She just out of warranty so I brought an extended warranty from warranty direct. Called them up and asked if it was covered and they said yes but as its a clain less than 90 days from the start then its unlikely they will pay out..
What a bunch of uselss idiots
Can't help you on the aircon issue I'm afraid but mine's just out of warranty and not that cold at the moment with is ominous.
I have a quick question about extended warranties though. VW have quoted me £512 to extend the warranty at a decent level of cover, and Warranty Direct have quoted just over half that figure for decent cover using independants. I'm a bit worried about taking a mk5 to an independant as they won't be that familiar with them as most are still under warranty and still in the dealer network and WD will only pay £40 per hour labour rates plus you need to cough up about £25 excess so am swaying toward the VW one despite the hideous cost. Any opinions on extended warranties from anyone?
