Sorry for re raising this but wee question
The car is 17 months old so has the remainder of the 3 year warranty on it
Firstly - as the AC Citroen stamp is on my book for its first service will this invalidate any warranty item i call for if any issues
Secondly - I spoke to VW on the chat when i was awaiting this car and asked about their extended warranty and could i buy this ........he said yes when mines expires to give them a call..........but only think i can find is you ordering that when buying the car from new has anyone any experience of extended VW warranty on a used car?
1) As other have mentioned.The Citroen stamp from AC won't affect your 3 year warranty in any way at all.
What i have noticed with AC service booking.They offer to service your VW at all of their dealerships (within a reasonable distance).Like a Citroen or Fiat dealership.I always choose the VW dealership even if it's further away.It is only common sense.
2)As for warranties.You were probably being told about the 'VW Factory Warranty'.Applicable to cars bought from new with owner wanting to extend it from 3 to 5 years from the very beginning. What you want is the standard 'Extended Warranty'.This covers cars going out of the standard 3 years cover.You can get it regardless of whether you bought it new or not.As long as it has been serviced according to schedule.
Warranty cover is a pretty big minefield.It makes standard car insurance cover look simple.VW are usually one of the best but like with most things-at a price.
I would shop around.All of the moneysaving/comparison sites will quote you.There is also Warranty Direct and Warranty-Wise amongst lots of others.Big savings to be had for similar cover if you do your homework.
In the end.It's all a question of risk management.Do you feel lucky?.
