Title: Anybody know if UK VW agents honour a warranty
Post by: teash on 16 May 2006, 16:40

The golf I bought was originally from Holland (came into this country via Motorpoint) and the warranty runs out in July. Do UK dealers honour the vw 3 year warranty with it supposidly being classed as an import.

I'd imagine they would though, i mean a warranty is a deal with the manufacturer not the agent.

Not necessarily true. When some cars are imported from Europe, they are only supplied with a 1yr warranty, and the dealers add another 2yrs courtesy of the manufacturer. Check your service book, and if the PDI was carried out abroad, then you may not be eligible for the warranty.
