Why are you being asked to pay if car is under warranty.

I thought that was the idea of a warranty It breaks they fix it.

I guess from the age of yours it might be on an extended warranty though

I would get them to put a new battery in and try it.

Have had batteries tested and told Ok only for them to fail completely within a few days.

Have also been told battery was failing but was still starting the Cruiser months later.

Used car warranties here in SA specify that the dealer has the option of second hand parts if they wish and the buyer would pay the extra for new parts. Seems dodgy, but I looked it up.

Not sure if new batteries are covered by the new warranty but I can certainly enquire.

Why would a VW warranty be any different in Australia between states. If its an Australian warranty surely the same conditions apply countrywide.

IE what would happen if I had a problem in my Queensland bought car if I was holidaying in SA and had a problem.

Which states condition would apply.

I would be speed dialling VW AU I would think.

No it's not a VW AU warranty. This is a warranty from a random licensed used car sales dealer that has to offer a 3 month warranty on every single car it sells.

Consumer and Business Services – Used car
And look under 'Buying from a licensed dealer' then warranty.

I guess I should have twigged in your reply 11 where it says "Used car "

That's fine, understandable. I wish it was still under VW extended warranty! I wouldn't be forking out $250 for a new starter motor!!
