Extending your cars Warranty
JPC:
If you've got stage 2 on there, the dealers will sniff it out mate. If your dsg goes or if it means replacing an engine, Vw will checked a modded looking car to see if the ecu has been played with. You could look at it as paying 400 odd for nothing, if they turn round and say it's not covered. I'd personally not bother extending it
TomB:
Most warranties exclude modified cars, check the small print.
Most warranty doesn't seem to be worth the paper its written on, so its worth checking aftermarket reviews on Google before making a decision. My VW used car warranty is useless, so I'm considering some watertight cover.
Top Cat:
I personally would just put the £450 into a high interest account each year then just spend it on the car if something goes. The engines are bullet proof. the only expensive item that is dodgy on the Mk 5 is the air con. Most DSG faults i have read about have been down to the mechatronics unit and they have all been at low mileage, as long as your DSG gets its scheduled oil change it will be fine. :jumpmove:

I would also compare prices from "surf and protect" and warranty direct.

Ahhh the age old post.... A year ago I posted the very same. Could have paid £450 ish for a years cover... In that time I've had a 47p seat part break....there's still a couple of weeks to go to my real anniversary so it may still prove to be a very unwise decision..... I'll let you all know on 6th September!
