The bongs are back (sos, travleasist l, ect) happens just like thay used to , anyone know if a replaced part has individual warranty and if so how long for and failing that how much is this going to cost to assuming ££££, also had the puddle lights fail one replaced a year or 2 ago then the others just gone. 21 reg mk8

Any help is appreciated

Parts that have been replaced under the 3 year Factory Warranty are covered for the remainder of the Factory Warranty; they don’t have an individual warranty.

This is from the Factory Warranty terms and conditions;

Replacement parts warranty
All Volkswagen Original replacement parts carry a parts warranty for a period of 2 years/unlimited mileage, from the date of purchase. Items with warranties in excess of 2 years will be advised to you at the time of purchase. The 2 year parts warranty does not apply to parts fitted under the terms of the vehicle warranty, which are warranted for the remaining period of the vehicle warranty. Fair wear and tear items covered by replacement parts warranty are subject to the same limitations as for new cars as detailed above.

Gone but not forgotten;

2011 mk6 Golf GTD; Carbon Grey
2007 mk5 Golf GT (2.0 170bhp TDI version); Deep Black Pearl
2002  mk4 Golf GTI (the 150 bhp diesel version); Deep Black Pearl

Which has always sounded a bit crazy if you apply it to an extreme example - say you had a new engine fitted under your new car warrantee the week before it ran out - that would effectively mean a brand new engine had only 7 days warrantee on the parts and the fitting....

There doesn't seem to be any recognition that there is a chance a defective new part might be fitted in the warrantee period.
