Hello, new user here. I have been on the Club Touareg site since I became a TDI owner but created an account here because of a post by Lightflyer1 that came up in a google search.
The specific quote "The document also says it covers anything that sets a check engine light and every disagreement is to be settled in favor of the consumer. " is what I'm interested in.
I have a 2013 Touareg that had an EGR diverter valve replaced recently under the extended emissions warranty due to a coolant leak. During the repair they also identified a coolant/oil leak from the oil cooler which they told me is not covered under the emissions warranty. I have a thread going on this on the Club Touareg site which I don't want to recreate here. I'm just wondering if anyone can provide either anecdotal evidence or reference to anything official that I can go to the dealer/VW with to have this fix done. Someone posted an invoice showing that this was done for them under warranty.
I opened a case with VW Canada and they came back simply saying it's not covered by the emissions warranty without providing anything further. I provided all the "evidence" and reasoning based on the wording of the warranty as to why it should be covered to my dealer but they haven't gotten back to me yet. It's with their warranty administrator.
In the meantime, I'm trying to figure out what my next steps would be. Based on the linked comment about a disagreement is to be settled in favor of the consumer gives me hope that I can still have this fixed under warranty. I'm also thinking of contacting one of the law firms that participated in the settlement for advice.
Any help is appreciated.
P.S. I noted there are some usernames here who also frequent the Club Touareg site.
