Extended Warrnaty?

[Grandmaster80]

Hi frds,

I have got my passat back after fuel pump failure (as per my last thread). The dealer now suggested me to buy three year extended warranty from RAC I think. Around 300-400 per year. mine is 55 Reg 2.0 Tdi SE and has done 71000 miles. So not under VW warranty.

First question is should I buy one? what i will be covered or not coverd?

Second question is should i buy from VW or AA or any others?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

I think the important thing is to read the smallprint - some are better than others (an useless generic statement, I know)

How much is a VW warranty out of interest?

Don't know if you can see this http://www.warrantyquoteonline.co.uk/op.html but it's the warranty that I'll probably be taking out on my Passat once I get to 60k - it's £191

I'll keep an eye on this post and let you know what I find out. My car is in the same situation - 73k, 3 year old and out of warranty after just having the fule pump fitted under good faith at xmas.

Don;t want another shock around the corner... VW do this one and it covers what you would expect - subject to terms and conditions of course. Can't see any costs though, but I suspect that is different for every car and condition/age etc...

Hello,

Does anyone know if Audi does a warranty like VW as there all in the VAG group?

I've had a quote on a VW extended warranty on my 2.0tdi Passat - In the region of £1300 and that varies between models, engines, specs, etc (My GF's brother is the guy that sold me my car and he got me the costs).

Not sure if that's ever going to be worth it TBH and I'd consider an all covering third party one.

Thats no good JTW, it only covers cars that have done less than 70k... VW seems to the be best bet, at least it can be used at the ********...

Sorry, I didn't note the mileage - my bad.

I am, however, going to call my GF's stepbrother to see what the "family" rate is for an extended warranty...

Any chance you can bulk sell those on here as well... on mates rates?

Hi, I just spoke with VW extended insurance and the guy told me they can't give me extended warranty now because car has done more than 60K. So this option is gone.

I checked on internet last night and there was primum warranty for £514 for three years. I cant remember the website now because I did not save that. I will check again and tell you the details of the cover later on.

One question which im not sure and wants your advice. My car's cam belt needs changing soon because its approaching 80K, so will i be able to get this done under the warrnty? I am just thinking I will spend around £300 to change this any way so why not buy warrnty for £514 then?

Domoesto and I are on the same boat!! I am confused should I spend this money or not?
