, that's not that good deal, especially when VW was really offering free on roads on all Golfs last year. If VW can do it, why can't Skoda?

                  See what I mean? I stand corrected!

                    Contacted dealer. The 5 year warranty only applies to new cars purchased now, not those waiting for delivery, as their new car factory bonuses have reduced by $2000. This might've explain the reason for prices in carsales.com to have raise the price

                        I'm kinda laughing here...you can't backdate an offer....most of you are complaining about missing out, when you got free onroads, thousands off etc already...or the cheap finance...you can't jump to another once your deal is done. The warranty is a bit odd as the normal extension is 3 yrs to 6yrs for about $1800, so taking into account they aren't offering the normal extension (or it could be the better VWA extension and not the Allianz one done on their behalf) it's not that big a deal if you got better deal before.

                        It is however really quite paltry seeing as most runouts offer extended warranty with the no on roads and lately the cheap finance, Skoda aren't even matching what VW do half the time.
