VW's 3 Year Extended Warranty

[Fixxxer]

Thanks guys, just wanted to confirm the obvious.
I had a friend tell me that although his car was picked up in December, a dealer said that his warranty as logged by VW actually finished before December???, and he needed to get the extended warranty asap???
Anyways, sounds like a communication error or something, I would have thought it was from the purchase date.

Thanks

i have confirmed that the car i just bought first registered 08/08/08 has an expiration of 29th of july on its warranty possibly due to when vw delivers the car to the dealer ???

My extended warreny commenced at the end on my VW 3 year warreny. The Alliaze VW is how this works.

I was always under the impression that the 3 year Warranty started from the day of being first registered , am i missing some thing here?

Indeed the new car warranty starts the day the car is first registered. The extended one only starts when the original expires.

So if VW registers the car, it starts from the date they (VW) register the car, and not the pruchase date.
Bah, too confusing, I'll ring VW to find out when mine expires (I'm not the original owner).
