VW Aust extend transmission warranties

[Ryan_R]

Think he meant calendar (delivery date on or after 1 Jan 2013) as that would go along with other warranty and servicing changes beginning from that date.

Where does date of purchase fit into this, I wonder? My new MY13 GTI, purchased last month, was built in mid-Dec 2012, which is pretty quick to market for this part of the world, but 2 other "new" MT13 GTIs I was offered by the dealer were built in Aug and Sep 2012. Seems a bit harsh to be buying a car built 9 months ago, purchased yesterday, but it's not covered by the extended warranty because it wasn't built in 2013.

Actually it could be 2013 onwards does NOT get the extended warrantee. I only say this because the new part was made in feb this year (so there should be no problems...haha) but cars made before this still have the faulty part. My car is a MY12 (July 2011) and I have the extended drivetrain warrantee.

Already a thread on this??

5 Year VW Driveline Warranty (includes DSG)

[shauno]

The Transmission Warranty for passenger vehicles is for 5 years or 150,000 km, whichever comes first.

Warranties < Technology & Service < Volkswagen Australia

It's not some super secret thing, it's on the website & the info is being promoted by the dealers. If you want to know if your car is covered, call VW or your dealer.

That's somewhat more comprehensive than the NZ warranty, which can be found here. No mention of 5 year transmission warranties.
