Anyone ever used the bridge warranty on the 3.0L gen 2 yet?

Assumably it'll become active only after your claim is approved.

I am wondering how soon dealers will accept the warranty work since the CEL on my Cayenne comes up, showing NOX sensor related problems.

We had a number of issues come up all at once (tail light has water in it and throws a code, dash light for fuel pump, and strange noise from the transmission/differential) and they are (thankfully) covering all 3 under bridge warranty. It sounded like they weren't quite sure if it would be covered but guess they got enough clarification from VW to tell us on the phone it is covered, but we'll know for sure when it's picked up today and the bill shows $0

Is your vehicle is original 4yr/50k miles?

I don't recall the warranty but we're well out of it at 105k+ miles. Not sure if it helps but we're the original owners, bought in Nov 2013 from the dealer we're servicing at.
That must be the bridge warranty in effect. Awesome!

Is your claim approved(received an offer)? Did you let them do the oil/adblue service(suppose to be free), by the way?

They are doing an oil service but no mention of that being free. I thought I saw something about that but can't recall, can you link? I'll send it to my wife to bring with her tonight

I thought we only get a free oil change/Adblue if there's no approved fix?

Thanks for confirming. Good to know that you are covered.

Is there a bridge warrenty on gen 1 2.0 cars?
Nope. Only free oil/adblue while waiting for the emissions modification to be
performed on their vehicle or for the Buyback/Trade-In to be completed

We just got the car back and can confirm it was covered, the printout shows "covered under U97 extension". Oil change was not free, as expected
