Post by: Britishlion on February 16, 2011, 07:52:03 pm: It was posted on here a while ago , but don't know if I am searching with an incorrect spelling ?

Sorry if im being a ming mong, but do you mean that if you have a mechatronic unit replaced under warranty, it has 2years warranty itself?

Just curious as this would differ from what i was told at VW when i asked about extending warranty. DSG was the only thing i was worried about.

(sorry for the semi thread jack) :ashamed:

For clarification, my mechatronic unit failed but got it replaced under private warranty but work was done at a vw garage !

They gave a 2 year warranty as was a genuine vag part !
