Exonian: It is supposed to be as comprehensive as the original 3 year warranty that comes with all cars. I'm unsure whether it extends the "3 year no quibble paint warranty", and some trim piece/seat cushion failures could possibly be construed as "wear and tear" going by past experience with other marques. Other than that I don't think there is anything that definitely isn't covered.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

In that case it's pretty darn good value as warranties go.  :cool:

I've just been reading the FAQ's on the order tracking page and it says you NEED to spec the extended factory warranty on order as you won't be able to add it once the car is registered?? :o

Maybe they build it a bit better if they know they're going to have to pay out to fix it for longer?!!!  :grin: :laugh:

I've asked for it on mine but it isn't on the order form. as long as it done pure registration then it should be ok. as far as I'm aware its a fully extended VW warranty.

 Squit - all points are valid and all opinions greatly appreciated.

I took out an Audi 4th year warranty on my current car and yes, that had to be taken out and recorded with Audi BEFORE the car was registered - so I guess it's the same for all the VAG group.
