Golf mk8 / Re: 2 years warranty
« Last post by Tony Jazz on Today at 17:30 »As with the other replies here, I took it out when mine reached 3 year old point. At the last service [Oct 25] the car just turned 5 years old and managed to get another 2 years cover [warranty, MOT, service, breakdown] for the same price from VW so not bad. My mileage is below average and has a full VW service history which possibly helped? Peace of mind for £30 a month, sort of...!

« Last post by Watts on Today at 17:12 »I had two all-in-one plans on my last car, I think they were excellent value albeit at £30pm then. Even at £40 though, I'd take one out.

Golf mk8 / Re: 2 years warranty
« Last post by Dav3smith on Today at 16:25 »Yes, I have just taken it out, in this day and age there aren't many things that I consider good value but this is one of them.
I wanted the extended warranty but the two services and MOTs and roadside assistance are just a bonus in my opinion but when you look at the package as a whole it's great value.
Personally I think you're taking a gamble with these cars if you're out of warranty considering the cost of replacement parts and labour costs.

A good deal or am I just waste my money? Thanks.

I found 0001 UK Edition 50 by mistake whilst looking at the Golf EV delayed news. Gotta be the UK Press car. Maybe UK reviews soon.
Where can I order good VW winter mats and boot liner? I’ll be using it all year around so swapping the nice ones for muddy days is a good idea.

« Last post by JoeGTI on Today at 12:18 »Bootliner is well worth having. Make sure it's the proper moulded "thick" rubbery/plastic one and not the flimsy cheaper one.
In my experience the driver's carpet mat tends to show wear quick enough around the heel area. Rubber mats for the driver side at least is probably a good idea for the winter months. I do think they're a bit ugly and agricultural looking though tbh.

« Last post by Pooksta_5 on Today at 12:13 »Dealer did not know anything about it on delivery (24/04). Went back last week to collect my mats and dealer told me I’m number 24 and the plaque is on its way and will let me know when it arrives. So hoping to hear soon.
Excellent! That’s a very early bird. What did you have to go get mats? Did they not give the Edition 50 red and green stripped ones?
I’d ordered winter mats and bootliner which weren’t in stock when I went to collect. Car did indeed come with the lovely ED50 mats 😀 not sure there is any green on them though….. feels a bit of a waste putting in winter mats in place of the nice ones, but they just get wrecked ha.
The plaque is a nice touch. No sign of any plaque on Irish Edition 50's
It should be for the whole of UK, rather than just England. I would chase them up. Send the video if they don’t believe you.

Ireland isn’t in the UK
Sorry I was just assuming we’re talking about NI. Yes, very short sighted I know
No worries, it did give me a chuckle
