That is a list of components not covered by the highest level warranty they do. Does anyone know what the timing chain tensioner would come under?
-
I have extended warranty and got the revised tensioner replaced under warranty from Vw Crosshills

for free?

I chose the warranty with £100 excess, so that's all I paid

ah sweet! hopefully thats the case if it goes! obviously hopefully it doesn't... was thinking about the 100 excess but knowing my luck car would be in for loads little jobs for under £100
-
Yeah it should be covered, if yours is 2011 model I wouldn't be overly concerned about the tensioner.
-
Worth it for the timing chain alone then. I had extended warranty on on my last mk5, didn't have any issues but there if needed, so peace of mind. If I was keeping this car longer than 3 years I'd definitely get one.
-
Like booth says its piece of mind and if you have dsg it's definitely worth having just in case.

You can add the pcv system to that list of things they don't cover as they wouldn't replace mine when it went at 30k miles. Crooks.
-
From what I've read they seem a better option than aftermarket warranties but as with any policy check the small print and expect some exclusions.
-
They are good as long as you keep up the servicing with VW.
The company who underwrites these policies (Mondial) is also used by quite a few other manufacturers like BMW and they've got a good reputation.

yeah aslong as they dont charge a arm and a leg i probably would be... :whistle:
-
I'm thinking most ppl would say no. But those with the warranty who have had it save them a big bill would say yes!
-
Pcv is positive crankcase ventilation system. If you checkout my oil leak thread it has the self study program on how it works posted.
