I will let you know what happens, but vw are liable, the first thing you do is ask vw if the life of the gearbox, in my case is 150 thousand, now there is no way they are going to say thatit is becasue who would buy their car if they said that was all that could be expected. Once they fail to admit that the gearbox only has a life of 150 thousand ks then they are lost. 150 ooo ks is not the acceptable life of a major expensive compnent in a 60 grand vehicle.
You have to learn how to deal witht heir questions, quick lesson, be a creditor and make the claims, they will not be able to refute them becasue for the sake of their business. Sunny, what you say is what I am alluding to. VW cannot change the game after it has started without being liable.
Sunny, it is an admission of liability on their behalf becasue they are in effect admitting that the part in question cannot do what it is suposed to do. As an aside if they replace a part under warranty then that part takes on the same life of a new warranty, in the case of a standard vehicle 3 year warranty, then the new warranty replaced part also then starts a new 3 year warranty as of date of insertion
Anyway I have the extneded Swann insurance warranty so we will see what they say first. Put it this way, no matter what happens whether it is Swann or VW one of them will be suplying/fitting a new gearbox into my vehicle, without cost to me.

I advised swann this morning and have spoken with the VW service mechanic. Its 12 plus grand for vw service centre to do the job, if I had to pay for it. They will liaise with SWANN now. He also affirmed that it is a sealed for life box. Whilst he is a believer that no box should be sealed for life and that it should get regular servicing, he did confirm it was a seal for life. So it should be fun to see how SWANN deal with me over this. Either way I should have a new box in next week.
