Based on how VW seems to try and weasel out of the warranty when repairs are actually needed... I wish luck to all who rely on it or count it as a benefit. I'm not sure I think it is worth the paper it is printed on.
I had my 2013 JSW (manual) have the DPF go with 78,000, like 6,000 after the emissions mod was done
The first thing out of the dealer’s service department was “of course this will be covered by your extended emissions warranty at no charge; oh will you need a loaner car?”
I got the distinct impression the LAST thing they want is to create any controversy over fixing these cars under warranty; far better to keep the customer happy and quiet
Mine has 86,500 on it now and based on the miles I drive the 10 years/6 months after in service date OR (whichever is longer, per the warranty) will pretty much happen around the same time
I will see how it goes for three years and then decide if I will keep the car and do the TB service (at an indy shop as the warranty will be over at 130,000) or sell it and move on
At that point having got back nearly $7000 in VW and Bosch cash my outlay for the car will be $18,000.
Figure on getting $6,000 or so at the 10 year mark for the car it will have cost me barely over $1,000 a year in depreciation costs
Given you can hardly buy manual wagons anymore I hope to keep the car another 14 years or so (to hit 20 years) but we will see how it goes
I would hate to no longer have a manual but if I have to bail I would probably opt for a CPO Mercedes E class wagon as I do love me some Euro wagon
