VW's 3 Year Extended Warranty

[Bayman]

What was the known manufacturing fault?
Inquiring minds and all that...

Valve Body - Solenoids, low pressure - worn out after 80,000kms, at least 50% of this travelling was freeway 100Km/h driving - go figure. Over 12months ago VWA decides to alter the "sealed for life" to change the oil and filter in the Auto (Non DSG) at 60,000kms. These Germans have a habit of changing their minds.... (timing belt interval !).

No oil in the world can last that long or for life so the fact that they change at 60km is a good thing. It prevents a nasty breakdown in the future. Small price now will save $$$ in future.

Well, glad that ordeal is over

Finally purchased my extended warranty for my R36 today from the wonderfully helpful lady that is Michelle Traill at Klosters VW.
She was very helpful and patient in outlining my options and assisted me to make the best decision that suited my needs.
Her pricing was also by far the best i'd come across, so i'd highly recommend you giving her a ring to she can assist you also.

Hi Pash,

Which extended warranty did you go for and why? My GTI is fast coming to that time too so a decision is required!

Thanks,

[PASHN8]

I went with the Allianz 36month/75,000km extended warranty primarily because I wanted 3 years of coverage rather than the maximum 2 years offered by VW

[Candyman]

I'm confused as hell now.

Need to read our policy.

Was sure we had an Allianz policy for 2 years extra and an extra 100k km ?

I am now reading 2 and 3 yrs with combinations of kms

[PASHN8]

CM - Allianz summary of options:

24/Time - Up to 100,000km

36/Time - Up to 100,000km

12/25,000 - Up to 125,000km

24/50,000 - Up to 150,000km

36/60,000 - Up to 160,000km

36/75,000 - Up to 175,000km

[Candyman]

None of those match our policy ?

[PASHN8]

Check your certificate of insurance, it will be clearly noted on there.

So Pash,

For instance if i wanted the 36/60000k up to 160 000 km, it would mean that i am covered for either 36 months or 60 000 km, whichever comes first with an overriding limit of 160 000km? So if my car has 30 000 on the clock i would be covered for up to 90 000 or 36 months, whichever comes first?

Have i got this right?

Thanks in advance

I attempted to purchase 36/time yesterday and my car is just 16k km and there is no way I'll be much beyond 50k km at the end of it all. Seems with 6 months to go, it's too early to do business with Allianz

Guys, with warranty claim, can it be done at any vw dealer?

Thanks

Success! Deal done and that should enable me to sell in a couple of years with some remaining warranty.
